Leighton Hall Auctions offer an in-house post and packing service for most items that are sold through our auctions. The minimum charge applied for our services will be £12.50 plus VAT (UK) and will depend on the weight, size, quantity and nature of the items that need to be posted. We aren’t professional packers but have experience of posting a range of items to both domestic and international destinations. We cant take responsibility for any parcels if they have been lost or broken if they aren’t insured. If any import tax or duty needs to be paid, then this will become the buyer's responsibility to pay.

Postage needs to be arranged and paid for no later than 5 working days after the auction. Parcels will be sent as soon as possible but take up to 2 weeks after payment has cleared to be dispatched.

For ALL international postage enquiries, please contact us prior to bidding.

All items will be sent using a tracked service and the recipient will assume full responsibility when it leaves our saleroom. Insurance can be purchased by the buyer at a cost of 5% + VAT of the hammer price. If not insured, then we will not accept responsibility for the parcel(s) should they arrive damaged or get lost in transit.

For larger items, we cant offer postage, however, we do work closely with a range of couriers who can offer their services. Please contact us for details.

Alternatively, you can arrange your own postage or collection but please notify us of your arrangements.

If you are planning to collect your items in person, please ensure you contact us prior to arrange a date and time to collect your lots to ensure we have them for you. Please note, the lots are securely stored off-site so we need advanced warning to ensure we have them at our premises ready for you to pick up!

Important Information

Leighton Hall Auctions LTD are extremely proud to present their catalogue for their ONLINE-ONLY sale at 10am on Saturday 18th June 2022.

The sale will consist of over 540 lots to include a good range of antiques and collectables including Pottery, Gold and Silver Jewellery, Furniture, Silver and various other antiques too! Our June auction is also our Specialist Sale of Gold, Silver and Jewellery with a great collection of watches, a heavy gold charm bracelet and a gold pendant featuring as the highlights!

We are now accepting lots for future auctions in 2022 and we offer free no-obligation auction valuations too! Our catalogues are advertised across the globe to gain your items maximum exposure! Please do get in touch for further information. We are holding a Specialist Sale of Gold, Silver and Jewellery in September and we are offering a 0% sellers' commission on all gold coins entered into the auction.

People have been asking when we shall start having auctions with people in the room as well as online! This is something we, as a company, are eager to start however we don't currently have the facility to do so at this present time due not being able to find suitable premises! We are looking to hold viewing days and in-person auctions as soon as we are able and will hopefully update you once we have found a suitable venue.

The sale is purely ONLINE-ONLY with LIVE online bidding accepted through our own website (www.leightonhallauctions.com), Easylive Auctions and The-Saleroom, whilst phone and absentee bids are gratefully accepted too until 5:30pm on the Friday before the auction! Buyer's Premium is charged at 20% plus VAT (24% VAT inclusive) which is payable on top of the hammer price for every lot unless otherwise stated. Bidding online also incurs an extra charge depending on which platform and option you choose.

Each lot has a full description complimented with at least one picture and in most instances, an accompanying condition report too, which are completed to the best of our ability but should be used as an indication only. If you require further information about a lot's condition, then please don't hesitate to contact us!

Leighton Hall Auctions offers an in-house Postage and Packing facility so please contact us should you have any queries relating to that. Please see our shipping policy for any other queries. We can also assist by recommending couriers for those larger items or ones that aren't suitable for posting.

Collections of purchased lots are welcomed, however, these must also be paid for in advance and pre-arranged due to the lots being stored securely off-site to ensure we can have the lots here for you to collect without any problems. Collections are to be made from Tuesday to Friday in the week following the sale from 8AM until 5PM. All lots must be paid for and collected/ posted arranged 5 working days after the auction, unless otherwise agreed prior to the auction. If goods aren't collected within 5 days of the auction, then a storage charge of £1 per day per lot will be added as we sadly can't continue to offer free storage. If you have difficulty to collect within 5 days, then please speak to us and we will be more than happy to help where we can!

Please contact us before arriving at our premises to ensure someone is around to help you and ensure we can ensure your lots are onsite, and not in our storage facility offsite.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our office at any point during normal working hours! Please note, it is unlikely we will be able to answer the phone on sale day due to being occupied with the sale. We shall be available from Monday to Friday everyday otherwise from 9AM until 5PM.

We hope you enjoy looking through the catalogue and we all look forward to dealing with you!

Best wishes,

Toby Hall

Auctioneer/ Managing Director

1. Lots will be purchased by the Auctioneer on behalf of the absentee bidder for the lowest price allowed by other bids and/or reserves if any, up to and including their maximum bid amount recorded. The Auctioneers cannot accept responsibility for any neglect or default in executing or failing to execute absentee bids whether through the auctioneer or through any online bidding software, or where a bidding slip has been completed incorrectly. We urge absentee bidders, to ensure that the correct lot number(s) and price(s) are recorded on their bidding forms. 

2. Where two or more absentee bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. 

3. Telephone Bids. Any person unable to attend the auction may request to bid on a specific lot by telephone. This facility is only available by prior arrangement with the Auctioneers. The Auctioneers cannot accept responsibility for any neglect or default in executing or failing to execute telephone bids. 

4. Live Online bidding. An online bidding service is offered via easyLiveAuction.com. In completing the bidder registration on these sites the buyer is agreeing to Leighton Hall Auctions conditions of sale. 

i. In the case where a debit or credit card has been used to register the buyer also agrees to authorise Leighton Hall Auctions, if they so wish, to charge the debit or credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via the online bidding platform. 

ii. Please note that any lots purchased via easyLiveAuction.com may be subject to an additional 3% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the hammer price if that option is selected at registration. If the ‘Flat Fee’ option is selected at registration there in no additional commission for the online bidding on the easyLiveAuction.com platform.

11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY 

1. The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third-party claims. 

2. No representation or warranties are made by Leighton Hall Auctions or the seller as to whether any lot is subject to copyright or whether the buyer acquires copyright in any lot. 

12. AGENCY 

The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers. 

13. TERMS OF SALE 

The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot. 

14. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION OF LOTS 

1.Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description of a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we, the auctioneer nor our employees or agents, nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries. 

2. Condition Reports. Reports on the condition of any lot are offered by the Auctioneers as a statement of opinion only, and not of fact. Leighton Hall Auctions Limited are not liable for any errors or omissions contained therein. The buyer must satisfy themselves to the condition of any given lot prior to bidding. Leighton Hall Auctions will not be held responsible for any damage or defect that has not been notified to the buyer. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only and will not convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. Whilst Leighton Hall Auctions will try our best to give accurate condition reports, these are only a matter of opinion and used for indications, not as facts. You must satisfy yourself as to the condition of a lot.

3. Where the term (a/f) is used this refers to a lot being ‘as found’, it is used for guidance only and indicates in our opinion there is significant damage or repair to an item, the omission of this term does not indicate there is not significant damage or repair to an item and Leighton Hall Auctions are not liable for the omission of this term. 

4. Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 

15. FORGERIES & RETURNS 

Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. Leighton Hall Auctions may require the buyer to obtain at the buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Leighton Hall Auctions and the buyer. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) if you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale. 

16. ONLINE ONLY TIMED AUCTIONS 

These following terms are applicable only to sales conducted online only and are to be used in addition to the conditions of sale.

(i). 14 calendar days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or 

(ii). (if earlier) 14 calendar days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods. iii.

5. such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 

19. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or email if provided in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting or sending. 

20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary of terms appearing in the catalogue. 

21. Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 

22. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions. These terms and conditions are based upon recommended conditions of sale by SOFAA (the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers) and RICS (the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors).
