Purchased 7 electrical items from their auction. Everything was broke, not one thing worked. Was either wet inside or just broke. When I plugged the typewriter in it literally blew up in my face. In there live auction they will say if doesn't work bring it back, but when I did the bloke wouldn't even come out of his office and left the older rude women to deal with it. Stood outside the office for 15 minutes and finally got a refund and my account blocked. If you want to pay to get rid of their rubbish then this I best place for it. Rubbish auction and even worse customer service.

I just purchased an auction item from Nigel Ward & Company, and I was very impressed by their high standard of service. This company clearly demonstrates a strong commitment to client satisfaction. My item was delivered to the south coast in secure, professional packaging at a competitive delivery rate. For those interested in selling through this auction house, I recommend them, as they will showcase your items all around the world via different internet selling portals. Unlike many other auction houses, which only offer local collection or suggest costly third-party delivery options, Nigel Ward & Company provides a comprehensive and reasonably priced delivery service on items that can be sent via the post.

Excellent borderland auction house with much to admire - organised and catalogued with just the right amount of individuality to make a visit a unique and entertaining experience - plus an auctioneer with a nice line in sit down comedy to keep you amused

My name is Nicole DeFontes, and I live in the US. I collect vintage Eiderdowns from the UK. I mostly purchase Eiderdowns from private sellers, and have not used an auction house before, but I found Nigel Ward and Company auction online, so thought I would give a try, and placed a bid on 2 Eiderdowns. The transaction could not have been easier! Nigel Ward and Co. communicated with me promptly, and were a great help in figuring out posting, payment, etc. I was more than impressed. Because I live in the US, I thought surely there may be some kind of issue with payment, posting, and the process, but the entire process from start to finish, was smooth, and easy. I received quick, and friendly communication via email, and they answered any and all questions that I had. I received the Eiderdowns that I purchased very quickly! I suspected shipping may take some time, but no, the Eiders arrived nicely packaged, sealed in plastic, and arrived within a week. I was so impressed with Nigel Ward Co. that I am writing this review. I encourage anyone who is considering using Nigel Ward, to go ahead, and do it! Thank you again Nigel Ward and Company for an easy experience, as well as my 2 lovely new Eiderdowns! I will certainly purchase again, and hope you keep me in mind when other Eiderdowns come in. Many thanks, Nicole DeFontes

My favourite auction house. A wide selection of useful stuff. Sadly for a few sellers there are great bargains to be had. I've never been to a sale yet when I haven't got something I needed at a good price

Of all the Auction Houses we deal with, Nigel Ward are the most personable, with the most helpful staff and assistance. They reply to condition reports requests with very helpful assessments, and have a reasonably priced p&p service. By barely 5pm today on auction day, we had our invoices and offer for p&p. We've also attended auctions, great selection, and superb Auctioneer. Gold standard service.

Very disorganised when you go to collect your lots.Had to make an appointment because if covid 19 rules.chise 0900hrs slot, on arrival gate was still locked and 4 other vehicles ahead of me. When I finally got in the lots could not be found , one item locked in outside garage staff did not know it was there. Took 45 minutes to collect 3 items. This was my second visit on the first occasion similar experience except 1 lot could not be found at all so refund had to be given.There does not seem to be any logic to the numbering system used or the location of lots.Made worse if you are just collecting lots so do not know what it is you are collecting/looking for.

Highly professional service if you're selling and worth a visit if you're just looking. The bric-a-brac auction is always fun and off the main hall is a secondary auction where you can grab a bargain. The main auction is where the real treasures are and though the auction house is in a rural, out of the way village, don't let that fool you. You'll find some seriously high-end collectables, I've seen everything from audiophile hi-fi separates to rare vintage wines sold here. I love an auction and this place is my absolute favourite auction house.

A great place to go and look around the sale, you can buy some really lovely thing just for a pound or two. Some of the Item are top quality for what you would pay anywhere earls. Always a go place to have a crupper and a cake as you look around. It's a nice day out if not raining. Go a long and see for you're self's, look on the net to know when the next sale. Its Nigel-wardand co. You will have a nice day out.

Very efficiently run mid-range auction centre. Very popular so you need to be early when viewing and on morning of sale to secure a parking space. Excellent cafe to help along the waits between auction lots.

Great auction room with friendly staff. Always a charity running the tearoom on auction day, serving breakfast rolls and cake. Would be five star, but for the eye watering 20% buyers premium! This they increased recently due to the new laws restricting surcharges on card payments.. Now meaning those paying cash are also 'surcharged'
