Our Services

Auctioning

We will guide you through the auctioning process to ensure it is simple and hassle-free. Our team will appraise the value of your items and take care of everything, from cataloging your items for sale to running the auction. You’re in control during the process, and you can set a reserve (minimum) price that you’re happy with. If your items don’t sell, they will be returned to you.

Appraisal and Valuation

Our experienced team can provide specific valuations for items such as jewellery, as well as valuing contents and collections. We have a wide range of experts and a substantial database of sales to draw upon to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date pricing for your items.

Estate and House Clearance

We understand that losing a loved one can be an very stressful and difficult time, and one of the hardest things that family members have to go through is sorting through a lifetime of cherished possessions. Our sensitive house clearance service aims to alleviate the burden and make this difficult process easier and quicker for you. Our professional and experienced team remove all items from the property and sort them into three groups: those for disposal, items suitable for donation, and items that can be auctioned – either in our ‘estate and collectibles’ auction or in a dedicated specialist sale. We treat your loved one’s items with care and respect and do our best to try and find a new home for their items.
