Why Lockdales?
If you are considering selling your precious, old or unwanted items, you can only benefit by finding out what you have before posting your valuables off to an unknown ‘mail-in’ service. Once you’ve sent them off on their merry way in a cardboard box, you’re already at the losing end of the deal. This type of service may be beneficial as a last port-of-call, but why take the risk of losing out?
You can trust that Lockdales Auctioneers & Valuers will provide you with time-served expertise, knowledge and care. We are an independent auction house with our customers' best interests at heart.
Our Valuation Days are an excellent opportunity for you to receive no-obligation professional advice and free valuations from our in-house team of valuers, who are all experts in their respective fields. Combining their expertise with 20 years of roadshow experience, access to a global database of sales information and state of the art testing equipment, our valuers can confidently approximate the value of your items and show you similar examples which have sold both historically and recently.
Really friendly and helpful staff!

Simply the best, why? Because they know
what they're doing.
