Without doubt one of the best auctions in the UK. Very fair and transparent. Staff are first class and deserve a tap on the back.
I have been trading with this company for over two years now and the goods are always new or detailed correctly. i have had the odd issue but it has been ironed out quickly and professionally. STEER CLEAR OF AUCTIONEERS LIKE GLOBAL AUCTIONS !

This is by far, the best auction house around.
The staff couldn't be more helpful if they tried. Everyone there is bubbly, friendly and polite. We use these atleast once a month and if there has ever been an issue (never ever big issues, just sizing wrong twice on some children's clothes), they always go above and beyond to sort the issues out.
All of the staff are so helpful when you go to collect too, and the staff that answer the calls are fabulous and you can just tell they are genuinely nice. The two chaps that do the live auctions are so funny too.... we met them in person and we felt like

Check very carefully before you buy: the description of the lots bears no relationship to the actual condition. Love the doberman though.

Bought some watches , they were all worn and damaged, description impied they were new, absolute disgrace. Rude staff avoid this what I consider to be dishonest auction at all costs

Very little parking space, ended up parking on the road leading to auction, and that's a risk.
Once inside, some of the items have no lot numbers forcing you to trawl through hundreds of lot descriptions to see if any match what you're looking at.
Photos of lots are never online in time to look at the stock. Badly managed, which is a shame as it wasn't like this a few years ago :(
Be warned of lots you've won going 'missing' when to go to collect!!

Drove from Blackpool to Morecambe today (took day off work and borrowed a van) to collect the furniture I bought in your last auction- paid for 5 days ago. The items weren't there- stolen from under your employees noses from a secure building apparently!! Total lack of organisation or management on site. Hoping for a refund - nothing yet!

I bid on an item by mistake and after buying it, I tried to contact them by email and messenger to ask them please to put it back in the auction for sale. They didn't give me any answers. They just ignored me. Sorry, but It’s not nice.

Terrible auctioneers , purchased a few lots of reading glasses but only received just over 50% of the quantity I bidded on , contacted the auctioneer by email regarding this problem but haven't had a reply ( this email was sent 2 weeks ago) . STILL WAITING ON A REPLY !!

One of the best auctioneers in the area. Honest in their descriptions, great at helping on collection. Great area for access & loading with vans. Only minor quibble is sometimes photos of the lots overlap the lots either side on same rack when viewing online or on their display screen, make sure you know exactly what is in each lot before bidding. Taller dividers between lots would be helpful for clarity.

Think very carefully before bidding .. used Charles Taylor for years. However Been let Down . Won items on a Thursday received a phone call on Tuesday asking when collection would be . Informed Charles Taylor would collect and pay the following day .. travelled 1 hour 30 mins to collect to be informed my lots have been cancelled . However the lot where sat on a self . No contact from them in forming myself of cancelled lots ... staff no help .. hence would not of travelled such a distance ...
