Today's statement from Auction House:

Auction House is responding to the increasing impact of Coronavirus, and over the coming days and weeks will follow the advice of government and medical organisations.

We have put in place contingency plans to ensure continuity of our auction selling service. We will continue to carry out appraisals, list properties, host viewings and offer lots for sale on auction day.

If public gatherings are prevented and we need to cancel our Room Auction event, we may offer listed lots via our Online Auctions platform, with e-Bay style internet bidding along with Proxy and Telephone Bidding. Full information will be provided on each of our for sale lots if this situation occurs, alternatively please call our regional office for assistance.
