BUYER STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITION

5.All intending purchasers are required to register their particulars before the sale. The Auctioneers reserve the right to ask for a deposit of 25p in the pound (if required) in part payment of the purchase money, buyer’s premium and VAT thereon.

4.00% up to 50,000
3.00% between 50,000 and 200,000
1.00% between 200,000 and 350,000
