Egloskerry, Launceston

METHOD OF SALE
The property is to be sold by Public Auction (unless sold prior) on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at 6.00pm at The Guild Hall, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15 7AR. The property will be sold subject to an undisclosed reserve and the vendor reserves the right for the Auctioneer to bid in the usual way on their behalf up to the reserve.

The winning bidder will need to deposit 10% of the purchase price (or a minimum fee of £5,000 whichever is the greater) on the date of the Auction. The deposit has to be paid to DJR Estate Agents & Auctioneers as the acting Auctioneer and can only be paid in the form of a cheque or bank transfer. Completion will take place 28 days later (or earlier by mutual agreement). Failure to complete will constitute a breach of contract.

All buyers must register with the Auctioneers prior  to or on the day of the Auction. Under Money Laundering Regulations 2017, it is a requirement for Estate Agents to perform due diligence checks on any person that intends to bid at an Auction, therefore the bidder will be required to provide 2 forms of identification at the Auction, a photo ID (passport or driving licence) and proof of address (recent utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 3 months, not a mobile phone bill). If the property is being purchased through a business we will need to see proof of the company’s registration through Companies House and ID for all Directors.
