Insurance & Probate Valuations

Probate Valuations for Auction

Dealing with probate can be an emotional, complex and time-consuming process, especially with ongoing delays at the Probate Registry. Families and beneficiaries often seek a faster yet reliable way to settle debts or distribute assets.

Valuations for Auction 

We have extensive experience working with Executors and Solicitors to simplify the valuation, auction, and clearance process. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and efficient experience while maximising value for the estate.

Our team of professional appraisers specialises in probate valuations. With over 25 years of industry expertise, we provide accurate, fair market valuations for all valuable items. Every item of significance is carefully recorded to ensure the estate receives the highest possible return.

Whether you are selling items before probate is granted or working with administrators post-probate, we handle everything from valuation to auction. Once agreements are in place, we take high-quality photographs, provide detailed descriptions, and set competitive reserve prices to attract strong bidder interest and maximise sale value.

Auctions

As a leading UK auction house, we offer online, telephone, and in-person bidding, ensuring high attendance and competitive bidding. This increases the chances of achieving the best sale prices.

We provide complete transparency regarding fees, commissions, and terms—so there are no surprises at the end. Our team is here to guide you through the process with expert advice.

Insurance Valuations

Once items have been valued, probate valuations give you an idea of the sale value of your loved one’s possessions. This helps you decide whether to sell them or ensure the estate is divided according to their wishes.

We offer written and illustrated insurance valuations for single items or entire house contents, suitable for your insurer. Whether it’s a rare timepiece, bespoke jewellery, fine art, general furnishings, household goods, or another valuable possession, we ensure precise, up-to-date valuations that reflect ever-changing market dynamics.

Buying Probate Items

If you're interested in purchasing probate items at auction, please review any legal restrictions or conditions before bidding. All items are sold “as-is”, meaning there are no guarantees on condition, ownership history, or future liability.
