4. BINDING CONTRACT The successful bidder is bound under Contract as soon as the Auctioneers hammer falls on the final bid and will be required to pay the deposit and sign and exchange the Sale Memorandum prior to leaving the saleroom in accordance with the Common Auction Conditions.

8. GUIDE PRICES & RESERVES Pre-auction guide prices are based upon the initial anticipation of the sale price of the property at Auction.

Prospective purchasers should be aware that guide prices are subject to change and are advised to check any amendments with the Auctioneers prior to the Auction.

9. PLANS, MEASUREMENTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS All plans, measurements and photographs included in this catalogue are provided for identification purposes only and to assist prospective purchasers in identifying the location of the property.

Site measurements may not have been scaled from original plans and therefore should be assumed to be only approximate.

Prospective purchasers should make their own investigations and site inspections, and satisfy themselves on the accuracy of all measurements. All plans, measurements and photo-graphs included in the catalogue or disclosed by the Auctioneers (either verbally or in writing) are expressly excluded from the contract of the sale.

Buyers will be bound under contract to purchase the property on the fall of the auctioneers hammer and it is advised that a prudent buyer will take professional advice from a solicitor and, in appropriate cases a chartered surveyor and accountant.

They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction.
