VALUATION AND AUCTION SERVICES

Probate Valuations
We specialise in providing a valuation service for executors, including detailed discussions on valuations, security, family division and sale by auction. Valuable items can be removed to our premises for safekeeping. It is important for executors to be able to show that they have used due diligence in making returns to the Capital Taxes Office. The basis of valuations is an assessment of market value and as auctioneers who are constantly in the market place we are ideally equipped to prepare such valuations.

Insurance valuations
We prepare detailed insurance schedules to enable clients to ensure that they are maintaining adequate insurance cover for their antiques, fine art and collections. These schedules can be backed up with digital images. We have access to specialist advice including Oil paintings and Water-colours, Silver, Jewellery, Oriental Works of Art, Antique Furniture and Ceramics.

Auction Services
We hold quarterly Antique and Fine Art auctions including a complete range of antiques and collector's items. We have benefitted from the trend in recent years for more important items to be sold outside London, where the costs of sale have rocketed. Catalogues are produced and circulated to prospective purchasers by post and E-mail and full details, including digital illustrations, are included this website and on the two other major UK auction web sites as well as on eBay. Buyers are attracted from all over the world.
