However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you are advised by or bidding through an agent on a lot identified as being subject to a third party guarantee you should always ask your agent to confirm whether or not he or she has a financial interest in relation to the lot. Third party guarantors are required by us to disclose to anyone they are advising their financial interest in any lots they are guaranteeing. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder, the fixed fee for taking on the guarantee risk may be netted against the final purchase price. The third party may also bid for the lot above the written bid. The third party will be remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk based on a fixed fee if the third party is the successful bidder or on the final hammer price in the event that the third party is not the successful bidder. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. The third party is therefore committed to bidding on the lot and, even if there are no other bids, buying the lot at the level of the written bid unless there are any higher bids. In such cases the third party agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot.
