Bidding through us
Most auction-goers pay an 8% buyer’s premium on top of the hammer price. Bid through House of Plates and you pay the hammer only — we represent you, negotiate at the margin, and handle every transfer form with DVLA afterwards.
Dates above are confirmed DVLA schedule at time of writing and may change. Always verify on the official DVLA auctions website before travelling.
