Estates
If you are dealing with household effects due to relocation or family circumstances, we can advise you which objects are suitable for auction, whereby goods (art, antiques, design, jewellery and silver) go to the highest bidder.
Viewing an inventory to assess its suitability for auction is free of charge.
Regarding official valuation reports for insurance, succession or division, please find the rates at the bottom of this page.
Costs of seller's commission can be found on our page "How to sell".
House clearances
We can arrange house clearances. Houses will be cleared out and made ready for a new tenant or buyer.
Costs of house clearances are quoted in advance, without any obligations.
As homes often have to be cleared out on short notice, we can act fast.
