Probate Valuation

I first contacted Richard after my Mum sadly passed away. He has supported me through the difficult process of clearing Mum’s house from the initial probate valuation through to coordinating items going to auction and then the final clearance. What was a very difficult and emotional time was made easier by him being on the end of the phone and supporting me making difficult decisions about my Mum’s belongings. I honestly couldn’t have got through it without him. He is professional, empathetic and listens to what you want or need and will help to find a solution. I would definitely recommend Richard." 
Mrs S.L. (Leicester).

House Clearance

When the time came to sell my elderly parents’ home, my sister and I were quite overwhelmed by the daunting challenge of clearing the house. We had little idea of what might be valuable and what could perhaps be sold. These items included antiques and fortunately we came across Richard’s advert. We asked him to sort out the whole process and from start to finish he was impeccably reliable. His considerable knowledge and thorough approach was invaluable. Thank you so much for taking care of everything!."

Estate Chattels Management

I'm very grateful to Richard for the professional way he dealt with the antiques and effects from my late father’s estate. He gave clear advice about how things should be disposed of and coordinated the whole project. He ensured that items went to the most appropriate auctions so that the best prices were achieved. As a family we were indebted for the support given to us at a very difficult time."

Country House Sale

Richard came to our country house in 2005 to prepare the 500 year farmhouse for a contents sale. This was a difficult task as one family had been living there for over 60 years and had amassed a huge collection of furniture, artefacts, paintings, china and glass and ancient clothes. This all needed to be sorted for a marquee sale on the lawn. Richard did this in a marvellously efficient manner which made the auctioneering of the contents so much easier and a very successful sale was affected. Many thanks from all of the family."
