What do I need to take to the auction on the day?

If you're planning to bid at auction, there's several things you need to take to auction on that day. Firstly, you need to take at least two forms of identification. To find out what is acceptable, have a look in the front of the catalog, as it will be listed there. Secondly, don't forget to take your solicitor's contact details. These will be entered on the memorandum of sale, if you're the successful purchaser, so that the contract of sale can be sent out to him. Thirdly, you need to take a 1% deposit. In most cases, a personal check will suffice. However, certain lots, and they will be listed in the special commissions of sale, will require you to either take a bank draft, a solicitor's check or a building society check. Remember, if you're giving a personal check, this will be special, and it is essential to make sure you've got funds to meet it the next day, as it will be clearing on that day.
