Important notice – Pre-registration approaval to bid, guide prices, reserves, additional charges and other matters

Pre-registration approval to bid
PS&B require all bidders who wish to bid at our Auctions to register beforehand. All checks required by current anti-money laundering legislation must be satisfactorily completed as part of this process before prior approval to bid will be given. Please use the links on our website to
pre-register.

Following approval to bid, the buyer named in your registration cannot be changed without consent (for which a charge might be made).

Guide Prices

1. A guide price (to include a range of prices), is not an indication of the anticipated eventual selling price or a valuation; it is an indication of the minimum price ( “the Reserve” ) at which (or range of prices within which) the seller might be prepared to sell. The eventual sale price can and frequently does, exceed the guide price.
2. Where a range is given, the Reserve will sit within that range and will not exceed the top end of the range. Where a single figure Guide Price is given, the Reserve will be within 10%, upwards or downwards, of that figure.
3. The guide price may be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. The latest published guide price (or range of prices) is displayed on our website and you should check the website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.
4. All guide prices are quoted “subject to contract”.
5. Please note the guide price for the Lot does not include:
   – any Buyers’ Fee charged by the auctioneers;
   – VAT on the sale price;
   – SOLT or any other Government taxes;
   – additional costs and fees charged by the seller or third parties that might apply to some Lots and/or some buyers.
6. If a guide price is listed as “TBA”, it means no guide price has been set at present. Please do not call our office about this – the guide price, or range of prices, will be published online immediately it becomes available and you should check the auction website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.

Reserve Prices
The reserve price is the minimum price at which the Lot can be sold.
