Register to Bid

When you register your debit card with Opayo, they will authenticate and securely store your card details, but NO payment will be taken unless you are a successful purchaser. In the event that you make a purchase we will automatically take a payment from your registered card. You must therefore ensure you have sufficient funds in your bank account for the 10% deposit, subject to a minimum of £5,000 plus the buyer’s premium of £1,500 inc. VAT (£1,250 plus VAT). There is a maximum amount we can automatically take from your card and you must be available by telephone on the auction day to make a top-up payment if required. If you do not register your card details with Opayo prior to the auction, you will not be able to bid. Please note, it is now a requirement that all online payments are checked via 3D security. This is setup with your bank and will usually involve confirming your payment registration via text message or within your online banking app. If you are bidding on behalf of a company and don’t have a debit card, you can alternatively transfer your funds to our client account in advance of the auction. If you are bidding from overseas you must transfer your funds in advance. Please contact us to discuss your circumstances and we will explain the process further. It is your responsibility to ensure you have completed all of your pre-auction checks which should include viewing the property, reading the legal pack (which can include costs in addition to the purchase price), checking the addendum for any changes to the catalogue, reading the important information, common auction conditions and remote bidding terms and conditions as well as arranging a survey and your finances (if applicable). Please note that Sheldon Bosley Knight Auctions cannot be held responsible for internet/connection/communications problems which stop you from being able to bid for any of our auction properties.
