You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. The VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers' Margin Scheme.
