Clearing my late mother's house threw up lots of bits not wanted by the family. We took several items along to Hansons who were both polite and honest about the likelihood of the items being desired.... See more

Communication with what was happening with my lots was first class, and a decent price achieved.
Total politeness and consideration
Total politeness and consideration, which meant it was a lovely experience to be with you. I felt that the photograph of our items could have illustrated our Lilliput sale items better.

I approached Hansons to appraise the value of a book and to explain the process of selling at one of their auctions. They were extremely helpful and straight forward. I sent the books and they sold them for the value they estimated. I would definitely recommend them if you are thinking of doing a similar thing. Approachable, professional and I'm very happy. Thanks

Brilliant Hansons Auction Houses!
This is the third (fourth?) time I have purchased from Hansons (from the Derby, Richmond and Banbury branches) and all deliver a consistently top class performance in all the required areas for purchasing (I have not sold anything through an auction house).
The lots they put up for auction are wide and varied and described well (you can always ask for a more detailed report if required).
The best bit about Hansons are the people who work in the various departments, they are a great knowledgable bunch who go out of their way to support and inform you. Thank you Team Hansons!

Victorian and Edwardian clothes
I recently arranged for a number of Victorian and Edwardian clothes to be sent for valuation and sale to Notty Hornblower at Etwall Derbyshire. Her expertise and excellent catalogue description, along with her enthusiasm and knowledge, ensured that their sale was very successful.

Hansons lost my 2 lithographs (which were not small) for almost one year!. I enquired after 2 months and the search began and eventually they were found and put into one of their auction days. I received £5 and was very disappointed.
First time auction user
This is the first time I have used an Auction House and I was impressed from the very first meeting to the auction itself.
I felt the valuations were fair and the whole process and communications were friendly and straightforward. So much so, that I went home looking for more items to be valued!
All but one item were sold and that will go into the next auction.
I would not hesitate to recommend Hansons in Newark to anyone and would like to thank them for a great experience.
