Probate & Estate Services

A Specialist Probate Solution

We offer a bespoke probate service, tailor-made for executors and solicitors dealing with vintage advertising and petroliana collections.

Our proposition is based specifically around the specialist collector and we offer well-informed valuations based on significant experience in the category. Our fees are low on both sides - a 16% Buyer’s Premium and a 10% seller’s commission - so more of each result reaches the estate.

Our team will make the process easy and stress free, and our database of valuations and transparency of information has been designed to put everyone’s minds at ease and engender confidence that we will deliver.

To book an appointment, please call us on 07415 191 494 or email info@apsaleroom.com.

A 3-Step Process

1. Valuation

One of our valuers will visit the property and produce a detailed HMRC-compliant probate valuation report. All items of value are recorded at a fair open market value.

2. Collection

Our operations team will attend the property and handle all items with sympathetic care using specialist packing where required to ensure everything arrives protected and undamaged into our holding facilities where they will be stored and prepared in readiness for the first available auction.

3. Sale at Auction

We will auction all saleable items that are not being kept or bequeathed; our goal is always to extract and maximise as much value as possible for the estate.
