A charge of 1.5% of the hammer price (excl. VAT) per lot will be levied to vendors to cover Insurance and the provision of overnight security in the saleroom. Please note we do not package or post items purchased at auction from our sales and items remain the sole responsibility of the purchaser (buyer) at the fall of the hammer. All collections, transit and delivery contracts entered into by the purchaser (buyer) remain the sole responsibility of the purchaser (buyer) and we as auctioneers (agents) accept no liability for loss or damage however or wherever caused post sale.
