Beer garden sale
A client wished to sell a small cottage on the Norfolk coast by auction. We provided the auctioneers with all the necessary legal information and conditions for the Auction Catalogue to be published. The client wanted us to attend the auction and booked overnight accommodation for me. On arriving at the auction, held in the garden of a local pub, we were told that the auctioneers did not use standard contracts (as is the norm), but that seller's solicitors were expected to bring a contract for the lucky bidder to sign. We ended up drafting a Sale Contract on the back of a pub menu!
