McCartneys have two dedicated auction salerooms, one in Shropshire and the other in Powys. We hold monthly fine art, antique and general furniture auctions and also offer a free valuation service of items brought down to our salerooms by appointment, with no obligation to sell.

Along with sourcing lots from private vendors, we offer a discreet and sympathetic approach to house clearances with a free pre-sale appraisal. We are able to provide full written valuations for the purposes of probate, insurance, family division and inheritance tax as well as for sale by auction.
