Cancelled Car Auctions - Further Information

Whilst our auctions have been cancelled in line with Government rules (see our main Coronavirus announcement below for further information), if you are interested in any of the vehicles mentioned in our current online catalogue please email me at james.johnson@hobbsparker.co.uk.

Coronavirus Update - No. 3 (25 March 2020)

All auctions have now been suspended with the exception of Livestock Auctions which are continuing having been approved by DEFRA to protect the food chain and are subject to strict rules.

Our Estate Agents and Property Consultants businesses are operating subject to Government movement restrictions. Our offices are closed to visitors.

Nearly all our staff are working from home with full access to our computer and email systems.

Our normal telephone numbers are still operational but you may experience the odd delay as calls are routed to our staff at home.

We will provide further updates here as and when the situation changes.
