ALL LOTS ARE SOLD AS SEEN.

Customers unable to view in person are strongly advised to request a condition report, these must be received on at least the day prior to sale to allow enough time for our Valuers to inspect the lot and reply to you.

If you are unsure about anything regarding a lot you are interested in DO NOT BID!
 
This especially includes condition, size, age, description, and how you can get it delivered or collected. Always ask in the viewing days prior to the sale, we will normally be able to answer every email or telephone query providing they are received at least one day prior to the Sale Date. We cannot answer condition report queries on the Sale Day.
 
If you have not inspected a lot in person then be aware that you may be making false assumptions, hoping it is better that it might be, or hoping that we can just 'pop it in the post', this will not be the case! Please bid carefully and be aware you bid at your own risk unless you are sure.
 
No refunds will be given if you change your mind later!

This service however is undertaken entirely at the buyer's risk, whilst we endeavour to pack items as well as we can, we will NOT be held responsible for any damage or loss to items sent. By paying for our in house packing and shipping service the buyer agrees that any items sent are entirely at the buyer's risk and that NO compensation can be offered for any loss or damage.

Man & Van Options

For many larger items, including pictures, larger group lots and all furniture, it would likely be appropriate to use a Man & Van service - we have many helpful contacts having dealt with a large number of couriers over the years and would be happy to provide some contact details of an appropriate company.
