Valuation Services

Hampton & Littlewood provide written valuations for insurance, probate, open market, family division, Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax.

Insurance Valuations

Where instructed to undertake an insurance valuation, a bound document is provided, tailor made to the specific requirements of the client and the insurers.

Where appropriate, digital images are also incorporated into the valuation.

The fee for valuation is worked out as a percentage of the total of the valuation or on a time scale (which ever is the lesser).

Probate Valuations

As with the insurance valuations, Hampton & Littlewood provide a bound document (or multiple copies if required) detailing items within an estate.

We offer a complete service for executors, from the initial valuation to the clearance of an entire property.

Where necessary, arrangements can be made to store items at our saleroom, which we would strongly recommend if a property is empty.

If an estate is consigned for sale, the whole auction process will be overseen by our probate administrator, Rachel Littlewood, who will advise on sale dates, estimates and results and is always on hand to answer queries and give advice on any aspect of the estate. When the estate is completed a final statement is issued listing everything that has been sold, together with the hammer price achieved.

The fee for valuation is worked out as a percentage of the total of the valuation or on a time scale (whichever is the lesser). Where an estate is subsequently sent for auction, the original valuation fee (or part) is refunded.

Auction Valuations

Hampton & Littlewood are always happy to offer free verbal advice on items which are being considered for auction.

There is a general valuation day held every Tuesday between 10am and 4pm, where clients are invited to bring along items for valuation, with no fee or obligation.

There are also regular specialist valuation days held at the Auction Room for clocks, watches, jewellery, silver, pictures, ceramics, books & Collectables and Maritime & Sporting Items.

If there is furniture to be valued or there are several items, home visits are always available by appointment, again with no fee or obligation.
