A note on 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 property during the auction) which will be set within a reasonable bidding range of the stated guide price.
Completion
The completion date is specified in the V4 Special Conditions contained in the Legal Pack for the property which can be accessed through your online bidding account. If there is no date mentioned in the V4 Special Conditions the V4 Common Auction Conditions mandate that the completion will be 20 working days from the auction or sooner by agreement. There will be no access to the property allowed before completion with the exception of accredited and insured surveyors as requested and arranged through us. On the date of completion, once the funds are confirmed the keys will be released by post to the new owner, this can take up to 3 working days.
* 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.
