How to Bid
There are 3 main options of how to bid on the night of the auction: - in person, proxy bid and a telephone bid

In person – on arrival at the auction venue, all person interested in bidding must register at the foyer of the auction and obtain a bidders paddle.
Proxy bid – a purchaser who can not attend the auction may instruct in writing a member of Pattinson staff to bid on their behalf under the terms and conditions of the auction
Telephone bid – the interested bidder may bid over the telephone via a member of Pattinson staff under the relevant terms and conditions of auction

For any proxy or telephone bidders a remote bidding form must be completed by the bidder and keith pattinson must be in possession of cleared funds in respect to the deposit if the bidder is successful.

All bids are to be made clearly. The Auctioneer reserves the right to regulate bidding and to refuse undesirable bids. The vendor reserves the right to bid up to the reserve price or authorise the Auctioneer to do so. In the event of any dispute in respect to the auction, the Auctioneers decision is final.

Guide and Reserve Prices
All properties are advertised with a guide price. The guide price is intended to indicate an approximation of the minimum acceptable price. These guide prices should not be interpreted as asking prices and are purely for guidance. Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to contact Keith Pattinsons on 0845 1461582 to check availability of each lot prior to the auction sale. Whilst every effort is made to ensure guide prices are not misleading, it is possible that the reserve price set for an auction lot may exceed the quoted guide price. All properties, unless otherwise stated, are sold subject to a reserve price.
