PROBATEIf you have recently lost a loved one or you are professional administering an estate, then you may well need a formal probate valuation.
I am always happy to attend a property, without charging, to assess your needs. I can provide detailed probate valuation reports that will help you inform Inland Revenue of the value of the household contents and help you to decide what to keep or how to fairly divide items between you. I also give you advice on what to sell and what to dispose of. In many cases I also assist with the selling of chattels. |
SALESI can gladly sell items on your behalf, for a small commission of typically 5-10%. I achieve the highest prices for small collectables and antiques, for jewellery, silver and gold.
I will prepare your items for sale - cleaning and polishing them and making minor repairs where necessary. I will also arrange their transportation and I will select the best sale route to suit each item. I set reserves where needed and closely montior every sale. Sale proceeds are forwarded to you promptly. I provide you with a receipt for the items taken away and keep evidence of sale transactions and of any expenses accrued. |
INSURANCEIt is very important that you keep detailed records of your valuables including your artwork, jewellery, antiques and collectables. It is also essential that you make sure you have adequate insurance cover.
I can provide you with a full colour catalogue of your items detailing their condition and relevant information such as makers and history. I will provide you with both the current market valuation and the replacement valuation. I will also give you advice on maintaining your valuables and selling them on, if required. The cost of this service is negotiable but I usually charge around £100-200. I will agree this with you in advance. |
