Huge thanks to Toby and the team for a superb customer experience. Fast to respond to an issue (which wasn’t their fault). Hope to use you guys again in the future.
I have just discovered this auction house and I believe it is quite a new business, I'd like to say, this is how all auction houses should be run. Tobys customer service is exemplary and he replies to any queries super fast and with a degree of politeness you don't often find these days, not that you need to ask many questions because his descriptions of items are brilliant, he points out any damage or restoration AND puts photos of this so you are totally clear what you are buying and have no need to ask for a condition report. I had the items posted to me and I have never seen such care taken in packaging items, all arrived safely

Recently used Leighton Hall Auction and was very impressed. I collect, buy and sell antiques so it's really useful to have an auction house that responds quickly and organised postage, was really helpful. Thanks!

Very good auction and easy to deal with. They shipped an item for me and were professional and understanding.
First time bidding online at this auction. Requested items to be shipped. So impressed. Delivered well protected and within 24 hours. Would definitely buy from here again. Very positive experience, excellent customer service.
Could not recommend Leighton Hall Auctions enough they were great and helped me and my sister out so much. They went the extra mile for us by getting our payment to us as quickly as possible and helped us navigate our first time ever selling anything at an auction brilliantly. Thank you so much, from Lewie & Jenny ??
