What fees do Nesbits charge buyers?

It depends on the lot. Most Nesbits lots carry a buyer's administration fee, and some add the seller's costs to the price. The figures are in each lot's special conditions of sale in the legal pack: read them before you bid, as they are payable on top of the hammer price.
