See below for full details*.<br> <br> For further information please refer to our “Services for Clients” link as it is essentially the same service.<br> Inventory and Market Valuation for Tax Purposes<br> <br> Once instructions have been received you can be assured of a prompt, confidential and accurate service.<br> <br> Inventory and Market Valuation for Beneficiary and Estate Family Division<br> <br> This valuation is essential to ensure that equal division is achieved between all beneficiaries and family members and this document confirms an Estate Division and is suitable to be used to form part of the Estate Accounts.<br> <br> <b>Verbal Valuation</b><br> <br> It’s a prudent professional who ensures that the contents of any property are not valuable. For a small fee we will visit a property and verbally confirm the value of the contents with a follow up single amount letter. Quite often it is the scruffiest of places that yield value which is not obvious unless you know what you are looking at.<br> <br> <b>Will Advice Valuation</b><br> <br> If you have a client who has substantial chattels and needs to be able to fairly distribute these chattels within their immediate family then in order to do this it is often wise to have an Inventory and Market Valuation done to prepare for this to happen when making a Will.<br> <br> <b>Act as an Arbitrator for Disputes</b><br> <br> In case of dispute or family division where there is either animosity or a difference of opinion or where the division of a family trust is needed.<br> <br> <b>Charity Valuation</b><br> <br> When an Estate is bequeathed to a single or several Charities every Charity involved will want to know the value of the contents. We offer a quick and prompt service to enable the Executor to account to these charitable beneficiaries.<br> <br> <b>Divorce Valuation</b><br> <br> To ensure that everything is settled amicably and seen to be fair. There is a big difference from the market value put on house contents – which is the right amount to deal with in this instance – and the value for insurance.<br> <br> <b>Overseas Executors and Beneficiaries</b><br> <br> It is important to include these executors and beneficiaries in the decision making process and to keep them fully informed particularly if there are only able to visit the UK once or twice to settle matters. (See link to Services to Clients for details and comments from past clients).<br> <br> Complete Sale of Residual Contents from a Deceased Estate*<br> (From a Country House through to a one-bedroom council property)<br> Inventory and Market Valuation Prepared<br> Family Takes What They Want<br> Searching, sorting and selling all household contents from valuable fine art and antiques to unwanted and unsaleble items. We deal with everything.<br> Contents can be stored for future division and/or sale<br> Collection and Disposal of all household chattels<br> Bequeathed Items delivered throughout the UK<br> All sale documentation provided and all items accounted for<br> When you are search and sorting out the house contents it is extraordinary what you will find. We ensure that all documentation, family photographs, bills, hidden money, and hidden jewellery, are all found and accounted to the Estate. Until everything is cleared away you often can’t see what is there!<br> <br> Everything is boxed up and sold where possible. Everything sold and whatever can’t be sold is donated to charity. All the sale cheques are issued to the Estate with the sale documentation to ensure total accountability.<br> <br> We ensure that the contents of barns, outhouses, sheds, garages, cellars, lofts and attics are not overlooked.<br> <br> We sell everything where it will sell best. It is not good advice to sell for example a good piece of early Worcester Porcelain for £450.00 at the same place you would sell a box of kitchenware for £10.00!<br> <br> Complete Sale of Residual Contents on Behalf of a Receiver/Power of Attorney<br> <br> When an elderly person moves into either Sheltered Accommodation or Residential Care it is essential that this is handled sympathetically and professionally and when this happens all the residual contents are sold (as above) and again everything is accounted and documented for the family.<br> <br> <b>SOLICITOR REFERENCES</b><br> <br> We have worked with many solicitors in the last fifteen years and should you wish to talk to a fellow professional about the services we provide we can supply you with a professional recommendation and references.<br> Clients</font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Verdana" size="2">We have a full range of valuations for every circumstance which is invariable different and dependent on family circumstances and these include:<br> <br> <b>Inventory and Market Valuation for Tax and Beneficiary Division Purposes</b><br> A valuation may be needed for tax purposes in accordance with the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 or a valuation simply to ensure that beneficiaries can divide inherited assets fairly.<br> <b>Will Advice Valuation</b><br> To ensure equal financial distribution for a new or proposed Will before the final signature to ensure that beneficiaries are treated equally. If you don’t have a valuation you don’t know how to be fair to your family.