Selling FAQ's

Here are some of the questions that we are most frequently asked with brief answers.

If your question is not answered her, please ring the saleroom on 01900 827800 for assistance

Do you sell electrical goods?

Yes. Trading Standards Legislation requires that all electrical goods are tested for electrical safety. There is a small charge for this in the sum of £3.00 inc. VAT.

When do you get paid?

By BACS transfer a week after the date of sale.

Is there anything that Mitchells Household Auctions do not sell?

Very little. Gas appliances and items of upholstered furniture that do not meet the requirements of The Furniture and Fire Safety Regulations (1988) are the only major items that we do not sell.

How do I get goods to the saleroom?

We accept goods on Mondays or Friday between 9-5. Please bring your items in via the loading bay on Lorton Street. You will need to have your bank sort code and account number availabe as proceeds are paid via bank transfer. Along with an address and telephone number we require you to register an email address.
