AUCTION LEGAL PACK WITH SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SALE: These will be available from the Vendors solicitors as above. 

VIEWING: By strict appointment with the Auctioneers.

GUIDE PRICE: An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction.  The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase.  It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and auctioneer at the start of marketing.  As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall.  A guide price is different to a reserve (see below).  Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.  

RESERVE PRICE: This is the Seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell.  The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer.  Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. 

MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS: Please note that any person buying or bidding at auction must produce upon request documentation to confirm their name and residential address.

BUYERS ADMINISTRATION FEE:  It should be noted that in addition to the deposit payable upon exchange of contracts the successful purchaser(s) will be required to pay a Buyers Administration Fee of £250.00 plus vat at 20% (total of £300.00) which can be paid by separate cheque (to Brights of Bideford Ltd) or added to the deposit.
