PROPERTY CLEARANCE
A complete chattels clearance service is available for solicitors,
executors and trustees. Following advice from our valuers, chattels
can be removed from a property without delay, minimising the risk
of burglary should the property be left unattended. Staff and
contractors will carefully pack all items and remove them for sale.
Items will be held free of charge in secure storage prior to
auction. Items of negligible auction value will be removed from the
property and disposed of at the request of the consignor.
SALES TO SUIT
A wide spectrum of auctions held throughout the year ensures your
property is offered to the best advantage.
We can provide country house sales on the premises for larger
estates or specialist on-site sales for businesses etc.
Our comprehensive calendar of auctions, all fully
catalogued, attracts buyers both nationally and
internationally.
