While auction sales represent the major part of the business, HARTLEYS is also heavily involved in valuation work of every kind.
Valuations for sale are carried out at Victoria Hall and at clients' or family division are completed sympathetically and discreetly in own premises, usually free of charge.Valuations for probate and order that estates can be wound up without delay and with the minimum of duty payable.
Insurance valuations and inventories are also performed economically in order that not only are insurance premiums kept at a realistic level, but also so that should a claim have to be made in the future, the insurance company will be encouraged to pay out the appropriate amount without delay. The right kind of inventory is as important here as the correct valuation and can be updated at reasonable intervals for minimal cost.
