be completed for each lot on which a bid is to be placed.
- The form must be delivered to Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents Limited at least 24 hours
prior to the start of the Auction together with the appropriate payment as

- In the case of a proxy bid the Bidder hereby authorises the Auctioneers or
their staff to bid on their behalf as their agent up to the maximum amount of
the authorised bid the whole of the Bidder’s deposit will be used as deposit
towards the purchase price. If the Bidder is unsuccessful the full amount of
the Bidder’s deposit will be refunded to the Bidder promptly after the Auction
(without interest).
- In the case of a telephone bid a member of the Auctioneers’ staff will attempt
to contact the Bidder by telephone before the lot in question is offered for
sale. If contact is made the Bidder may compete in the bidding through
the Auctioneers’ staff. However if telephone contact cannot be made or the
connection is lost the Bidder hereby authorises the Auctioneers and their
staff to bid on their behalf up to the maximum authorised bid for the lot in
question. If the Bidder is successful at a price which is less than the guide
price the whole of the Bidder’s deposit will be used as a deposit towards the
purchase price. If the Bidder is unsuccessful the full amount of the Bidder’s
deposit will be refunded to the Bidder promptly after the Auction (without
interest).
- If the Bidder is successful the Bidder hereby authorises the Auctioneers to
sign the Memorandum of Agreement on their behalf.
- If the Bidder wishes to withdraw or alter his instructions or to attend the
Auction to bid it is their responsibility to notify the Auctioneers in writing
before the Auction and also to notify the auctioneer in charge of the Auction
before the lot in question is offered for sale.
- The Auctioneers shall not be liable for any failure to bid due to inadequate or
unclear instructions being received or for any other reason. The Auctioneers
have absolute discretion as to whether or not and in what manner to bid.
- The Bidder is deemed to have full knowledge of the General and Special
Conditions of Sale and the Notice to All Prospective Buyers herein. The
Bidder is also deemed to have full knowledge of any addendum produced
by the Auctioneers at or prior to the Auction. The Bidder is therefore advised
to check whether any relevant addendum has or will be produced but the
Auctioneers will not be liable to the Bidder if he fails to so check.
