The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether 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. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.RESERVE PRICEThe 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.PRE AUCTION OFFERSSome vendors are willing to consider offers prior to the auction.Pre auction offers can ONLY be submitted by completing the online PRE AUCTION OFFER FORMThe form can be found on the Hollis Morgan website on the individual auction property listing.Please note offers will not be considered until you have inspected the COMPLETE LEGAL PACK once it has been released.There will be a note added to the list to confirm AUCTION PACK NOW COMPLETE when our client s solicitor informs us no further information is due to be added.In the event of an offer being accepted the property will only be removed from the online auction and viewings stopped once contracts have successfully EXCHANGED subject to the standard auction terms and payment of the buyer s premium (?1,800 Inclusive of VAT) to Hollis Morgan.Contracts can be exchanged via the solicitors or at the Hollis Morgan offices by appointment only.REGISTRATION PROCESSThe registration process is extremely simple visit the Hollis Morgan auction website and click on the Register to Bid button.The Register to Bid button can be found on the auction home page or on the individual lot listings.Please note this function is not available on Rightmove or Zoopla.Stage 1 Complete the Online Bidding FormStage 2 Upload your certified IDStage 3 Invitation to bidStage 4 Pay your security deposit (?6,800)You are now ready to bid Good luck!If your bid is successful, the balance of the deposit monies must be transferred to our client account within 24 hours of the auction sale.If you are unsuccessful at the auction your holding deposit will be returned within 48 hours.SURVEYS AND VALUATIONSIf you would like to arrange a survey or mortgage valuation of this Lot BEFORE the auction, please instruct your appointed surveyor to contact Hollis Morgan and we will arrange access for them to inspect the property.
