A THREE STEP PROCESS

1. Valuation

One of our valuers will visit the property and produce a detailed HMRC-compliant probate valuation report. All items of value are recorded at a fair open market value.

2. Sale at Auction

We will auction all saleable items that are not being kept or bequeathed; including art, antiques and jewellery. Our goal is to extract and maximise as much value as possible for the estate.

3. Property Clearance

Our house clearance team will clear the whole property, donating items to charity and recycling where possible, leaving the house completely empty, tidy and ready for sale.

For free and confidential advice please contact Aubrey Dawson on 07939 133427.
