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

A big thank you and shout out to Katy B
My review concerns Hanson's at Etwall, Derbyshire. A big thank you and shout out to Katy Beardmore, who was lovely, professional and efficient. She was able to give a fair valuation for the items I brought in, taking the time to look at each of the objects in turn. Daniel also valued fairly the silverware. My siblings and I used Hanson's frequently 10 years ago when we were clearing out our parents house. Back in the day we would be able to bring the antiques on a Friday morning, have them valued and put into the following auction. This felt much easier and less stressful in comparision to nowadays having to ring up, explain what type of antiques and make an appointment. I understand that times have changed and Hanson's has expanded, but I do miss that personal touch and of course the cup of tea !

Couple who do the pricing when you take things in are really nice. Hansons always informs us as to when the auction is going to b and if our item has sold or not
As always Great ++
As always, great communication, and fair results, paid promptly. Many thanks.
An Honest Auction House.
I have found the communication system with this firm to be excellent, whether it is Mr Hanson or Joy in the office. Replies are swift and informative. Payment is a bit slow but it does get credited to your account. It would be helpful if all the charges were deducted immediately after auction so you know straight away how much you are going to get.
