Buying at Woolley and Wallis
Our specialist sales catalogues are available online about two weeks before the sale.
All our specialist auctions are on view at least two days prior to the sale and details will be found in the relevant catalogues.
To bid at auction you will need a paddle number. This can be obtained from the office either during the view or on the day of the sale.
If you are unable to attend the sale you can leave a commission bid. This will be executed on your behalf by the auctioneer who will purchase the lot as cheaply as possible bearing in mind any reserve price and other bids.
The relevant department will be pleased to give condition reports on any lot where practical. All weights and measures given in the catalogue should be regarded as approximate.
Each lot is subject to a buyer's premium of 19.5% + VAT.
Payment is due immediately after the auction in pounds sterling. If you are a first time buyer we will need your name, address and bank details and may require funds to be cleared before purchases can be released.
The following methods of payment may be made:
bankers draft, cashiers cheque, personal cheque, travellers cheques, debit and credit cards and cash up to a limit of £5,000.
