OVERSEAS PURCHASERS

We will do our utmost to assist with the new post Brexit export regulations. We are aware that the new requirement for customs declarations when purchasing goods from our UK sales and exporting to the EU is complex. All export buyers must contact us prior to purchasing to clarify what extra information you will require. We will prove our EORI number on all export invoices and can arrange customs declarations at cost. We are signed up with Customs Clearance Agents who will assist us with relevant declarations to enable equipment to leave England. The purchaser is responsible for all transportation from there onwards.

Should ensure that the country of destination has no import or currency restrictions on the goods you wish to purchase. Our normal terms of business otherwise apply and payment is due in full on the day of sale. Please note that all new overseas customers will be required to pay a VAT deposit.

Please note: Some sales require a deposit. Please see auction information for more details.
1. 1. At the fall of the hammer, closing of the tender sale or the on-line lot closing time, the highest acceptable bid for each lot shall be the Purchaser and, in the event of any dispute, the Auctioneers shall have absolute discretion to settle such dispute.
2. 2. All lots are put up for sale subject to any reserve price placed by the Vendors
3. 3. All intending bidders at on-line or tender sales must register with the Auctioneers prior to placing a bid. All intending bidders must make prior arrangements regarding method of payment before attending or participating in a sale.
4. 4. No lot or lots shall be removed from the premises until paid for, but each and every lot shall immediately at the fall of the hammer be considered as delivered and be and remain in every respect at the absolute risk of the respective Purchaser or Purchasers thereof, and shall be removed at the Purchaser's expense after the conclusion of the Sale and taken with all faults or errors of description.
5. 5. The Auctioneers act only as agents for the Vendor(s) and are not responsible for any default by either Vendor(s) or Purchaser. In particular, they shall not be liable to pay the Vendor until payment is received from the Purchaser.
6. 6. No undertaking of the Auctioneers or their employees to take charge of any lots after the sale or to forward them to their destination shall be held to impose upon the Auctioneers any legal obligation or vitiate any of the foregoing conditions.
7. 7. In all cases of transfer the original Purchaser shall be held responsible for the purchase money.
8. 8. The Auctioneers have described the lots to the best of their ability and belief, but any statement made either in advertisements, catalogues, on-line description, photograph or other publicity are those of opinion only and are made without responsibility and shall not give rise to any action in law for damages or compensation or rescission of sale by a purchaser against the Vendor, the Auctioneers or their employees. All electrical or mechanical items are sold as un-tested, without warranties or any guarantees as to serviceability, working order or fit for purpose.
9. 9. Many lots offered for sale on-line are by reason of age or nature, not in first class condition. Some descriptions may refer to damage or restoration but the omission of such a statement does not imply that a lot may be free of damage or has been restored. Therefore all purchasers must satisfy themselves by physical inspection prior to making a bid as to the origin, authenticity, quality, quantity, weight, size and general description of each lot as all lots are sold “as seen” with all faults whether declared or not.
