Since 2013 C&T Auctioneers and Valuers Ltd. has proudly been running fantastic auctions, successfully bringing together sellers and bidders for over a decade.

But for anyone who has not yet bid in one of our live auctions, let’s take a look at how it works:

Online bidding

All of the auctions at C&T are now run online only, meaning we have no clients bidding in the room on auction day.

The main way that our clients bid is by registering an account on the C&T website and registering to bid in the sale.

Alternatively, you can use your Saleroom account to bid through their platform.  However, please be aware that bidders on the Saleroom website are subject to an additional 5.94% charge.

We recommend that you register well in advance of the sale so that our admin team have time to approve your account and for a smooth bidding experience on the day.

Telephone bids

Not a fan of bidding online? You can instead phone our office team and ask them to get you registered for a telephone bid. We will take your contact details and the lot numbers you want to bid on, then one of our team will give you a ring during the auction and bid in the room on your behalf.

Be sure to do this at least a day before the auction so we have time to add it to the system.

Absentee/Commission bids

Not going to be available on auction day? No problem!

Phone up the office and let us know what lots you want to bid on and your maximum bids. These details will be handed to the auctioneer

Again, make sure you give at least a day for us to update our system and get your bids to the auctioneer.

After the auction

After the excitement of auction day, our team will be busy working to get your invoice out to you, so keep an eye on your inbox! Unless otherwise stated, your invoice will include a shipping quote from our in house shipping department, who pride themselves on preparing and packing all auction items with great care. However, if you’re a local and want to collect your items in person, just let us know! Invoices will also show the cost breakdown, including the 26.4% buyer’s charge on the hammer price.

If you have any queries do not hesitate to get in touch!

Our office is open 09:00 - 10:00, and we can be reached via email at enquiries@candtauctions.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0) 1233 510 050