<br> <b>Beneficiary Division and Estate Family Valuations</b><br> Valuation to ensure that equal division is achieved between all beneficiaries and this document confirms an Estate division and is suitable to be used to form part of the Estate Accounts.<br> <b>Divorce Settlement Valuation</b><br> To ensure that everything is settled amicably and seen to be fair. There is a big difference from the market value put on house contents – which is the right amount to deal with in this instance – and the value for insurance.<br> <b>Insurance Valuation</b><br> This is based on replacement values and the cost of having to replace items either stolen or lost in fire or flood damage. An inventory is prepared and photographs taken of all items that need to be specifically listed for the correct insurance documentation.<br> Sale of House Contents or Residual House Contents for people who are:<br> Dealing with the contents of a property of a deceased relative or friend as Executor<br> Having to dispose of the contents for someone who has gone into residential care or sheltered accommodation as receiver with power of attorney<br> Moving Abroad<br> Downsizing<br> Selling a Property<br> We handle the complete sale of residual contents of properties whether it is from a large country house, a small cottage or a flat with full documentation and accountability. We ensure nothing is overlooked and whenever necessary all items are photographs (video or camera) in situ and an inventory prepared if necessary.<br> <br> We sell everything in your name and the resulting sale cheques are made payable to you. You can then see the description of each item sold and how much it fetched, when and where. We then charge our fees later.<br> <br> Our full service involves searching, sorting and selling all residual contents from the house and grounds on our client’s behalf. Everything is boxed up and sold. Everything! We ensure all documentation, family photographs, hidden money, hidden jewellery, is found and accounted to our clients.<br> <br> We ensure that the contents of barns, sheds, garages, cellars and attics are not overlooked.<br> Our most important find to date was found in a garage and sold for £64,000.00 and had been unrecognised for many years. Whenever necessary all items are photographed in situ and an inventory prepared.<br> <br> Fine Art and Antiques as well as collections and important works of art are sold through international, national, and specialist auction houses and also through regional and local salerooms.<br> <br> We sell everything where it will sell best. It is obviously not good enough for an important work of art or an item of high value to be sold at the same place as a table and chairs worth £60.00 and specialist collections need to be sold at specialist auctions.<br> <br> We also take care of the end bits and pieces by disposing of smelly cookers, day to day kitchenware, and all those unwanted items. Remember ten boxes of kitchenware selling at £10.00 each comes to £100.00 and it is surprising how quickly these amounts add up. Donations are also made to charity shops.<br> <br> Everything is professionally dealt with and accounted for with full documentation.<br> <br> <b>Overseas Executors and Beneficiaries</b><br> <br> It is very difficult dealing with an Estate if you live in another country. We are often instructed by clients who live abroad who can only find the time to visit the UK to deal with matters once or twice. There are also occasions where no-one can visit the UK (due to time and distance) and then it becomes more important to have someone to act on your behalf.<br> <br> We provide the necessary help and advice from the initial inventory to the final sale of the final item that families decide to sell and not to keep. Full documentation and photographs are taken to help that decision. Constant contact is made throughout the full process and full accountability is made to our clients. <br> <br> Arrangements are made to store items if clients are undecided what to do and arrangements are also made for shipping to their home country and the whole process is overseen with care and dedication to ensure that everything goes smoothly.<br> <br> This is a valuable service for those who have to deal with this difficult and often emotional situation from a distance.</font></p> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="347"> <tr> <td width="78"><font face="Arial" size="2">Contact:</font></td> <td width="269"><font face="Verdana" size="2">Sue Evans-Avlonitis Antiques Valuer</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="78"><font face="Arial" size="2">Telephone:</font></td> <td width="269"><font face="Arial" size="2">01206 323113</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="78"><font face="Arial" size="2">Mobile:</font></td> <td width="269"><font face="Arial" size="2">07761 248186</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="78"><font face="Arial" size="2">E-mail:</font></td> <td width="269"><font face="Arial" size="2"> <a href="mailto:sue@antiquesvaluer.co.uk?subject=Web page enquiry"> sue@antiquesvaluer.co.uk</a></font></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div>
