Important Notice
Symonds & Sampson LLP and their Clients give notice that:
1. They have no authority to make or give any representations or warranties in
relation to the property. These particulars do not form part of any offer or contract
and must not be relied upon as statements or representations of fact.
2. Any areas, measurements or distances are approximate. The text, photographs
and plans are for guidance only and are not necessarily comprehensive. It
should not be assumed that the properties have all necessary Planning, Building
Regulation or other consents, and Symonds & Sampson LLP have not tested any
services, equipment or facilities. Purchasers must satisfy themselves by inspection
or otherwise.
3. This catalogue contains details about properties being sold at auction. The
vendors reserve the right to sell their properties prior to auction and these details
can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. Please
check our website regularly at: www.symondsandsampson.co.uk and look out
for any additional materials available on the day of the auction, in order to ensure
you have all the up to date information.
4. The Guide Price is an indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price
at auction. It is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue
a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is
agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the
reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time
up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing
period, a guide price is issued. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see
below). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up
to and including the day of the auction.
Reserve Price is the seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure
below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and
remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price
and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of
the auction.

bring to the auction one of the following: driving licence, passport or utility bill.
