The legal pack contains important information such as the legal title, any existing tenancies, planning permissions, property condition, and any restrictions or obligations associated with the property. Bidders are responsible for satisfying themselves with regard to all aspects of the property before placing a bid.
2. Legal Advice
It is recommended that you seek independent legal advice before participating in the auction. A solicitor can help clarify any uncertainties regarding the property or the terms of the auction.
3. Contractual Obligations
If you are the successful bidder, you will be legally bound to exchange contracts immediately upon the fall of the auctioneer’s gavel. You will be required to pay:
A deposit of 10% of the purchase price.
A buyer’s premium of 1.2% (inclusive of VAT).
These payments must be made on the auction day by [bank transfer, debit card, or as specified by the auction house]. Failure to provide these payments may result in the loss of the property and legal action.
4. Completion Terms
Completion must take place within 28 days of the auction date unless otherwise stated in the contract. It is essential that bidders have their finances in place and approved before bidding to meet this deadline.

In addition to the buyer’s premium of 1.2% (including VAT), other costs may apply, including but not limited to:
Legal fees including searches

Please be advised that to successfully register for the auction, you will be required to supply card details in order for a holding fee of £5000.00 to be placed on your card. Only the successful bidder will be charged. The release of the holding fee for unsuccessful bidders may take in excess of seven days.
The holding fee includes the buyers premium. If you are the successful bidder, you are contractually bound to exchange, with a 10% deposit, on the property as per the terms and conditions you agreed to when registering for the auction. With completion being 28 days later unless the contract states otherwise. Should the property be sold prior to auction the buyers premium is still payable.

8. Guide Prices
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.
