Chalkwell Actions have held regular sales at the Arlington Rooms, Leigh on Sea, since 1990 and at other venues around the county when the opportunity has arisen.

Our Reputation in Essex is second to none and we offer a very competitive commision rate of just 12^1/2% with the only additional cost being £1 per lot to cover lotting AND insurance,

We already carry out probate valuations and estate sales for a number of solicitors both in the immediate area and elsewhere in the country.

Although lotting, viewing and auction all take place on the same day we are now able to show images (without lot numbers) of some of the items coming up in our next sale.

If you wish to enter quality lots or enquire about our valuation service please call 01702 - 333640.

HOUSE CLEARANCE

We are able to offer a well priced house clearance service, already recommended and used by a number of local solicitors, on the basis of some or all of the items going to auction, being purchased outright or simply disposed of. The choice is yours and depends on the type and quality of items to be cleared In their eagerness to "get the house cleared" many people overlook items of value and it is our reputation for honest evaluation of each property which means we are second to none in the Essex area as both auctioneers and antiques dealers. For further information and advice please call us on 01702 - 333640

PROBATE AND INSURANCE VALUATIONS

Both Ridgeway Antiques and Chalkwell Auctions already carry out regular valuations for a number of local solicitors. Our fixed fee basis rather than the usual percentage charged by others means that we do not over value, which is very important for probate purposes and is recognised as fairer by Insurance Companies which have no basis for challenging the estimates when paying out. For estates we are also able to offer a subsequent service of full clearance of items to auction and/ or disposal. Where possible unsalable items are allocated to charities or re-cycling.

A typical local Probate Valuation will cost between £50 and £100 depending on complexity and our Insurance Valuations cost £50 for the first 5 items and £25 for each additional 5 items irrespective of their value. In both instances this is for a written valuation and includes any subsequent correspondence/negotiations with either the Inland Revenue or an Insurance Company.
