INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist customers, especially those who are inexperienced or new to our sales premises. All sales are made on the basis of our printed conditions of sale which are immediately available for review and usually accompany the catalogues. Our employees will be happy to help you if you don't fully understand something.

2. Agency. As auctioneers, we usually act as agents for sellers whose identity, due to confidentiality, is usually not disclosed. Therefore, if you are buying, your primary contract is with the seller.

3. Estimates. Appraisals are designed to help buyers estimate what amount might be involved in purchasing a particular property. Estimates do not include buyer's premium or VAT (if applicable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and are subject to change by pre-sale announcement. They are by no means final.

4. Buyer's premium. The terms of sale require buyers to pay a premium of 25% + VAT. (including 30%).

5. 'Subject to VAT' means that the buyer pays VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%) on the initial price and that this is an element of the buyer's premium. Items subject to VAT are highlighted both in the text of the catalog and in the sales area. This amount of VAT is likely to be due to the seller being VAT registered in the European Union and not operating under a trade markup scheme or due to VAT being payable at the rate of 20% on imports into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot was imported from outside the European Union and the current state of affairs is that these lots are subject to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross price of the lot (ie both the Hammer price and the buyer's premium). Lots appearing without any of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the Hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneer's Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included in the premium cannot be reclaimed as input tax.

6. We are primarily agents for the seller. We rely on the information provided by the seller and although we can inspect the lots and act reasonably to make an overall assessment of them, we are not usually able to undertake a detailed or any inspection of the lots. done to determine their condition in a way that would be careful for the customer. Potential buyers have ample opportunity to inspect the goods and therefore take responsibility for inspecting and examining the lots in which they are interested. Pay special attention to the exclusion of responsibility for the condition of the plots in the Terms of Sale. Neither the seller nor we as auctioneers take responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical items of any age are not guaranteed to be in good condition. However, to the extent that we have inspected the goods and made a statement as to their condition, we are responsible for any defect which should have been disclosed to the auctioneer in that inspection, but which would not have been disclosed to the buyer if the buyer had examined it. goods. In addition, lots that have been wrongly described as 'deliberate counterfeits' may be returned in special circumstances and may receive a refund. The deadline is 2 weeks. (The term 'deliberate counterfeiting' is defined in our terms of sale).

7. Electrical goods. These are only sold as 'vintage' and if bought for use should first be checked by a qualified electrician to be safe.

8. Export of goods. Buyers who intend to export goods should check (a) whether an export permit is required and (b) whether there is a specific ban on importing goods of a threatening nature, because e.g. may contain prohibited materials, such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.

9. Bidding. Bidders must register before the sale begins, and lots will be billed to the name and address on the registration form. If you are unknown to us, we may require some form of identification. Please inquire in advance about our telephone bidding arrangement.

10. Offers in the absence of the committee. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneer stating the maximum bid amount excluding the buyer's premium. They will be performed as cheaply as possible, taking into account the reserve (if any) and competitive offers. The auctioneer may, at its sole discretion, exceed your commission for a single bid on your behalf. Please inquire in advance by phone or fax about our arrangements for leaving commission offers.

11. Methods of payment. Payment is made through our online payment system through our website, by bank transfer or in person with chip and pin. Please note that we no longer accept payments over the phone.

12. Collection and storage. Pay attention to what is written in the Terms of Sale about collection and storage. It is important that the goods are paid for and collected quickly. Items not removed within four days of sale are subject to a storage fee of £1.50 per item per day.

14. "Artist's Right of Resale" All items marked with a red star (*) are subject to the artist's right of resale. As of mid-February 2006, living artists are entitled to resale royalties whenever their artwork is bought or sold by a professional in the art market. However, from January 1, 2012, the right will be extended to the sale of works by artists who have died in the past 70 years (after
existing copyright term). Royalties will be paid to the families and beneficiaries of those artists. This new law was introduced in the UK following a European directive. A work of art must reach or exceed a certain value before it qualifies for a right. The qualifying threshold in the UK is €1,000, which is approximately £850. Rates are calculated as a percentage of the sales price and are set on a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.
Part of the selling price Fee rate
From 1,000 to 50,000 euros 4%
From 50,000.01 to 200,000 euros 3%
It is an additional cost on top of the amount for which the artwork was purchased, excluding VAT. This is taken into account for auctions
as the starting price (without buyer's premium).
For more information see the Important Notice to Bidders posted on the sale premises or a full copy of the 'Artist Resale Rights Regulations 2006'. which is available upon request.
