Valuation Services

 

At Ottery Auction Rooms we undertake Written Valuations and Inventories for Probate, Insurance, Family Division, Private Treaty Sale and Taxation purposes. We carry out this work for Private Clients, Solicitors and Commercial Organisations.

 

Valuations can be for a single item to complete house or business contents. We can photograph the principal pieces, or full collections, should it be required.

 

Fees are based on an hourly rate and estimated in advance. Please Contact Us if you need to arrange a Written Valuation.

 

We also give free verbal auction valuations, these can be arranged at the auction room or on site. If you would like to know more about our free valuation service please contact us.
