Chilcotts Auctioneers

What does Chilcotts do?

The auction house, with its large saleroom in Honiton High Street holds specialist auctions, selling items on behalf of people who, for a variety of reasons, need or want to sell some of their possessions.

Chilcotts holds auctions of silver, jewellery, watches, gold coins, fine art (including pictures, ceramics and Asian works of art), good antiques, clocks and 20th century design; twice yearly it has sales of collectors items – a term that includes medals, militaria, toys, models and books.

Why come to Chilcotts?

The company employs a friendly team of trained and experienced specialists who ensure that items are correctly identified and valued; the company ensures that the lots are well publicised, attracting national and international buyers. If you are a seller (vendor) this means that your treasures will achieve the correct market value; if you are a buyer, you can rely on the descriptions of the lots.

Buyers benefit from a wide choice of quality lots, all beautifully and clearly displayed – auction novices are welcomed and guided through the process.

When should use Chilcotts’ services?

All types of people, in all types of circumstances, use Chilcotts’ valuation and auction services – these can be people who are down-sizing, families selling their late parents’ properties, individuals who want a change of look, couples furnishing a home, executors and solicitors, etc.

An auction is an efficient way of selling a large number of items all in one go, it’s a great place to find interesting pieces, and an environmentally friendly way of furnishing a home. The company holds an auction approximately every five to six weeks; valuation days are held every Friday.

How does selling/buying at Chilcotts work?

Chilcotts sells items on behalf of vendors, the vendors are charged a percentage of the hammer price (commission). Buyers are also charged a ‘buyers premium’ on top of the hammer price for all lots – though this still usually works out as a bargain compared to retail prices.

If you are wanting to sell, the first step is to arrange a valuation, if you are wanting to buy, just turn up to a pre-sale viewing day, come to an auction or visit the online catalogue.

Hope to see you soon!
