The bidder security amount will be clearly displayed when registering your card.
On the fall of the electronic gavel, the winning bidder's card will be automatically debited for the bidder security amount, whilst all the unsuccessful bidder's cards will have their shadow payments released (this can take several days depending on the card provider).

Due Diligence - RECOMMENDED DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE BIDDING

In general terms, you are strongly advised to view the property and take professional advice as to its condition and suitability. You should also ensure that you thoroughly read and understand the legal pack and any other associated documentation available online and take proper legal advice accordingly. Finally, understand the contract you are entering into and the financial commitment that you will be liable for should you be the successful purchaser.

Guides & Reserves - UNDERSTAND THE GUIDE PRICE AND RESERVE PRICE

What is a Guide Price?
A Guide Price is an indication as to where the Reserve is currently set. It is not necessarily what the auctioneer expects to sell the lot for and should not be taken as a valuation or estimate of sale price. The reserve will not exceed the Guide Price by more than 10% if it is a single figure Guide price, and if a Guide Price range is quoted, the Reserve will fall within that range.

Bidding - STRESS-FREE BIDDING FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME

When the auction opens, you will be able to place bids in line with the pre-determined bid increment levels, using the bid increase (+) and decrease () buttons provided. Having set your preferred bid amount and clicking the Place Bid' button, you will be asked to confirm your bid at which point it will be placed.
Every time you submit a bid you will be clearly shown whether your bid was successful, and a full list of all bids is displayed on-screen at all times.

Proxy Bids - Maximum (proxy) bids:
You are not restricted to placing a bid at the minimum bid amount but can instead increase your bid and place a maximum (proxy) bid in the system. By setting a maximum bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your maximum bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.

How proxy bids work with the reserve price:
Virtually every lot is sold subject to a reserve price (the minimum price that the auctioneer is authorised to sell for on the day). When you submit a maximum bid, the actual bid placed by the system will depend on where the reserve price is in relation to your maximum bid, as defined below.

If your maximum bid is below the reserve price
- The system will place an immediate bid at your maximum bid amount.

If your maximum bid is at or above the reserve price
- The system will automatically increase your bid to be at the reserve and will only bid again on your behalf if you are subsequently outbid by another bidder (up to your maximum bid amount).
- If another bidder has already placed the same maximum bid or higher, they will be the highest bidder at you max bid level and the system will notify you via email so you can place another bid.

Your maximum bid is kept completely confidential it's presence or amount are not disclosed to the auctioneer, vendor or any other bidder

Fall Of The Gavel - FALL OF LEGAL POSITION WHEN YOU'VE WON THE AUCTION

We offer property for sale by immediate, unconditional contract. This means that the fall of the electronic gavel constitutes an exchange of contracts between the buyer and seller. Both parties are legally bound to complete the transaction usually within 28 days following the close of the auction but this will be confirmed within the legal documentation.

Post Auction - WE'LL GUIDE YOU THROUGH TO COMPLETION

If you are the successful purchaser, we'll be in touch following the online auction to discuss the next steps. The system will take the bidder security amount from your registered credit or debit card (all underbidders will have their hold on funds released); the contract will then be signed on your behalf with copies being sent to both your solicitor and the seller's solicitor and the successful purchaser will be required to transfer a 10% deposit to the auctioneer, or as directed.

Payment Explained - PAYMENTS HOW THE PAYMENT REGISTRATION WORKS

In order to bid online you are required to submit details of a credit or debit card. When you register your card, we will be placing a hold on funds on your credit card (or bank account if you use a debit card), to the value of the bidder security deposit. This means that the amount we're holding will affect the available amount you have to spend on your card, as the amount will be ring-fenced and you will not be able to spend it until the hold has been released.
