Buyers Premium
All lots are subject to a buyers premium of 17.625% inclusive of VAT.
Bidding in Person
If you wish to bid in person you must first obtain a unique bidding number by registering your name, address and telephone number with us. You may register at our offices during viewing times or at the community centre immediately prior to the sale.
The auctioneer will announce each lot with a brief description, bidding will commence and the buyer will be the highest bidder at the fall of the hammer. Please clearly raise your bidding card or catalogue to bid, if the auctioneer misses your bid please call out “bid here”, as once the hammer falls the lot is deemed to be sold and cannot be re-auctioned. The auctioneer will record the bidding number of the buyer and hammer price as each lot is sold.
Bidding by Proxy, Commission and Telephone Bids
If you are unable to attend the sale or you wish to bid anonymously you may leave a commission bid or bid on the telephone. Telephone bids must be booked at least twenty-four hours prior to the sale. A member of our staff will call you from the saleroom a few minutes before the lot comes up for auction and will then bid on your behalf as instructed.
Commission bids can be entered by filling in a commission bid form at our offices prior to the sale. Commission bids are also accepted by email.
Our ISP have been experiencing problems with their mail
server. As a result, some emails addressed to us are
being severely delayed and in some cases they are not
being delivered at all. If you enter a commission bid by
email and receive confirmation your bid has been
entered, you need take no further action. If you do not
receive a reply, we have not received your bid and you
should contact us by phone on 020 7431 9445 immediately
to ensure your bid is registered.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you bid on the correct lot number and to satisfy yourself as to the authenticity and condition of any lot prior to bidding. All sales are final and any disputes will be settled at the auctioneers absolute discretion.
By registering to bid you agree to be bound by our terms and conditions which can be viewed on this website and at our offices.
