Probate
We act for all local solicitors and trustee banks in the preparation and issuing of certificates of value which are required by the Inland Revenue. In most cases this is a fairly simple operation which normally takes about an hour to complete.

Insurance
We are able to prepare full insurance schedules with photographs if required on entire or part household contents. Alternatively we can issue letters of value for individual pieces if requested.

Family Division
In some cases when a relative leaves an estate to be divided equally amongst the family, the entire contents will require valuation to ensure an even distribution of the chattels.
An inventory with current market realisation values alongside each item can be produced for this purpose with photographs if required.

Storage
We are able to provide short and long term storage for antiques and collectables either on site or via reputable companies if required.

House Clearance
Obviously when a house is being sold all the contents need to be dealt with, we offer a complete service whereby once the valuable items have been removed for sale by auction the residual effects, which have no commercial value, can be removed and disposed of in an appropriate manner. We can also arrange for the property to be thoroughly cleaned if required.

Removals

We provide this service for solicitors who have clients "Down sizing" their homes. An added advantage is that we can then auction any furniture and effects surplus to their requirements.

Clients

Private
We act with discretion in all cases, vendors names are not shown in our catalogue or online. All clients’ monies both professional and private are normally transferred within seven days of the sale taking place. All money held in out clients account is protected by an RICS endorsed insurance policy.

Solicitor and Banks

Bailiffs
