BUYER’S PREMIUM
Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a 1.5% + VAT (1.8% inc VAT) min fee of £3000 + VAT (£3600 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.
GUIDE PRICE
The guide price is an estimate of the seller's minimum acceptable price at auction. It helps potential buyers decide whether to pursue a purchase. Typically, a provisional reserve price range is agreed upon between the seller and auctioneer at the start of marketing. Since the reserve price isn't fixed and can be adjusted up until the auction day, the guide price is issued. It may be presented as a price range or a single figure within 10% of the final reserve price. The guide price is different from the reserve price and can change up to the auction day.
RESERVE PRICE
The reserve price is the minimum amount the seller is willing to accept at auction. It is confidential between the seller and auctioneer and represents the lowest price at which the property can be sold. Please note that buyers CANNOT attend the surveys and the surveyors are responsible for collecting and returning keys to the Hills office in Worcester City Centre.
