In order to provide the executors of a deceased’s estate with an accurate idea of the value of the contents of a property, valuations of this type are on an open market basis. I can also identify items that have been bequeathed for beneficiaries.
Valuations for probate usually follow an initial discussion with the client.
Arrangements for selling the antiques and fine arts at auction can also be arranged.
Valuations for deceased’s estates are always given priority for security reasons.

Can be carried out on your home contents or single works of art and include anything from furniture, pictures, silver, jewellery, china, and collectables, right down to the fitted carpets and curtains if this is appropriate.

Valuation fees are charged at an hourly rate. A quote for a valuation can be given prior to conducting the valuation with no obligation. All work is undertaken in the strictest confidence.
