The Auction Centre

About the Auction Centre
The Auction Centre is owned and operated by Lloyd Cameron, an independent family run firm of auctioneers and valuers based in North Cheshire with regional representatives throughout the UK. We provide a friendly professional service with a high degree of integrity and confidentiality. Our multi-discipline practice acts as auctioneers, valuers, consultants and estate clearance specialists working closely with solicitors, estate agents, banks, executors, trustees, the police and private individuals.

The Auction Centre offers a variety of professional and high quality services for both buyers and sellers in the auction world. These services include:

Valuation Service
We undertake professional valuation services from single items up to complete house contents including inheritance tax valuations, retail replacement valuations and pre-sale guide prices. We have access to a huge archive of past auction results worldwide enabling us to accurately provide vendors with current price guide information.

Pre-sale acceptance days
A consultant is available for the purpose of pre-sale valuations and acceptances EVERY MONDAY (excluding public holidays) at our Runcorn based Auction Centre between the hours of 10.00 am and 5.00pm with no appointment necessary. In addition, consignments are accepted at the Auction Centre on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10.00am to 5.00pm, although on these days, it is advisable to phone Client Services on +44 (0)1928 579796 prior to calling.

Auction Services
If you wish to sell an individual item worth from £20 to £200,000, a collection or a complete house contents, we have the expertise, the experience and the facilities to guide you through the entire auction process. We hold monthly collectables, antiques and fine art auctions on the last Saturday of every month at our Runcorn based Auction Centre, and accept bids and ship lots anywhere worldwide. We operate a collection and delivery service with pre-sale estimates given on items submitted for auction, and offer worldwide exposure via selected specialist internet websites as well as in our on-line illustrated catalogue.

House Clearance Service
If you are handling a deceased estate or merely downsizing and wish to turn your assets into cash, one of our consultants will be pleased to visit you and offer evaluation advice. Full or part house clearances are conducted sympathetically, swiftly and securely employing our own porters and transport facilities. There are normally no up front fees to pay - our charges are deducted from the proceeds of the auction sale.

The Auction Centre on Television
Our team members are regularly featured on various television programmes, including ANTIQUES ROAD TRIP (Scottish Television for BBC2) with experts Charles Hanson and Johnathan Pratt.
