Hansons Auctioneers Reviews 

I brought a selection of old cars to you which you put in the June sale. I also brought a very old scalextric and various accessories, of which there has been no mention. I have sent several emails to yourselves, the first one I had a reply to say you would make sure it went in the July auction, but I have still not received confirmation of this. I am hoping you have not let the scalextric go with the cars that I brought to you, but its looking very much like you have and nobody has got back to me about this. I am incredibly disappointed with your service and lack of communication.

Great company, efficient, knowledgable & very helpful. Always get a quick response.
Would highly recommend.

Holloways 'mistakenly sold' my 85 year old mothers gold Bracelet. The auctioneer stood her up 3 times when seeking resolution and did not even offer the base price of the gold let alone 'intrinsic value'. They took advantage! Avoid!

Absentee commission bids SHOULD take priority over floor / internet live / telephone bids ALWAYS (as they are the first received by the auctioneer)

But my confirmed absentee commission bid was equalled and awarded to a live / floor bidder. Is this a sign of bad practice, incompetence or corruption?

Shame - otherwise good auctioneer BADLY let down by the above

I recently consigned a WWII sketchbook with Hansons Auctioneers, and the entire experience was outstanding. I had the pleasure of working with Matt Crowson, who went above and beyond throughout the process.

The listing itself was incredibly detailed and professional; it was clear that Matt took the time to ensure nothing was left out, providing a comprehensive description that really showcased the item's history. His expertise and professionalism gave me complete confidence in the sale.

The final result was a delight—the item significantly exceeded both mine and Matt’s expectations.

If there is one area for improvement, it would be the payout timeline, which is quite long compared to some other experiences. However, given the level of care, communication, and the excellent final result, it is a minor drawback in an otherwise seamless process.

I wouldn’t hesitate to consign with Hansons again and look forward to working with Matt and the team on future pieces.

Thank you all again.

Really positive experience with Hanson's auctioneers, from first attending one of their drop-in sessions, to then having an individual appointment, right through to receiving the auction money. They were friendly, helpful, informative and responsive. Have already recommended them to others.

First contact was William (Etwall branch) who specialises in coins. He was clearly passionate about his expertise in this field. His estimates were pretty much spot on. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Very happy with the service.

Good information

The people and service was very good

The staff were very helpful & friendly. Honest & upfront about everything.
Would use them again.

Kept informed ...one item only sold so far ..waiting on monet

Helpful staff 👌

Initial appointment was cancelled at very short notice but that being said Rosemary did hustle to re-organize with different valuer's coming out the same afternoon/time and the 3 members she sent were excellent, special thanks to the lady with autism, sorry I forget her name.
Follow-up/contact since has been limited and could be better for sure. I am unsure as to what happens next with items not in the original auction and how/when they will be sold? Please can you provide me with an update on those items. Thank You & Kind Regards Vanessa

Very appraochable honest and managed expectations sensibly and realistically.Even rescued a sentimental LOT that I couldn't bare to part with at the last
minute !

So far so good. A great service from the beginning. A good valuation and sold for a bit more than I expected. Contacted me once sold. Would recommend. Will be using them again.

If I could leave zero I would. Nothing good to say. Lost items, sold bundles that didn’t go together for pennies. Still haven’t found all the items a year later. No empathy and no solution as yet offered. Stay away

Professional friendly stress free . Would highly recommend

The guy that came to our house didn't really give us any clue about the things we had, he seemed rushed & not really interested so much so he took our stuff & didn't leave us a receipt, I've had to chase them. One email said I had to pick the unsold items up 5 days after the sale but they didn't send the email until a week after ! We didn't feel he pushed items in the sale , we've watched others that are more enthusiastic.

Very happy with the way I was informed of how my items would be sold at the auction.

Very nice polite people and pleased with the outcome.
Shall be looking out some more items for future sales, as my children have told me to thin things out.

All went well. I hoped that the paintings I left for the auction would be marked as being painted by artists who were Royal Academicians. They might have created more interest.
