Make sure you check the addendums list to ensure this lot has not been withdrawn or sold prior to the auction, postponed until a later auction date, or any last minute changes have been made to the catalogue entries. It is recommended to arrive early as the auction room can be very busy with limited space, and if you wish to bid, you should make sure you registered to bid and then are in clear view of the Auctioneer's rostrum. If you have any questions, make sure to ask one of the A&G team before the start of the auction. Ensure you make it clear when you wish to bid on a lot, either by raising your hand, holding up a catalogue, or by raising your bidders paddle.

Successful Bids

If you are the winning bidder, you will need to complete the Memorandum of Sale and pay your deposit and administration fee. You will need to have two forms of ID with you; one photographic (e.g. driving licence or passport), and one proof of address (e.g. utility bill dated in the last three months). If multiple people are to be named on the memorandum, you will need ID for all parties. If a property fails to reach its reserve and it is not sold in the room, you can speak with a member of the A&G team to express an interest. It may be possible to negotiate a sale after the auction, which would then still proceed under normal auction rules.
