SALE NOTES
THE SALE WILL BE HELD under the usual Conditions of Sale, which are to be found at the end of this catalogue. In particular, descriptions made verbally or in this catalogue are not
guaranteed, including sizes of harness and vehicles.
VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS All lots will be on view up to and during the auction on the day of sale. Horse-drawn carriages should be in the Market prior to sale day, but most
vendors prefer to bring their smaller items early in the morning of the auction. Tuesday is not officially a viewing day but prospective purchasers are welcome to inspect vehicles,
although we cannot guarantee the time of their arrival.
WITHDRAWN OR NOT FORWARD LOTS Despite our best endeavours to ensure that all lots catalogued come forward for sale we are at the mercy of individual vendors some of
whom regrettably do not always send the lots entered. This inevitably causes frustration and annoyance to prospective customers who may have travelled long distances for a
particular lot. To avoid such disappointment we recommend that you make a phone call to check the availability to any particular “one off” lot before setting out.
BUYERS’ NUMBERS All prospective purchasers are requested to register with the Auctioneers prior to the sale when they will be given a Buyer’s Number to enable bidding and
assist the cashiering arrangements. The Auctioneers reserve the right to request a deposit of £500 from customers not known to them upon registration.

clearance of purchases will be allowed until satisfactory payment has been received.
A BUYERS’ PREMIUM of 7.5% (plus VAT at the standard rate) will be added to the purchase price of all lots at this sale.
VALUE ADDED TAX All items consigned by VAT registered vendors are indicated by an asterisk (*), alongside the lot numbers, and VAT at the standard rate will be added to
purchasers’ accounts in respect of these lots. No VAT will be payable upon the items consigned by unregistered vendors. Any known variation in the VAT status of vendors will
be announced by the Auctioneers when selling.
CLEARANCE All lots should be cleared on the day of sale, unless alternative arrangements are made, and remain at the risk of the purchaser from the fall of the hammer.
INSTRUCTIONS TO BID will be executed with care and judgment by the Auctioneers. Clients who are interested in lots which are due to be offered in more than one section of the
sale at the same time are reminded of this free service.
PRIVATE SALES All lots are accepted on the understanding that they must not be sold prior to being auctioned, and any private transactions resulting from the exposure for sale of
any items must be conducted through the Auctioneers.
INSURANCE Carriage House Insurance Services and the National Farmers Union can effect transit and longer term insurances, which have been devised for carriage owners and drivers.
EXPORT PURCHASERS should ensure that the country of destination has no import or currency restrictions on the goods they wish to purchase. Our normal terms of business
otherwise apply and payment is due in full on the day of sale. VAT will be charged in the normal way and refunded on proof of exportation. A specific Export License is required
