Pippa Deeley Auctions

Since 2007, we have been the trusted choice for homeowners, executors, and collectors across the Kent and East Sussex border. As RICS-regulated Chartered Arts and Antiques Surveyors, we bridge the gap between professional surveying and the vibrant world of fine art auctions, ensuring our clients receive advice that is both commercially astute and technically rigorous.

Regulated Excellence in the Heart of Bodiam

Choosing a surveyor for your most precious belongings is a matter of trust. Because we are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, we adhere to the highest global standards of professional conduct and valuation accuracy.

Based in the historic village of Bodiam, overlooking the castle and heritage railway, we provide a calm, professional environment for our clients. Whether you are navigating the complexities of a probate valuation or looking to sell a single heirloom, we offer a personal touch that larger city firms often lack.

Specialist Jewellery & Fine Art Appraisals

While we handle a broad spectrum of items, jewellery valuation and appraisal is a core speciality of our firm. We understand the sentimental and financial weight these items carry, providing detailed reports for insurance, sale, or family division.

Our expertise extends across several categories, including:

• Silver & Metalware: From Georgian tea sets to modern commissions.
• Fine Art: Pictures, ceramics, and glass.
• Collectables: Clocks, watches, scientific instruments, and rare books.
• Works of Art: Sculpture and decorative objects.

Please note: To maintain our focus on these specialist areas, we do not handle furniture.

A Modern Approach to Traditional Auctions

We hold periodic Spring and Autumn sales at Court Lodge Farm. Our auction model is designed for the modern era; we keep overheads low and are not registered for VAT, which allows us to offer a highly competitive 20% inclusive buyer’s premium.

We have moved away from the "hustle and bustle" of traditional viewing days. Instead, we offer viewing by appointment at our Quarry Farm offices. This provides a quiet, well-lit environment where you can inspect lots at your own pace, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring a superior experience for serious buyers.

Professional Valuations for Every Requirement

Beyond the auction block, we provide comprehensive consultancy services for those managing estates or downsizing. We are frequently instructed to provide:

1. Probate Valuations: Professional, RICS-compliant reports for inheritance tax purposes.
2. Insurance Valuations: Ensuring your collection is adequately protected at current market replacement values.
3. **House Clearance Advi
