The Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse any bid.

Auction fees
In addition to the 10% deposit (min. £5,000) of your winning bid, you must pay an auction buying commission of 2.5% plus VAT (min. fee of £2,100.00 plus VAT) of the purchase price and auction buying fee of £1,900.00 plus VAT.

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