Loss and Damage Warranty

57.   All goods whilst on our premises are warranted against fire, theft or accidental damage. In the unlikely event of any damage, we will either have the item professionally repaired or compensate you at the lower auction estimate of the value of the item – This does not apply to our General Auctions.

Photographs

58.  All lots in our sales are illustrated on the internet. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the Auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue. Please note that unlike some auction houses we do not charge any type of photography fee as this is covered in our 20% vendor’s commission charge.

Estimates, Reserves and Discretion

59.  We advise you on the likely price your lot will achieve at auction, which is usually within a price range and the estimate reflects the minimum and maximum of that range.

59.1.  Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve.

59.2.  Once a reserve is set it cannot be changed except with our consent.

59.3.  Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.

59.4.  Reserves carry a discretionary discount of 10%, unless a ‘firm reserve’ is specifically requested by you.

59.5.  It is important to note that the reserve cannot be higher than the bottom estimate on any lot.

Electrical Items

60.  These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.

Soft Furnishings

61.  The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.

Descriptions

62.  Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur.

Unsold Lots
