PRICE INFORMATION

Guides are provided as an indication of each Seller’s minimum expectation. They are not necessarily figures at which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to Auction. Unless stated otherwise, each Lot will be offered subject to a reserve price (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the Lot during the Auction). This reserve figure cannot be higher than 10% above a single figure guide. Please check our website regularly at or contact us on for up to date information. Following the fall of the hammer contracts are exchanged and there is no going back!

AUCTIONEERS NOTES: We understand that the buyer is to reimburse the seller in the sum of £750 inc VAT by way of a contribution towards their legal costs. Please refer to the auction legal for further information.
The seller has advised that additional land maybe be available by separate negotiation and buyers are to contact the auctioneers for further information.

Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.

* Pricing Information

The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
