At Harrison & Co., we specialise in uncovering hidden value. From antiques and fine art to Pokémon cards, retro video games, vintage toys and complete house contents, we help homeowners across Petworth discover what their belongings are really worth before they are sold, donated or disposed of.
Whether you’re dealing with probate, clearing a family home, downsizing, or simply curious about an item you’ve found in the loft, we’re here to provide honest, professional advice.
Why Have a Valuation Before a House Clearance?
Many valuable items are accidentally thrown away or sold for a fraction of their true worth.
We’ve seen valuable collections discovered in lofts, garages and spare bedrooms, including:
- Pokémon cards and trading card collections
- Nintendo, Sega and PlayStation games
- Vintage toys and LEGO
- Watches and jewellery
- Coins and medals
- Artwork and antiques
- Complete lifetime collections
A professional valuation before a house clearance could uncover items worth hundreds or even thousands of pounds.
