Welcome to Okehampton Auctions
UPDATE REGARDING CORONAVIRUS GUIDELINES
We are pleased to announce that we have joined the easylive auction system & should be up & running again soon! We are learning a new back office system to facilitate this & will be starting off with a timed auction in June & will confirm our next dates soon. We are hoping that all our customers will be able to use their existing numbers & are currently working on this.
We are monitoring Government Guidelines closely- as it currently stands we can't have onsite viewing but it may be possible before long with strictly controlled numbers & social distancing.
We will keep you all updated.
Regards
Steve & Caroline

Established over 80 years ago, Okehampton Auctions has a long history and association with the town.
Traditionally held in the Market Hall in the centre of town, the Auction moved to its permanent site at Fatherford in June 2007, due to the redevelopment of the Market Hall into a cinema.
With traffic and parking in the town centre having become an increasing problem over recent years the ample parking and easy access to the edge of town auction room has been a real bonus to our customers.
Our auctions are held regularly throughout the year, with goods in all categories being taken in throughout the month by appointment.
Each auction has between 800 - 1000 lots. Outside lots, garden effects & tools are sold first, then small items including china, glass, collectables, silver, jewellery and pictures are sold followed by furniture, furnishings, household goods and miscellanea.
We are happy to give free advice and estimates to our customers and to help with setting suitable reserve prices where relevant.
Our Auctions are featured in the Western Morning News Antiques supplement on the Saturday prior to each sale.
The viewing takes place from 10am- 1pm Monday 12p.m. - 6.p.m. on the Tuesday and from 8.30a.m. on the day of the sale, with the sale commencing at 10 a.m. Our auctions are sold at around 200 lots per hour.
Goods can be paid for and collected during the sale and until 6p.m. on sale day and between 10a.m. - 2p.m. on the Thursday. If these times are not convenient for collection we can offer other slots by appointment in the following few days.
Payments to our vendors are sent out by First Class Post on the Friday of the week following the sale, provided that the purchasers payments have been cleared through our Bank.
Our commission rates are: Vendors 15% (No VAT) Apart from mixed boxed lots which have an additional charge of £1 per lot from March 4th sale 2020 onwards
Buyers 15% (N0 VAT)
Transport facilities are available to both vendors and purchasers at a reasonable individually priced rate.
