Auction Conditions

Interested parties should view the auction pack for full details of all the conditions of sale. You can request the full auction pack from ourselves.

After Bidding At The Auction

On the night, immediately following the auction, the successful bidder will sit down with our client’s solicitor/conveyancer to go through and sign the contract and arrange with them payment of 10% deposit. The remaining monies must then be paid as soon as possible in order to complete the transaction within 28 days. You will also be expected to cover the cost of the searches.

Identification And Registration

Due to the recent changes in Money Laundering Regulations, auctioneers will now have to carry out checks on bidders, buyers and sellers. The hmrc guidance states “An auctioneer should carry out customer due diligence on a bidder before they receive a paddle and on the buyer before the hammer falls”.

Wm Sykes & Son will therefore now be registering prospective bidders prior to the auction where they will need to provide a form of photographic identification (driving licence, passport etc.) and a current utility bill or bank statement etc confirming your address. Registration will take place on the night of the auction between 6.30pm and 7.15pm. Any interested party wishing to bid in the auction must have registered. If you have any problems in doing this, please contact our office for further advice. The day after the auction the successful bidder will also need to carry out an electronic id verification via our third-party provider, Thirdfort.
