Valuations

House Clearance

Together with trusted clearance partners we are able to provide a full house clearance service from top to bottom, no matter how big or small the property.

We will initially visit the property to identify items suitable for auction. We will then collect and deliver the saleable items to our saleroom ready for cataloguing, photographing, marketing and auction.

You can then arrange with the clearance company to remove the unsaleable contents.
Where possible, unsaleable items will be given to charity or recycled, leaving the property clean, tidy and ready to go on the market.

We offer:
● All saleable items sold in our salerooms
● A prompt and efficient service

Valuations

It’s easy to have your items valued by our team.

If your items are suitable we will then provide you with an auction estimate and details of how to sell with us. We can then organise safe collection of your items if you cannot deliver them to our saleroom.

There are three ways you can get your items valued:

  • Complete a valuation form with a description of your items and add any photographs in the space provided
  • Email a photograph of your item, including as many relevant details as possible to info@tsauction.co.uk
  • We are open by appointment for informal drop in valuations Monday to Friday. Please telephone 0118 950 8611 or email info@tsauction.co.uk to make an appointment.

Larger or bulky items can be appraised during a free home visit by one of our specialist valuers. Please telephone 0118 950 8611 or email info@tsauction.co.uk to make an appointment.

Probate

We understand that it can be a difficult and distressing time when arranging the estate of a loved one, but a full written probate valuation of the chattels is not only a legal necessity, but something that can save you a great deal of money and time. We have a very sympathetic approach and aim to make this process as simple as possible.

We will produce a full inventory of all the items within a property, from furniture to jewellery and everything else in between. We take photographs of every room alongside more detailed photographs of specific, higher value items which are kept on record for our clients.

We provide a complete probate valuation service for executors, solicitors and trustees. All of our values are based on realistic market prices, which is important because this is the figure used to calculate any inheritance tax liability. A quick and efficient service is important and we can usually attend the property within a few days. All our reports are based on open market values, in accordance with Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act and are HMRC compliant.

Once probate has been granted, we will be able to sell all of the saleable items for you, and carefully dispose of any unsaleable ones. We use our own in-house van, and together with local trusted carriers we can collect single items or clear whole properties.

We typically charge £300 + VAT for most small to medium sized properties. However this fee may be partially waived if items are being sold through us. You will receive printed hard and digital copies to provide to your solicitor and HMRC when filing for probate.

Insurance Valuations

Our valuers conduct fully illustrated, written insurance valuations for single items through to whole house contents. A professional valuation provides peace-of-mind and ensures you are properly covered, whilst ensuring you are paying the correct premiums.
