Guide prices:
Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. They do not necessarily set the figure that 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 will be set within a reasonable bidding range of the stated guide price
Pre-auction bids:
These must be made in writing by email and will only be considered when an online bidding accounting has been set up, including the ID confirmation and a payment card uploaded to the account. Pre-auction bids are on the basis of the terms of the auction, if a traditional auction, this means an immediate exchange of contracts upon acceptance with a 10% deposit as well as the buyer's fee listed, if Modern Method Auction, on payment of the total fees as to have been paid when the bidding ends for the lot.
Additional fees:
A buyer’s fee of £1,250 plus 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
Online bidding:
In order to bid when the lot opens at 11.00 AM on Friday the 11 March 2022 (closes at 1.00 PM the same day) you will need to set up your online bidding account through the specific lot on our website under 'Current Auction Lots'. Ensure you read our 'Auction Buying Guide' carefully. In order to be approved to bid you will need to complete your online bidding account, you will need to confirm your ID and residency through a Credas link that will be emailed to texted to you, within a week of the auction (Saturday 4 March 2022 1.00 PM) you will need to upload a valid payment card and a hold will be placed on the security deposit amount which is £9,500 for this lot (please note that when you win the bidding you are required to pay the 10% deposit and the buyers fee of £1,250 plus VAT, once the £15,000 is taken you will be invoiced by email for the immediate payment of the balance if the lot sells for more than the starting bid of £135,000). The security deposit is calculated as 10% of the starting bid of £80,000 with the addition of the £1,250 plus VAT buyers fee. Completion will be specified in the special conditions contained in the legal pack (this pack is found for download in your online bidding account)
Method of sale:
Please note that the method of sale is by auction, immediate and unconditional exchange of contracts when the auction ends under the terms of the V4 Common Auction Conditions. As if purchased in an auction room, simply an online bidding format. This is NOT a private treaty or tender sale (NOT a 'modern method of auction'). The £9,500 security deposit paid when the auction ends is NOT a fee and will form part of the total owed on the sale of a 10% deposit and buyers fee of £1,250 plus VAT. EXAMPLE: if you win the bid when the auction ends for £95,000, £9,500 will be taken immediately from your card and you will be invoiced for the balance of the deposit and fee which will in this example be an additional £1,500. On completion, the balance of £85,500 (plus other costs in the special conditions and standard legal costs such as stamp duty) will be paid through your conveyancer (supplied to us immediately after you win the auction) as your 10% will have been sent by us to the seller's solicitor. FAILURE TO COMPLETE WILL MEAN THE LOSS OF YOUR DEPOSIT AS WELL AS FURTHER POTENTIAL PENALTIES AS PER THE COMMON AUCTION CONDITIONS
* 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.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
