APPRAISALS & AUCTIONS
Consider the contents before deciding their future.
Furniture, antiques, jewellery, art and collectables may have resale potential. HCP Auctions can consider suitable items for appraisal and discuss auction sale or direct purchase alongside the practical arrangements for the property.
Identify items to discuss
Mention possible saleable items when you first enquire. Photographs can provide a useful starting point, together with any information already known about the pieces. Belongings the family wishes to retain should be identified separately, whatever their potential value.
Understand the route and relevant fees
Different items may call for different arrangements. We can discuss auction sale or direct purchase where suitable, including the fees and practical steps involved. An estimate is not a guaranteed sale price, and not every item will have a resale value.
Consider the overall clearance cost
Depending on the contents and agreed fees, the value of suitable items may help reduce the overall cost of clearance. We will discuss the options so the authorised estate representative can make an informed decision.
Raise formal valuation requirements early
If the estate requires a formal valuation for probate, explain the requirement before arranging clearance. An auction appraisal serves a different purpose, so the appropriate next step should be discussed at the outset.
