CONDITION REPORTS

We kindly encourage buyers to attend our public viewing in person to assess the condition of the lots before placing any bids. However, if you are unable to attend, we would be happy to provide a condition report upon request. Please email your request to [email protected] or call us at 01751 431 544 with sufficient time prior to the sale.

ONLINE BIDDING

Live online bidding for our auctions is available through our website,  easyliveAuction.com and the-saleroom.com. This extends our reach well beyond the walls of our auction house, with registered users able to bid worldwide at the click of a mouse. These platforms also offer an absentee/autobid service.

Tips for online bidding:

• Register with the platform you want to use in advance of the sale
• Favourite the lots you want to bid on
• Do not wait to hear the auctioneer as there is sometimes an audio delay, follow the bidding onscreen
• Do not wait until the last second to bid as the hammer may go down before your bid is received

Please note there are additional fees to pay to use these live online bidding services. 

COMMISSION BIDS

A commission bid allows buyers to authorise the auctioneer to bid on their behalf up to a specified maximum amount. Absentee/commission bids can be left by calling our office on 01751 431 544.
