Please be
assured that at Pearsons Auctions, we make every effort to ensure that the
exchange and completion of your Auction Sale, goes to plan.
It is
essential however, that as a buyer you fully understand your legal obligations
when buying at Auction as opposed to the ‘Private Treaty’ method of sale.
Upon the
fall of the ‘Gavel’ you enter into a legally binding contract, with a
formal exchange of contracts taking place and a completion date to follow 20
working days later. On Auction Day itself, you will be required to pay a
non-refundable 10% deposit along with an Auction Admin Fee (£600.00 inclusive
of VAT). You must ensure that you will have access to all the funds required to
complete the purchase on the agreed date as set out in the Auction
Conditions of Sale.
Before
committing to an Auction Sale, buyers must satisfy themselves, that all
enquiries and ‘due diligence’ checks have been undertaken, this includes
receiving approval of the Legal Pack, from your Legal Representative.
The
responsibility to complete lies solely with the buyer, therefore, any Surveys
required to ensure ‘peace of mind’ or for ensuring funds are in place to
complete the purchase, should be done well in advance.
Please note
that any abortive sales may result in loss of deposit, Auction Admin Fees and
any associated Legal Charges.

are any questions about the Auction process in general, then please contact us
