The documents may not tell you everything you need to know about the property and you are required to complete your own due diligence before bidding.

Guide prices Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. They are not necessarily figures which a lot will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Each lot will be offered subject to a Reserve, (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the lot during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range, or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide Price.

Additional fees A buyers charge of £1,650 including VAT is payable on each lot that you buy, in addition to the sale price. Please be aware there may be other additional fees, including disbursements contained in the legal pack payable on completion. Please ensure that you check the legal pack for each lot that you are interested in, prior to bidding.

Deposit If you are the highest bidder when the auction ends, contracts are exchanged between you and the seller. Both parties are legally bound to complete the transaction as per the special conditions in the legal pack. Your card will be automatically debited for the bidder security amount of £6,000 and we'll require the remaining balance for a 10% non-refundable deposit. We will contact you after the auction has finished to make these arrangements.

Pre-auction offers These must be made in writing and will only be considered if the Legal Pack has been inspected and proof of funding has been supplied to the auctioneers. Pre-auction offers are only considered on an auction basis in accordance with the “Terms & Conditions - Unconditional Auction".

Mortgage finance We advise all bidders who require a mortgage to confirm with their Financial Advisor as to whether or not the lot you are interested in would be suitable security to borrow finance against, prior to bidding. If you need to arrange a mortgage it is important that you obtain an offer from your lender before the day of the auction. Most building societies and banks will instruct a surveyor to prepare a valuation report before making a mortgage offer.
