No person shall advance less than £50 at each bidding except at the Auctioneer’s

rights under Condition VI or any other Condition of Sale) pay interest at the
rate of 12 per cent per annum until completion.
III The buyer shall appoint solicitors and have proper conveyances, assignments
or transfers of the lots prepared by and at the expense of the buyer but the
cost of approval on behalf of and execution by the seller and all other necessary
parties (if any) to be borne by the seller and on payment of the remainder of

the seller by the buyer.
IV The seller shall furnish within 7 days from the date of the sale of any lot,
at his own expense, an abstract of the documents under which the seller derives
title, subject to the special Conditions relating to each lot. If completion
is delayed by the wilful default or neglect of the seller, the buyer shall be
entitled to revoke the sale and will then be entitled to the return of the deposit
paid and payment by the seller of the buyer’s reasonable legal costs; the seller
will also be liable for the payment of the Auctioneers’ fees.
V If, through any mistake, a lot should be improperly described or if there
should be any error, omission or mis-statement in the Particulars not announced
at the Auction, such error omission or mis-statement shall not vitiate the sale
if the seller and buyer agree an amended value determined impartially by the
Auctioneer or otherwise. However, should the seller and buyer not agree an amended
value, the sale will be cancelled and the deposit returned to the buyer and,
if the seller so requires, the lot may be re-offered for sale in the next available
auction. Buyers must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of all details and
descriptions prior to completion as no adjustment to the purchase price will
be allowed for any discrepancies subsequently coming to light.
VI Should the buyer neglect or fail to comply with any of the above Conditions
or the Additional Conditions, the deposit money may be forfeited and the seller
shall be at full liberty to re-sell the property sold to such buyer either by
public or private sale and the deficiency (if any) arising by such second sale,
together with all charges attending the same shall be made good by the defaulter
at this present sale and be recoverable as liquidated damages and it shall not
be requisite for the seller previously to tender any assignment or conveyance
to such buyer.
VII The buyer and/or the seller acknowledge that the Auctioneer disclaims all
liability for the accuracy of the particulars of each lot and the buyer and/or
the seller shall have no claim against the Auctioneer in respect of any details,
descriptions and statements made.
In these Conditions, where the context so requires or admits, the singular shall
include the plural and vice versa and the masculine gender
shall include the feminine and where the expression “the seller” and/or “the
buyer” comprises two or more persons, the conditions imposed
on the seller and/or the buyer shall be deemed to be imposed on such persons
jointly and severally.
Notes: The estimated values and details given in these Particulars are merely
for the convenience of proposing Buyers and
although believed to be correct their accuracy is not guaranteed and they are
expressly excluded from any contract.
The Auctioneer acts on an execution-only basis.
This investment may not be suitable for everyone and if you have any doubt whether
it is suitable for you, you should obtain
expert advice.
The Deed of Assignment drawn up to transfer ownership of the policy will not
necessarily convey membership rights to the buyer
and this may affect future entitlements to “windfall” payments from the life
office.
In the event of the seller or his solicitor electing to sell and exchange contracts
by Private Treaty within four weeks of the Auction,
the Auctioneers claim to be paid commission as though they had been allowed
to pursue the negotiation and exchange contracts
which they are at all times willing to do without making any extra charge in
consideration of the same.
