David Duggleby Auctioneers & Valuers Arvostelua 

Property Clearance par excellence....

From the first phone call to clearing the property, it has been a pleasure to deal with Duggleby Estates. Tight timelines, Christmas period, horrific sheds to clear...

All of which was absolutely no problem. Courteous, clear, reactive.....nothing was too much trouble.

More than highly recommended

Extremely efficient and courteous. We have nothing but praise for the way our move was handled. Loaded, delivered, unloaded and finished in 7 hours - with an hours distance between properties. Very impressed and would certainly recommend.

Outstanding service & consideration. Collected a few lots - large & heavy. DD had missed part of one of the lots & I missed it when I collected them. Halfway home (10 hr round trip) noticed the omission & contacted DD asking them to check.
DD located missing item - largeish & fairly heavy & in less than 24hrs had it packed & dispatched to me.
No dramas, no quoting T`s & C`s or blaming A N Other - just sorted it - these things happen.
Other houses should take note - this is service & customer care as it should be.

Tried to obtain a valuation on-line and sent full details of a painting and never even had the courtesy of a reply and that was via the Harrogate office(melanie saleem).
Today because i was in the area called in the valuation event at the Talbot in Malton and it turned out to be a non-event. Totally unsuitable venue with no nearby parking as the car park was overflowing. Eventually shown to a tiny room jam packed with no privacy and facing a long wait . Appointments? So my advice is go elsewhere unless you want to waste your time

David Duggleby Auctioneers have sold several items at auction for me over the past couple of years. They communicate very well from initial valuation, listing statements including auction dates and times, through to payment of items sold. I can only praise and recommend this very professional company.

Not very impressed with their reduced commission valuation days. I even rang up to see if they would be interested and told to bring them in, but when I saw someone they said it wasn't worth it to them to sell them. Basically they weren't interested in anything which would be worth £20 or less when it was reduced commission. I wouldn't mind but whenever I have viewed their more basic sales, there are boxes and boxes of low value items which would struggle to get a bid. Also when selling anything be aware that there is a lot fee on top of the commission

I bid £75 for a post auction lot which Duggleby's said was not enough, I saw later they sold the lot for £70, seems a strange way to run an auction house!!

An absolute rip off, £35.00 postage for a 500 gram parcel, that cost less than £10.00 to send, ONLINE BUYERS BEWARE !!!!

I dropped my items off for a valuation and was told I would get a call once they had been looked at. I had not heard after 3 and a half hours so called back in to be told that no one had looked at them. Then a lady came, didnt know where the items were, didn't even look at the items and told me they weren't worth much. I had travelled 2 hours for this valuation.
The lady on reception was really pleasant and helpful hence 2 stars instead of 1

Excellent service from start to finish. Very helpful staff from initial contact, through valuation, collection of items and the whole process of auction sales. Surprisingly good sales prices achieved for the items I was selling and prompt payment after completion. Top marks for a top notch experience throughout. Thank you.

Cant fault this aution house, seamless experience buying from them. Bought on the Thursday and delivered to my door Saturday morning. Thea in dispatch was exceptional and kept me up to date with every step of the process so very well done. Paid a little moe than i wanted but no one forced me to bid and i was very happy with my purchaces. I will certainly buy from them again. Keep up the good work.

Very efficient and responsible auction house, instant up to date valuations, good advice on the best way to obtain the best price for the items you wish to sell. Highly recommended.

Absolute rubbish auction house. Sell patched up movements and watches for high prices. Knowing or not, is your responsability to be sure what you sell is genuine. What a scam house. Never will buy again here. Advice for readers: save your money . Do not buy Rolex with FHF movement in it or Tudor with pink and chromed colour ebauche EB parts....Disgusted!!!!

Excellent, good service and prompt payment for lots sold.

This is a company of extremes: they either offer good honest advice or are completely neglectful. Was offered good advice on most of my lots, but several were sold for less than half price. They tried to convince me that I should have known to set a reserve. I saw little point in talking to them any further. Sellers should be aware that this company's main goal is to get their fee for a sale - any sale.

Absolutely disgusted with this auction house. I took two boxes of things down to have appraised and auctioned. I was awaiting a phone call to say what they thought. Next thing I knew they had lumped it all together, put it in an auction, not at the sale room but online, and sold the lot for £15!! There was Doulton, crystal, antiques....Gone. No consultation or anything. I ended up with £5 for all my good stuff!!

Bought a safe without any keys! There was no information regarding this on the lot description and the lot was in storage at Eastfield. Still had to buy the safe and now nearly 4 months later still waiting for them to auction the safe again. Very poor! This is clearly a deliberate act to try and antagonise me. I would not recommend Dugglebys to anyone buying or selling. Snobbish expensive and useless

I highly recommend this company. I have many years of experience as both a buyer and seller at this auction house. Unlike many other auction houses Dugglebys has changed with the times and is constantly looking to make improvements. The consequence of this is that it has developed into a market leader in Yorkshire and the North of England. Family based David, Jane and their son provide good strong leadership. The valuation team are highly knowledgeable and helpful. The office team are extremely personable, delightful and efficient. The porters are very pleasant and obliging.

Buying and selling is an easy and a satisfying experience. Catalogue descriptions are accurate and condition reports are easily available. The evolution of this company should serve as a role model to others in this industry. Prices attained at Dugglebys are constantly improving and reflect the true market value of goods.
