Condition Reports / Additional images

We are more than happy to provide Condition Reports and additional images to Prospective Buyers. We request that condition report and additional image requests are submitted at least 24 hours prior to the sale and advise your request be submitted as soon as possible to ensure our team can respond accordingly. Our Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion at M&M, not a statement of fact.

Inspection

Opportunity is given for inspection and each buyer that is making a bid for a lot acknowledges that they are satisfied themselves fully before bidding by inspection or otherwise to all the Sale Conditions, the physical conditions of the lot and description of the lot including and not restricted to whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored. All statements relating to the lot, whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact be M&M unless they have been instructed in writing by the vendor to so as to certify. We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report. We politely advise that Items are therefore sold as seen.

Agents

M&M act as agent and auctioneer only for the seller. M&M appoint the auctioneer to act on theirs and the seller’s behalf. When buying at auction, the sale contact is between the buyer and seller, not the agent nor auctioneer. Seller’s details are strictly confidential.

Online Bidding

We offer an online bidding service via our own platform - M&M Live at www.bid.mm-auctions.com. Items purchased via this platform will be subject to no additional charges. We also offer online bidding via www.the-saleroom.com and www.liveauctioneers.com for prospective buyers who cannot attend the sale. Items bought via these platform will be subject to an additional 5% commission charge on the buyer’s premium plus VAT.

All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the Prospective Buyer’s risk.

Collection of goods

You may book an appointment to collect goods. We politely ask you to ensure goods are collected within 6 months of the sale.

Despatch/Delivery

M&M use their own competitive in-house shipping service. Buyers however may appoint their own shipping agent where applicable. There will be a small charge for this service for us to prepare your items.

The legal title in a lot shall not pass to the buyer until the lot(s) has been paid for in full and the Auctioneers shall be entitled to rights on any lot sold until the purchase price is paid in full but each lot is at the sole risk of the buyer from the fall of the hammer. Each buyer shall give his full names and permanent address and if called upon to do so by the Auctioneer shall forthwith pay M&M Auctions Ltd such proportion of the purchase price as the Auctioneer may require. If the buyer fails to do so, the lot may at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion be put up again and re-sold.

Warranty of Title

The Vendor warrants to M&M Auctions Ltd and to the Buyer that he is the true owner of the Lot or is properly authorised by the true owner to sell the Lot and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any liens, charges or third party claims. When the Vendor is authorised by the true owner to sell the lot, the Vendor must name the owner and produce such written evidence of his authority as M&M Auctions Ltd may request.

The Vendor warrants to M&M Auctions Ltd, its servants and agents and the Buyer against any loss or damage suffered in consequence of any breach of the above on the part of the Vendor.

The Vendor warrants that all information supplied to M&M Auctions Ltd in connection with the Lot is accurate to the best of his knowledge, information and belief.
