Appraisal of Items

HRD Auction Rooms Ltd offer a free appraisal of any item you propose to enter into one of our auctions. The smaller items can be brought into our Brading salerooms on one of our valuation days. The dates are on our auction and valuation listings. If you have a large collection of items, or the pieces are too big to bring to the salerooms, we will be pleased to visit you at home. We offer a collection service at a reasonable charge.

Commission

A seller’s commission of 15% + VAT applies to each lot, along with a lotting fee of £2 + VAT per item.

Settlement

Settlement is normally made within three weeks of the auction, but we reserve the right to withhold payment until all lots have been paid for.
