Auction experience

Very helpful lady who valued my items. I watched the Auction on line and found that useful. Hanson’s has sent correspondence following the Auction stating how much my items sold for. I’m very happy with everything.

Professional Service

Professional service provided.
From the valuation meeting, I felt the team were extremely professional and knowledgeable about the jewellery presented to them.
Their valuation was spot on, my items achieved my expected amounts.
I was kept informed of what stage we were at, from listing, to sold.
Now I’m just waiting for payment, but still well within the timeframe they stated, so absolutely no doubt t I will receive my funds as advised.

Having used Hansons for the first time, I will definitely be taking more items for valuation and hopefully be as successful in the sales again!

My experience is as a buyer

My experience is as a buyer. I received an absolutely stellar service from Edwyn, who kindly supplied several additional photos and organised a telephone bid, at very short notice. Each of my telephone calls were returned within a couple of minutes, all with the personal service of Edwyn, who also personally posted the Lot for me, to be safely received within the next working morning. Edwyn is an absolute treasure and I would not hesitate to purchase from Hansons again.

Excellent service

I took my items for consideration to a location not far from home, they were taken to auction after giving me a rough idea of value. I was kept informed, they fetched slightly more than my expectations and before the date quoted the money was in my bank account. Very pleased.

Auction Seller

We received personal attention from Chris Kirkham in respect of our sale of a musical instrument, and the article was collected from our home.

The pricing of the article for auction was handled with our co operation and input, and we were kept informed.

The actual sale price was in excess of expectations.
