The eventual sale price can and frequently does, exceed the guide price.

Where a range is given, the Reserve will sit within that range and will not exceed the top end of the range. Where a single figure Guide Price is given, the Reserve will be within 10%, upwards or downwards, of that figure.

The guide price may be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. The latest published guide price (or range of prices) is displayed on our website, and you should check the website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.
