July 2024: I had not used Littleton Auctions before and found them to be knowledgeable, friendly and helpful beyond other auction houses, Their communication throughout was thorough, knowledgeable and very clear. Their packaging and postage very efficient. I just wish all auction houses were as good. Thank you again, Tim Sykes.

August 2023: What an amazing auction house!! Martin, Ben and the team are always welcoming and provide a brilliant service to both sellers and buyers. We've dealt with this auction room for many years and always had fantastic service. The atmosphere in the room on auction days is well worth experiencing and you can even get your breakfast/lunch there from their cafe! Would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area.
