The Auctioneers will not exceed the maximum bidding figure under any circumstances.

The instruction/registration to bid should be accompanied by a bank or building society draft (made payable to Regional Property Services Limited) representing 10% of the maximum bid price (plus the administration fee of £750). Alternatively, a bank transfer can be made into our Clients Account. If the bid price is £30,000 or less then the minimum deposit is £3,750 (including the £750 administration fee). If the bid price is less than £3,000 then the full purchase price (plus the £750 administration fee) is payable. Should the Lot be bought for less than the maximum bid price then the surplus of the deposit will be deducted from the balance due on completion.

In compliance with the Money Laundering Act all successful bidders are required to provide photographic identification and proof of address. All remote bidders should enclose copies of a photographic identity document such as a current passport or UK driving licence and a utility bill/council tax bill or building society/ bank statement/credit card statement or any other form of identity document (with the exception of a mobile phone bill) that has been issued within the last three months that provides evidence of residency at the correspondence address stated under the Buyers details overleaf.

Any bidders acting on behalf of another party will need to provide the documents detailed above for both themselves and the named Buyer, together with a valid letter of authority authorising you to bid on the Buyers behalf. Bidders acting on behalf of a company should provide the above documents for themselves together with a written authority from the company.

Completed bidding forms, accompanying drafts and proof of identity should be sealed inside the envelope provided, which should be clearly marked on the outside with the required information.

The sealed proxy bidding envelopes will not be opened by the Auctioneers until immediately prior to the Auction and the amount of any bid will not be disclosed to the Seller or the Auctioneer conducting the sale from the rostrum. Telephone and Internet Bidding forms will be opened in advance of the Auction as they require verification of the contact telephone number and authorisation for Internet Bidding, which needs to be made in advance by the Auctioneers to provide these services.

It will be assumed that a bid is to be made by telephone/internet if the method of bidding is not clearly indicated on the outside of the sealed envelope and, consequently, the envelope will be opened upon receipt. Bidding forms should be emailed to accounts@cliveemson.co.uk or posted/delivered by hand to Clive Emson Auctioneers Maidstone Office at least 72 hours before any sale, unless otherwise agreed. If sending the form and draft by Recorded Delivery then please allow extra time as this service will take longer than ordinary first class post.

If a bidder wishes to bid for more than one Lot then separate forms must be completed for each Lot, with the draft for the total deposits (including administration fees for each Lot) and the necessary proof of identity sealed inside the envelope depicting the first Lot Number for which you are bidding.

A proxy bid must be to an exact figure, ie, the wording “one hundred pounds over the highest bid in the room” would not be acceptable. The Auctioneer reserves the right not to bid on behalf of the telephone/proxy bidder should there be any error, confusion (either apparent or otherwise) in respect of the instructions or accompanying draft. The Auctioneers undertake not to “run” the bidding above the reserve and will bid on the bidder’s behalf against those present in the room (and against any other bids he may receive on that Lot) to the limit of their instructions/bid.

A remote bidder must appreciate that his/her offer is binding and that the Auctioneer has full legal power to sign the Contracts on behalf of the Buyer, providing for completion in accordance with the Special Conditions of Sale as applicable to that Lot.

The Auctioneers will make no charge to the Buyer for this service and will accept no liability whatsoever for a bid not being made, whether through late arrival or non-delivery of a bidders registration bidding form, failure to reach a telephone bidder from the Auction Room, lack of clarity of instructions or for any other reason whatsoever.
