LANDLES AUCTIONEERS 1856 - CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. All lots are sold subject to these important notices and the conditions of sale set out in the catalogue. Additional copies are available at our auction rooms upon request.

2. These important notices and conditions of sale may be varied by notices posted at the sale at our auction rooms or by announcements made by the auctioneer.

3. These important notices together with the conditions of sale are the legal basis on which you transact for the purchase of goods at our auctions and engage with Landles Auctioneers 1856 Ltd. Please ask one of the Partners of the firm for an explanation of any terms that you do not understand.

LOTS
4. The items sold at our auctions are generally of some age. Accordingly lots are sold on an “as is” basis subject to all faults, imperfections and areas of description. Illustrations and photographs contained in the catalogue or elsewhere of any lots are for identification purposes only. They may not, of course, reveal the true condition of the lot and a photograph may not reflect an accurate reproduction of any colour of a lot. You are therefore strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to a sale as it is your responsibility to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of the lot.

5. Any lots that were originally operated by mains electricity may not comply with current statutory requirements and as such are offered for a sale solely for display or historical purposes. You should not assume they are suitable for connection to the mains electrical supply and you must ensure that any such items are checked by a qualified electrician before use.

6. Any person who damages a lot will be held liable for the loss caused.

7. Neither we nor the seller are liable for any error or mis-statement in or omission from the description of a lot. Any statement made by or on behalf of us is an expression of opinion and should not be relied upon by bidder or buyer.

ESTIMATES
8. In most cases the estimated selling price of each lot is printed with the lot description. The estimate does not include the buyer’s premium (or VAT if applicable). Estimates are prepared in advance of a sale and are not definitive and are subject to revision.

CONDITION REPORTS
9. Where possible we are able to provide a report on the physical condition of most lots. In providing a condition report we are not entering into a contract with you and accordingly assume no responsibility in respect of the report. Neither we nor the seller are liable for any error or mis-statement or omission from the description of a lot contained in a condition report. Any statements contained in our report are expressions of our opinion and are not statements of fact. Such statements do not imply any basis of fact upon which the opinion may be founded. Notwithstanding a condition report we always strongly urge you to inspect the lot yourself and consult an independent professional restorer, etc., to satisfy yourself as to the condition of a lot. In the event of a successful bid in relation to the lot you will have purchased the lot with no reliance on a condition report.
