This pack is available to download to registered bidders. The conditions may also be inspected in the Sale Room at the time of the sale but they will not then be read. The purchaser shall be deemed to bid on those terms whether he shall have inspected the Conditions or not.
The sale of this property will take place on the stated date by way of a live, in-room auction and is being sold as Unconditional with a Fixed Fee. Some sellers may consider a pre-auction offer, and the Lot may be sold or withdrawn before the auction.

It is not necessarily the exact final sale price and is subject to change prior to and up until the day of the auction. Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single-figure guide. (RICS Common Auction Conditions 4th Edition).
