militaria, sporting items (and much more). We market to a huge global audience,
streaming all of our auctions online through two platforms - creating a
competitive bidding environment to ensure that our clients achieve the maximum and
true value of their items.
In addition to conducting
sales at the auction rooms, we provide a bespoke service and can hold auctions

Probate Services
Arranging the valuation and
sale of the items belonging to a loved one can be daunting, difficult and
distressing, especially when dealing with their treasured possessions and house
contents. Many of the team have direct experience of handling these matters and
we act with empathy and are there to support and guide.
We can provide a complete and
seamless service to take care of every stage of the process, recognising the
needs of executors, beneficiaries, legal advisors, solicitors, estate agents
and other professional services.
The services we offer
include:
- Preparing an HMRC compliant valuation report of the contents of a
home
- Identifying those items that are saleable
- Working with our approved couriers and hauliers
who can bring items to the auction rooms for sale
- Recommending house clearance contractors who will
clear all of the unsaleable items that are not suitable for auction;
recycling them or donating them to charity as you so wish and aiming to
keep waste to a minimum. The property will be left clean and tidy.
Our property experts can also
provide valuations for inheritance tax purposes either as a market appraisal or
a formal red book valuation and market the property delivering a comprehensive
marketing service.
In assisting clients through
these difficult times, we are able to provide a one stop, seamless service that
helps to alleviate the stresses involved.
House Clearances
Whilst we do not conduct
house clearances ourselves, we can recommend approved contractors who can arrange
saleable items to be taken to the auction rooms and for all other items to be
removed.
