GENERAL INFORMATION
About these sale particulars:These particulars are subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. Please check our website regularly at: www.phippsandpritchard.co.uk, and look out for any additional materials available on the day of the auction, in order to stay fully informed with the up to date information. Room size measurements:Please also note that the room size measurements have not been recorded nor have they been checked by Phipps & Pritchard with McCartneys and are included as a guide only.Definitions of 'guide price' and 'reserve price: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 the 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 price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.Reserve Price: 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.
