BUYERS INFORMATION
LOTS
Items sold at the auction are generally of some age. Accordingly, lots are sold on an ‘as seen’ basis, subjects to all faults, imperfections and errors of description.
Illustrations and photographs contained in the catalogue or elsewhere of any lots are for identification purposes only. They may not show the true condition of the lot. A photograph or illustration may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the colour/s of the lot shown.
You are strongly advised to examine any lot you are interested in prior to the Sale, it is your responsibility to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of the lot.
Lots which were originally operated by mains electricity may not comply with the current statutory requirements and as such are offered for sale solely for display or historical purposes. You should not assume they are suitable for connection to the mains electricity supply and should ensure that such items are checked by a qualified electrician before use.
Any person who damages a lot will be held liable for any loss caused.
Neither we nor the seller are liable for any error or misstatement 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 a bidder or buyer. Our liability to you is limited in the manner set out in the Conditions of Sale.
In most cases, the estimated selling price of each lot is printed beside the lot description. The estimate does not include the buyer’s premium or VAT, if applicable. Estimates are prepared well in advance of the Sale, are not definitive and are subject to change.
CONDITION REPORTS

In providing a condition report, we are not entering into a contract with you and, assume no responsibility to you in aspect of the report. As stated above neither Toogood and May nor the seller are liable for any error or misstatement in or the omission from the description of a lot contained in a condition report. Any statements contained in the report are expressions of our opinion and not statements of fact. Such statements do not imply any basis of fact upon which the opinion may be founded. Notwithstanding our report, we always strongly urge you to inspect the lot yourself and to consult an independent professional restorer, conservator or engineer to satisfy yourself as to the condition of the lot. In the event of a successful bid in relation to the lot, you will have purchased the lot with no reliance on the condition report.
