Conditions Of Sale
The Conditions of Sale will be deposited at the offices of the auctioneers and vendor's solicitors seven days prior to sale and the purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of the same whether inspected or not.

The purchaser will also be deemed to have read and understood the auction conduct notes printed within the sale catalogue.
Health & Safety Advice for Property Viewers.
Whilst the auctioneers make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at lots, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of the lots in our auction and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers. All persons attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior grounds, outbuildings and boundaries. All unaccompanied inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers' risk.
Guide And Reserve Prices
Guide Price: An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices 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. 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.
Note
The auctioneers offer four ways to bid including Internet, telephone, proxy, and live room bidding. Prospective purchasers will need to register to bid and pay a holding deposit before the sale commences by registering at Barnard Marcus Auctions website. We do not take credit card or cash deposits. The sale of each lot is subject to a documentation charge of £1,800 (including vat) payable on the fall of the hammer.
Guidance notes are set out in the catalogue in relation to auction lots, particularly from a purchasing perspective.
Agents Note
The property has been extensively damaged due to the fire and no internal inspections of the property are possible. However, viewings of the site can be arranged through William H Brown in Boston.
Agent Note
