Sellers beware: Be far more careful reading the small print than I was:
I was dealing with a difficult probate and consigned 5 items. Only one sold - for £200 - and out of that I got £38, because there are charges on all items, which rack up hugely. The costs risk therefore is entirely on the seller.
To be fair to Dawsons, when I complained, they did refund the costs on the unsold items, and were very pleasant about it. To be fair also, it was my own fault for not properly reading the small print.
Very un professional, they send you the evaluation, once you take the item to them they come up with too much excuses and devalue the item
Worked on selling hundreds of items with Senan Macdonagh from this auctioneer. Incredible service throughout. They are competent, polite, efficient and one of the best auctioneers I have met.

I would like to thank Jenny Knott for her excellent expertise. Jenny helped me sell some unwanted jewellery. I appreciated her advice and was delighted with the sale price. We have used Dawsons before and highly recommend the service they have to offer.

Bought recently from Dawsons Auctioneers after a bit of break of buying at auction and it was another great experience. Dawsons staff go out of their way to make buying easy, moving your bought items from Maidenhead to their office on Hampstead High Street if that is a more convenient collection point. Wish all auctioneers were as customer focused as Dawsons!

Dawson's were extremely efficient and professional throughout the whole process of selling. Siobhan came to my storage container herself and advised which items would sell at auction and then came up with accurate estimates of what these items would go for. The final item ended up in a bidding war and I did even better than anticipated. All in all a very happy experience; I recommend them highly.

Excellent auction and very speedy in house delivery. Items purchaced as described and at a fair price for both buyer and seller. Staff are pleasant and i found them to be very helpfull. I would certainly recommend buying from Dawsons, a pleasant experience all round.

I have been delighted with the service from Dawson's from start to finish - including prompt valuation, sale at a very good price, processing of the transaction and dealing with a minor post-sale hitch. They have been entirely professional, transparent and amiable in all their dealings. I wish more businesses were run this way nowadays and will go back to them without hesitation when the occasion arises.

I have been banned from this auction because of late payment. I have paid for the item but it was delayed due to contracting covid and being very unwell. I can understand that companies have their policies but in these unprecedented times, you would hope that a bit of discretion would come into play.
I have given it time to allow the week directors to respond to my call but they informed me they will phone back when. they contacted other directors! But it seems to me the STAFF RULE THE roost and the director cannot overrule them, They are very week
never did receive a call back as promised .
