Services
Heading into our third century of auctioneering, we're a friendly auction house based at Junction 36 of the M6, which is easy to access from Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire. Our purpose-built offices and salerooms are part of the J36 Rural Auction Centre and they house a team of experts and support staff who thrive on the buzz of auctioneering.
Lee works alongside Andy to keep our auctions and saleroom running smoothly. He's always busy receiving goods for auction and organising the collection of goods following each auction's close. Simon takes the lead on our vinyl valuations, particularly on rare pressings and private collections.

Simon also works alongside auctioneer Kev Kendal on our specialist Musical Instruments, Equipment and Collectable Vinyl auctions, cataloguing the vinyl section.As a child Annia could be found rummaging in forgotten boxes in dusty corners of attics, or with her nose in an antiques guide. She is also interested in a range of mid-century items including ceramics and anything slightly unusual.
There's a wide range of auctions taking place each week at 1818 Auctioneers. We are currently selling via online timed auctions to ensure the safety of our customers, our staff and the local community. If you wish to buy online with us, please follow the registration instructions on www.the-saleroom.com.
Requesting an online auction valuation is still easy, please call 015395 66201 (Monday to Friday) to discuss the options for valuations. Requesting an online auction valuation is easy. If you have something to sell at auction, we'd love to offer an estimate of the price it's likely to achieve and share our advice on which auction would lead to the most interest from our buyers.

We offer a professional, friendly and thoughtful house clearance service in partnership with trusted local, removal firms. We understand that dealing with the disposal of the contents of a house can be stressful and overwhelming.

Had a few dealings with this auction house over time, id already been warned by family and friends never to use, as they had bad experiences with them, and they had switched to other friendlier auction houses,
I now understand why, they have the most discourteous, obstructive, unaccommodating, and unenlightenment staff we have ever come across,
I kept this review short, as I wouldn’t waste anymore time talking about them. But now understand all the other poor reviews on Facebook.

AVOID! I’ve never known an auction house make life so difficult in trying to accept lots - no longer is just a case of making an appointment, apparently everything now has to be vetted and itemised.

Great place to find interesting items on the online auctions and have now dropped off collections to be sold. Good knowledgeable staff and efficient service.

Not good, they generally put severe damage in their online auction details e.g. large tears, breakages etc. They have actually told me before and have stated on social media that this is the case and implies that if nothing is stated then the item is generally good.
I bought a several items for around £500 the other week (unable to view due to lockdown) a few were in really bad condition, nothing mentioned at all in the auction listings (had to throw two of them away they were that bad).

Buy at your own risk.
Can't do a condition report to save their lives, you'd think obvious damage would be reported but NO. Even in lockdown when you can't view its the buyers fault.

Really happy with the service from the 1818 Auctioneers team. Have loved buying online and collecting by appointment through all of the restrictions this year! Well done all.

Fascinating place. So many items of interest and very helpful staff.
Well worth a visit, even if you're not taking part in the auction itself.
