CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. The highest bidder for each lot shall be the Purchaser and, in the event of any dispute, the Auctioneers shall have absolute

discretion either to settle such dispute or to re-offer the lot immediately.

2. No person may advance less at a bid than a sum to be named from time to time by the Auctioneer, nor shall any bidding be

retracted. The Auctioneer may, without giving any reason therefor, refuse to accept the bidding of any person or persons.

3. All lots are put up for sale subject to any reserve price placed by the Vendors, who may bid for any lot or lots, and may

withdraw any lot or lots, either personally or through the Auctioneer or through any other person, as many times as they

respectively may think fit.

4. Each Purchaser shall give his or her name and address in writing (if required) to the Auctioneer at the Sale and pay the full

purchase money at the close of the Sale or, if required, the whole or a portion of the purchase money, as the Auctioneer may

determine, during the course of the Sale. If any Purchaser fails to comply with any of these conditions the lot or lots in

respect of which such failure is made may, if the Auctioneer thinks fit, be put up again and resold. If upon such resale a lower

price is obtained for any such lot or lots than was obtained on the first sale the difference in price shall be a debt due from

the Purchaser in default upon the first sale.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Purchasers paying by cheque must be prepared, if required, to produce a banker’s reference. The Auctioneers reserve the

right in their sole discretion to refuse payment by cheque.

9. In all cases of transfer the original Purchaser shall be held responsible for the purchase money.

10. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw or divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion and

to sell in such order as he may think fit.

11. The Auctioneers have described the lots to the best of their ability and belief from information furnished by the Vendors who

shall be alone responsible for any error or mis-statement, which there may be. The Auctioneers undertake no liability whatever

in respect of any faults, deficiencies and errors of any description, oral or printed, nor do they accept responsibility for the

authenticity, genuineness, origin, age, condition or quality of any lot and all statements as to these matters whether contained

in the catalogue or made orally are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying a statement or

representation of fact. Any intending Purchaser must satisfy himself by inspection or otherwise as to the correctness of

each such statement. The Vendor does not make or give and neither the Auctioneers, nor any person in their employ, have

any authority to make or give any representation or warranty in relation to any of the lots without the express instructions of

the Vendor(s).

12. The Auctioneers accept no responsibility in connection with the commissioning of their staff to bid for any lots. Reserves and

commissions given verbally or by telephone are accepted at the sender’s risk and must be confirmed in writing before the

Sale.

13. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY. All persons on the Auctioneers’ premises before, during or after the Sale shall be deemed to be

there at their own risk and with notice of the condition of the premises and of the method of arranging lots and shall have

no claim against the Auctioneers in respect of any injury or accident which may occur from any cause whatsoever.

14. If any Purchaser shall fail to comply with the above conditions or any of them, the Auctioneers shall be at liberty to recover

in full the amount of the purchase money of the lot or lots bought by such Purchaser together with all interest, costs, charges

and expenses, without reference to any delivery or acceptance of the lot or lots, other than the first delivery by the fall of the

hammer, or to resell any lot or lots bought by such Purchasers, either by public or private sale, and the full amount of the

purchase money at the present sale, or the deficiency (if any) arising from the second sale, together with all interest, costs,

charges and expenses, shall be made good by the defaulter and be recoverable as and for liquidated damages.

premises.

 

 

SALE NOTES

 

THE SALE WILL BE HELD under the usual Conditions of Sale, which are to be found at the end of this catalogue. In particular, descriptions made verbally or in this catalogue are not guaranteed, including sizes of harness and vehicles.

 

 

 

VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS Lots will be on view from 8.00am on the day of the sale. The majority of horse-drawn vehicles should be in the market prior to sale day, but most vendors bring smaller items early on the morning of the auction. Tuesday is not officially a viewing day but prospective purchasers are welcome to inspect vehicles, although we cannot guarantee the time of their arrival.

 

 

 

WITHDRAWN OR NOT FORWARD LOTS Despite our best endeavours to ensure that all lots catalogued come forward for sale we are at the mercy of individual vendors some of whom regrettably do not always send the lots entered. This inevitably causes frustration and annoyance to prospective customers who may have travelled long distances for a particular lot. To avoid such disappointment, we recommend that you make a phone call to check the availability for any particular “one off” lot before setting out.

 

 

 

BUYERS’ NUMBERS All prospective purchasers are requested to register with the Auctioneers prior to the sale when they will be given a Buyer’s Number to enable bidding and assist the cashiering arrangements. The Auctioneers reserve the right to request a deposit of £500 from customers not known to them upon registration.

 

 

 

MONEY LAUNDERING In order to comply with money laundering regulations we will not accept payments in cash exceeding £9,000. Cash payments of over £4,000 must be accompanied by valid proof of identity ie passport/driving licence supported by 2 utility bills, bank statement or equivalent.

 

 

 

PAYMENT All lots must be paid for on the day of sale and methods of payment are: CASH (see below), DEBIT CARD or BACS/CHAPS – bank details as follows: NATWEST Bank: account number 95544070 and sort code: 60:17:21. (IBAN NO GB66 NWBK 601721 95 5440 70, BIC Code No. NWBK GB 2L). (CREDIT CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED) No clearance of purchases will be allowed until satisfactory payment has been received.

 

 

 

A BUYERS’ PREMIUM of 9% (incl. VAT) will be added to the purchase price of all lots at this sale.

 

INTERNET CHARGE of 5.94% (incl. VAT) will be added to the purchae price of all lots bought online.  This is in addition to the Buyers' Premium.

 

VALUE ADDED TAX All items consigned by VAT registered vendors are indicated by a ‘V’ before the lot numbers, and VAT at

 

the standard rate will be added to purchasers’ accounts in respect of these lots. No VAT will be payable upon items consigned by unregistered vendors. Any known variation in the VAT status of vendors will be announced by the Auctioneers when selling.

 

 

CLEARANCE All lots should be cleared on the day of sale, unless alternative arrangements are made, and are at the risk of the purchaser from the fall of the hammer.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BID will be executed with care and judgment by the Auctioneers. Clients who are interested in lots which are due to be offered in more than one section of the sale at the same time are reminded of this free service.

 

 

 

PRIVATE SALES All lots are accepted on the understanding that they must not be sold prior to being auctioned, and any private transactions resulting from the exposure for sale of any items must be conducted through the Auctioneers.

 

 

 

INSURANCE Carriage House Insurance Services and the National Farmers Union can affect transit and longer term insurances, which have been devised for carriage owners and drivers.

 

 

 

EXPORT PURCHASERS should ensure in advance that the country of destination has no import restrictions on the goods they wish to purchase, as our normal terms of business apply and payment in full is due on the day of sale. VAT will be charged

 

in the normal way and refunded on proof of exportation. In addition, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to comply with export

 

regulations and to obtain any relevant export licence, which is issued by the Arts Council England. Without prejudice and purely as a guide, it appears that for horse-drawn vehicles over 50 years old the value limit for export within the EU is £65,000 and outside the EU for vehicles over 75 years it is £39,219. Vehicles with values in excess of these limits may require an export licence.

 

THE CONSUMER PROTECTION FROM UNFAIR TRADING REGULATIONS 2008: All goods at this auction are second hand unless otherwise stated.
