Condition Reports Chorley’s strongly advises that prospective bidders view Lots in person and stresses that any descriptions, estimates and condition reports supplied are an opinion provided by this firm and do not guarantee the condition, age, value or any other characteristic of the Lot in question. The absence of a condition report on our online catalogue does not imply that the Lot is without imperfection or damage, only that a condition report has not been undertaken.  Bidding To be able to bid at a Chorley’s auction, you must register and obtain a paddle number from our saleroom office.  If you have not bid with us before, you will be asked to provide proof of identity and residence, such as driver's licence photocard, passport, current utility bill.  New bidders and absentee bidders will be also asked to supply valid credit or debit card details.  If you are unable to attend the auction to bid in person, you can leave commission bids or register for telephone bidding or online bidding.
