Biography

The Norcote Salerooms offer one of the most modern auction facilities in central/southern England. This purposely converted building gives us flexibility with collection, storage and delivery, car parking for over 200 vehicles and allows the opportunity for our Valuers to take in items in advance of sale to conduct considerable research and pre-sale advertising. There is easy access from the A419 off the B4425 Burford Road.

Auction Services
We give a complete auction service at our Norcote Salerooms. Our auction service provides free pre-sale advice and valuations including reserve advice, where required. We organise collection, house clearances and storage. We regularly send digital images and condition reports to potential buyers worldwide via email.

The Sales
At Norcote we offer a variety of specialist sales to include Selected Antique, Sporting and Picture sales. We also hold regular Antique and General sales. The General sales include antique and modern furniture, pottery, porcelain, glass ware, silver ware, scientific instruments, paintings, prints, rugs, bygones, collectables, etc.

Advertising
All sales are advertised locally and nationally in advance. Our catalogues are available a week prior to the sales and are sent out to our extensive mailing list and displayed on our website. This gives us access to a worldwide list of registered buyers. Subsequently all sale results are displayed on this site.

Insurance Valuations
With recent surveys finding that over 75% of households are dramatically under insured, the necessity for comprehensive insurance/replacement valuations has never been more important. Our Valuers help to ensure that claims, if they are necessary, are clearly defined by providing a full inventory and valuation which may be easily updated over the years, avoiding any confusion should fire, breakage or theft occur. Whilst retrospective valuations are possible, and quite often carried out, they are at best difficult and a poor second to being prepared!

Probate/Inheritance Tax Valuations
Much of our valuation work is concerned with Probate and Inheritance Tax, an area which can require a great deal of tact and a sympathetic ear. Our Valuers have much experience in this field, providing a service tailored to meet all requirements of Executors, be they family or solicitors and beneficiaries. Following probate it is often required that we arrange for the sale of items, organising transport, storage, shipping and/or entries into one of our well respected auctions at our purpose built salerooms located on the outskirts of Cirencester.

Location
The Norcote Salerooms are accessed off the B4425 Burford Road, approximately 300 yards on the right hand side after passing the Fosse Corner traffic lights.
