Auctioneers Additional Comments

The advertised price is commonly referred to as a Starting Bid or Guide Price and is accompanied by a Reserve Price. The Reserve Price is confidential to the seller and The Auctioneer and will typically be within a range above or below 10% of the Guide Price or Starting Bid. These prices are subject to change.

Auctioneers Additional Comments

In order to secure the property and ensure commitment from the seller, upon exchange of contracts the successful bidder will be expected to pay a non-refundable deposit equivalent to 5% of the purchase price. The deposit will form part of the purchase price. A non-refundable reservation fee of up to 6% inc VAT (subject to a minimum fee which could be up to 7,200 inc VAT) is also payable upon agreement of sale.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
