WELCOME TO SVA PROPERTY AUCTIONS’ SEPTEMBER
2020 BROCHURE
Very many thanks to all our clients and contractors for bearing with us over the last 5 months. We appreciate your support and
hope that you are all keeping well and safe. How the world has changed since we were last together on 26th February when we
offered 19 lots, sold 17 (90%) and raised over £2.2million!
Against a background of continuingly changing rules and regulations, we have prepared this brochure for our auction on 30th
September which will be held online. This means bidding remotely which will include both our traditional proxy bidding option
as well as online bidding. This method of offering property and bidding for Lots has proved highly successful during the lockdown
period for many auctioneers. We believe this will provide anyone wishing to bid at the auction with an easy option to bid on the
day. Further details on how to register for remote bidding are set out within the brochure. Please note that we are continuing our
long established policy of not making any administration charges or applying any buyer’s premiums to the hammer prices.
Our staff are continuing to work safely either from home or where essential, on site. The same applies to our printing company
and therefore a second change is that we have decided not to produce a paper copy of the brochure for this auction. If you know
of anyone who would like copy of this brochure, please ask them to contact us by email at info@sva-auctions.co.uk
Please also note that as your safety and that of the SVA team is of paramount importance, we will not be able to hold block
viewings of properties and individual appointments will need to be arranged via us or our joint agents. Your assistance in adhering
to all agreed arrangements is essential and will be much appreciated.
We look forward to seeing you, albeit virtually, later this month. If you have any queries, please do get in touch with us.
