I had several pieces of furniture to enter into Stanford’s auction and was not able to deliver them myself. Charlie Coe organised a van and he and Luke came to my house to collect the items. It was not a straightforward collection and involved Charlie and Luke having to dismantle some items. They did this willingly and successfully. I was impressed by their dedication to doing the job to the best of their ability; in fact they went beyond what I had expected of them. Thank you Charlie and Luke.

COVID UPDATE...As of June 20th Stanfords resumed part of it's Saturday auction the bikes and yard sales. Strict regulations for selling and buiding apply so visit their website first......Well known auctioneers of livestock during the week, that converts to a public auction on a Saturday. Auctions are split between small livestock including chickens, quail, pigeons, rabbits, ferrets, ducks and gees. They also sell secondhand cages and feed. Gardening including plants trees and shrubs. The bike sale normally has about fifty bikes of all ages. The yard sale includes timber, machinery, mowers, chainsaws and general house clearance items. Cars and vans are for sale but I am not sure how regularly. Once a month that hold a general antiques sale in the main shed. Parking is available in the car showroom car park next door, follow the sign's. Also on site is a vegetable stall and mobile butchers. Top tips, you can enter lots for auction on the morning of the sale for animals or before for other items if you are entering animals make sure they gave room and water. You can bid with cash but you have to register to put it on the book and pay at the end. Nice staff but don't be pushed around during the bidding as it can be a crush.

We were fortunate enough to purchase our new home recently through Stanford’s. Despite a very lengthy process, and, thus, excessive communication, all of our many queries and questions were resolved and answered with utmost professionalism and unending patience. We would not hesitate one iota in recommending this highly professional company and thank Steve Wright, particularly, for imparting his wide range of knowledge which made our purchase all the more easier.

The Saturday Market is always a good place to go and walk around, you really never know what you're going to find. The staff are always fantastic and helpful. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is the state of the ladies toilet. There is never ever any toilet roll and it alwats looks like it's not been cleaned. A new new toilet seat wouldn't go amiss either. Please think about getting a new toilet roll dispenser that holds more!!

I had an awful experience at Stanfords, the auctions are great don't get me wrong big range of stuff, but they should NOT allow dogs there, two big dogs jumped on a miniature poodle and made quite a severe wound on its neck, the poor little dog was absolutely frightened, I would suggest not bringing your dog to this auction or any auction for that matter. They shouldn't let dogs here full stop.

Good afternoon Bethan. Thank you for the feedback. Today certainly was a awful experience and we are in contact with the owner of the injured dog. This incident whilst the first of such nature has led us to make the decision to ban all non service dogs from the site even when on a lead as these dogs were today. And we would therfore ask all dog owners to please not bring them with them as you will be refused entry. The Partners

Myself and my partner have just brought a property through Stanfords and we would certainly recommend them! Within the space of 2 months we viewed the property, had our offer accepted, exchanged and completed! Thank you Matthew Mason and Steve Wright for both always being available by phone and email. From 2 very happy buyers!

if you want to be lied to, to youre face about the planning application you are paying them to do, if you want to waste many hours chasing local councils and the planning office, because mr le grys has insisted all is going through, tickety boo, and it is the lazy council that is dragging their feet,when it is in fact he who has yet to be bothered to put it in a post box, then this is youre man/company

I go to the Saturday auctions, multiple auctions take place over the morning. Just register the first time you're there and away you go. Well organised, friendly, no buyer's premium. What's not to like.

I hope you like junk as much as I do. These are junk auctions, dead stock auctions and penny auctions. Expect to find a lot of stuff that looks like it came from a skip and needs to be returned to a skip. Some stuff here can be worth something to the right person. Be wary of regulars who like to bid insane amounts to keep newbies out. Like with any auction keep a good head on your shoulders and think before you bid. Furniture auctions are the best of the bunch, but on busy days are a complete bust with how much some people want to buy things for. Staff are friendly and helpful if you are new to the game. Car park is a nightmare. Don't bring a nice car, it will probably end up with a dent of some kind in it from a man who hasn't washed in 4 years driving a sketchy P reg Transit.

Been going to the livestock auction for a long time and can’t fault it! HOWEVER, general auction leaves a lot to be desired, ‘PAT tested’ electrical items that obviously haven’t been tested as they don’t work and general items that are only fit for the bin! I understand things are going to need a bit of cleaning up but come on, a gazebo with no canvas? Surely items must be checked in to some extent! Avoid and would definitely think twice about going again!
