Valuation Of Fine Arts and Collectibles

​

The Critchco Group can provide valuations of household contents, including fine art, paintings, stamp, coin and book collections, toys, militaria, antiques and furniture, classic and veteran cars for the purposes of probate, insurance and divorce settlement. 

 

After such appraisals, we will provide a detailed and itemised “Written Probate Valuation”, prepared in accordance with S. 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act (1984), and HM Revenue and Customs guidelines. 

​

We are able to advise our clients of the ways in which we can assist with clearance, sales, disposals and dispersal of bequeathed items with our own dedicated and fully insured transport teams. Our approach and advice can help to maximise sale proceeds, (and client satisfaction) which, of course is in the best interest of the deceased estate and beneficiaries.

​

We do our utmost to provide highly professional support, the highest level of expertise and service with integrity, empathy and discretion.

​

Written reports can be provided for the purposes of Probate, Insurance & Divorce settlement.

​

We now also offer sale by Private Treaty, a useful option for those estates which may need the cash injection to cover costs such as IHT or maintenance, or where the estate has one executor / beneficiary. All of our written valuations now come with a letter of conditional offer of purchase. The offer also includes the costs involved including collection and clearance.

​

If you require any further information, please e-mail us with your requirements, property / chattels location and contact details.
