Selling at Auction

Our Charges

Commission

16% of the hammer price on each lot up to and including £2,000 and 11% on the balance thereafter in all sales. A minimum of £10 per lot is charged on all lots sold. All items are insured whilst on the premises subject to our Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale. All commission/charges are subject to VAT at the standard rate.

 

Withdrawal Fee

The fee for withdrawing items prior to the sale is 16% or £10 whichever is the greater of the lower auction estimate or reserve if higher.

 

Unsold items

In the event a lot does not sell, it can usually be re-offered in a future sale. As a rule all re-offered lots will be at half the original estimate, any unsold lots which are not re-offered must be collected within 10 days of the auction or a charge of £5 per lot per day will be charged for storage. Any unsold lots that are not re-offered or collected after 14 days will be released to a charity of our choosing.
