GUIDE PRICE*
An indication of the seller’s current minimum price at auction. The guide price of range or guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
RESERVE PRICE
The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

Adjoining the entrance to the land there is an area which has been used over the years as a tip. The material on site appears to comprise a
mixture of top soil, earth, stone and hardcore. The sellers do not have any recorded details of when the tipping started and what has been tipped. The sellers do not know whether any hazardous materials have been tipped on the land and therefore the purchasers acquire the land in the knowledge that there is no warranty as to what is stored on or under the land.
Within two months of completion the purchaser will be required to stop up an existing gateway within the western boundary (as marked ‘X’ on the Site Plan), to be replaced with a stock proof fence to comprise wooden posts, sheep netting and two strands of wire.
