Valuation is an important process to help you understand the true worth of your items and there are a number of easy-to-use ways to receive a valuation. Our salerooms are open for consignments and our team of specialists are available to offer free, professional advice at our Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Oxfordshire and London Auction Centres.
Hansons Auctioneers is pleased to offer a live online bidding service on our free bidding platform HansonsLive. To access this service, please visit www.hansonslive.co.uk and 'Create Account' to register to bid. You can browse our catalogues and bid in advance or during a live auction by using the Hansonslive bidding platform.
Entries are invited for all future auctions. If you wish to consign, whether a single item or an entire house contents, please contact us to arrange a valuation. We can assess all types of items free of charge with no obligation to consign. We will ensure your items are entered into the most suitable auction.
Hansons Auctioneers offers an in-house postal service for clients who are unable to collect. We will happily despatch your lots to you if we are able to do so. Please contact us after the auction for a postage and packing quotation. We are not professional packers or shippers but do our utmost to pack items in a correct way to ensure your items arrive safely.
We specialise in all types of printed books, manuscripts and maps including the earliest antiquarian hand-drawn maps. We love to rev up some excitement in the world of classic cars and automobilia at our Motoring Auctions.

THE most expensive auctioneer in the country - probably the world - at 38.4% buyers commission !! Beggars belief... Makes Christies and Sotheby's look cheap. Pure GREED - being on TV has gone to Mr Hanson's head and he thinks he can get away with it because he's 'famous' and people will just LOVE to shower money at him for the privilege of buying items and hearing his voice. I don't how desperate I am to own an item he has for sale I would not buy it as a matter of principle. This is not a good place for vendors - the ridiculous commission deters buyers from bidding too high - Be careful Charlie

Amazing! Charles Hanson is a delightful family man who is VERY good at his job. He noticed something in my house I thought was worthless but quite the contrary. All the people I have spoken too have been very pleasant and helpful

Just been to pick up our lots from The Chapel in Castle Gresley, and wanted to say how very helpful and pleasant Josh was, who dealt with us. He willingly helped us load our car with some very heavy objects. He is a credit to the company.

I was recently successful in bidding on a lot with a hammer price of £800. I understood prior to bidding that I could expect to pay 25% commission, plus Saleroom commission/internet charges of 7% plus vat, and postage of £20 plus vat which seemed reasonable. However, after they have shipping or receiving lots into their London saleroom, they then have the audacity, without making it clear in the pre-auction information that they charge an additional £12 to have the items shipped from London to their postal offices. This is petty, should be made clearer to potential bidders and is completely

There are a wide selection of sales spread across the year. There is a mix of specialist and general sales. All of the lots are populated onto the online website though it is nice to pop in and have a good root around to get a feel for what you may like to bid on. There are plenty of staff on site to get answers to any of your questions.

Lovely people to deal with. Knowledgeable and helpful. Extremely professional in their business and personal approach following the death of my father. If you need an expert and or an auctioneer I would happily recommend them.

An amazing service with exceptional effort put in to making sure we were happy. Great communication throughout. The publicity and research that was put into our consignment was second to non. Would recommend to all. 5 star service.

I sold stuff in January. Got a sales advice and was told money in my account within 20 days - was it NO. Does he reply to emails NO. Spoken once on phone - thinks because he is on tv he can get away with whatever he feels like. Don’t sell your treasures through this man. An unreliable person, rude and unhelpful on the phone. Utterly incapable of any sort of customer service - useless.
It’s now March so thought I would update the above. Shambolic Customer Service. Doesn’t return calls. Still waiting for money. Absolute disgrace.

Lovely, lovely person who said the most kindest words to me after my Grandson was prematurely born. Charles also is committed to various charities. He’s a true diamond. If anyone deserves an O.B.E. It’s Charles. Your friend from Scotland. Melanie (ex N.H.S. staff).

Been a couple of times now. Even though the things that we’ve brought aren’t necessarily worth a lot, the staff are always willing to spend time with you and are always friendly and nice atmosphere and everyone is always there to help. Thank you xx
