www.symondsandsampson.co.uk/property-auctions
LEGAL AND INFORMATION PACK
A full legal pack can be purchased online. Please telephone the office
below to check availability.
We strongly recommend you instruct a solicitor to inspect the
legal pack on your behalf.
* Guides are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum
expectation. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell
for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Each property will be
offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer
cannot sell the property during the auction). 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. The ‘Reserve Price’
may exceed the ‘Guide Price’ listed. If so, it is customary for the ‘Reserve
Price’ to exceed the guide price by no more than 10%.
Additional Fees
• The successful purchaser will be required to pay the Auctioneers a
Purchaser's Administration Fee of £1,500 (£1,250 plus VAT) payable to
Symonds & Sampson. For purchases of £50,000 or less the
Administration fee will be £900 (£750 plus VAT). If two or more lots are
offered together in the first instance, or lots are purchased under one
contract, the administration fee will apply per lot and not per contract.
The charge will apply to lots bought prior to and post auction.
• In the event of non-payment or underpayment a deduction will be
made from the deposit received. A VAT receipt will be issued in the
name of the buyer.
• Disbursements – Please see the legal pack for any disbursements
listed that may become payable by the purchaser.
AUCTION NOTES
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to take note of the
advice and information given in these important
notes. IMPORTANT NOTICE - Symonds & Sampson LLP and their
Clients give notice that:
1. They have no authority to make or give any representations or
warranties in relation to the property. The particulars do not form part
of any offer or contract and must not be relied upon as statements or
representations of fact.
2. Any areas, measurements, or distances are approximate. The text,
photographs and plans are for guidance only and are not necessarily
comprehensive. It should not be assumed that the properties have all
necessary Planning, Building Regulation or other consents, and
Symonds & Sampson LLP have not tested any services, equipment or
facilities. Purchasers must satisfy themselves by inspection or
otherwise.
3. This catalogue contains details about properties being sold at
auction. The vendors reserve the right to sell their properties prior to
auction and these details can be subject to change up to and including
the day of the auction. Please check our website regularly at:
www.symondsandsampson.co.uk and look out for any additional
materials available on the day of the auction, in order to ensure you have
all the up to date information.
Plans and Measurements - All room sizes, site measurements and
distances are approximate and may have been scaled from architects,
Land Registry or Ordnance Survey plans. They are there to assist buyers
in identifying the lots offered and not guaranteed to be to scale or to
indicate the full extent of the property being offered. Buyers are
advised to view the Special Conditions and full legal documentation in
respect of the precise interest to be sold.
Each lot will be sold in accordance with the title documentation as the
location plans shown in the catalogue are for identification purposes
only. Interested applicants should make their own site inspections and
investigations with regard to the accuracy of all measurements given in
the catalogue.
VAT - Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to whether VAT
is chargeable on the price prior to the auction from the seller’s
solicitors.
Tenure - Freehold and vacant possession will be given on completion
unless otherwise stated.
The Guide Price is an indication of the seller’s current minimum
acceptable price at auction. It 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.
A guide price is different to a reserve price (see below). Both the guide
price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including
the day of the auction.
The Reserve Price 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. The ‘Reserve Price’
may exceed the ‘Guide Price’ listed. If so, it is customary for the ‘Reserve
Price’ to exceed the guide price by no more than 10%.
Purchaser's Administration Fee
The successful purchaser will be required to pay to the Auctioneers a
Purchaser's Administration Fee of £1,500 (including VAT) payable to
Symonds & Sampson. For purchases of £50,000 or less the
Administration fee will be £900 (£750 plus VAT). If two or more lots are
offered together in the first instance, or lots are purchased under one
contract, the administration fee will apply per lot and not per contract.
The charge will apply to lots bought prior to and post auction. In the
event of non-payment or underpayment a deduction will be made from
the deposit received. A VAT receipt will be issued in the name of the
buyer.
Disbursements
Please see the legal pack for any disbursements listed that may become
payable by the purchaser on completion.
