Europe

The growth of Hilditch in Europe means that we are able to serve even more vendors and buyers, and provide access to ‘localised’ premises and sales. The Hilditch Group is committed to developing our services in Europe and now has associated offices in France, Germany and Spain. Dedicated websites have been created for each of these territories, supported by teams who are fluent in both English and the language of their area. Please take a look at Hilditch Germany, Hilditch France and Hilditch Iberia.

Client Money Protection

Client Money Protection is mandatory for every company that acts as an agency in property (including chattels auctioning) which handles client money. Principals, Partners and Directors (PPDs) whose company handles client money must have their client account inspected as part of their compliance; this is achieved through providing an Accountant’s Report on an annual basis. By using Hilditch Group you can be assured that your money is in safe hands. Click here to view our certificate.

Quality & Compliance

What makes the Hilditch Group exceptional is our commitment to outstanding quality of service. This is why many of our clients have been using us for over 30 years. Quality of Service is not just about accreditation, but it certainly helps. No other auction company can match our professional standards or accreditations. But at Hilditch our work is about more than just being compliant – our managers and staff really care about building partnerships with our clients, whether buyers or sellers. The Customer Feedback we receive from you shows that you appreciate that we will go the extra mile for you.
