BUYING FAQS
The guide price is an indication given by the Auctioneer. Where the guide price is a bracket figure, the reserve cannot exceed the top end of the bracket price. If the guide price is a single figure, then the reserve can be up to 10% excess of this. The guide price may not always be the same as the reserve price. A reserve price is the price stipulated as the lowest acceptable by the vendor. The figure is confidential between the vendor and the auctioneer.
An unconditional auction is what most people understand an auction to be i.e. the property is sold on the fall of a hammer. The conditional auction gives both parties 28 days (unless otherwise agreed) to exchange contracts on the property following the fall of the hammer, providing sellers and buyers with a fixed time scale for the sale.

In a private treaty sale through an estate agent, you would expect to see the legal documents after you have made an offer. As the auction sale requires speed of the transaction these are provided by the seller solicitor in advance of the auction. The legal pack is available through a link on our website, you can download the document, review and request your solicitor to review. If the legal is not available, you can register your details and be notified when it is ready.
