Bidder Registration
In order to bid you will be required to provide proof of identification, proof of address and source of funds before being authorised to bid.
We will also take a hold on funds from your debit or credit card of £5,000 before you can bid.
Please see our Online Bidding and Registration Guide for further information, but note that as soon as you enter your debit or credit card, the hold on funds will be taken and this amount on your card will be "reserved" for this potential transaction and the amount will be deducted from the balance of your bank account.
We recommend you enter your debit or credit card from 7 days before the auction date, to avoid the £5,000 payment being processed and the funds being "reserved" and held by our Sagepay provider unnecessarily.
It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure that they have adequate funds in their bank account so that the initial hold on funds can be taken and reserved by our Company (or agent) so that this does not impact on their immediate banking responsibilities. Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) or our agent will not be held responsible for any banking fees that may arise from any party once a hold on funds has taken place. Please contact the auction team for further information if required.
Registration for bidding will close at 5:00 pm on 12 June 2018, after which we cannot guarantee giving you permission to bid at the auction.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
