Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,800 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to
Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon
completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers
are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.
The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or
assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of
the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may
be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations
and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide
price.
Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or
below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the
guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.
When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s
instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve
price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the
seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at
which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price
close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to
reflect this.
