Services

Our team of auctioneers and specialist experts is at your disposal to advise and assist you in the valuation, transmission and sale of your property, in accordance with the professional and ethical standards governing auction houses.

01

Auctions

Through the competitive process it creates between buyers, public auction remains the most secure and effective way of achieving the best possible price for a property, both on the national and international market.

Valuations for sale purposes are complimentary and strictly confidential. They may be carried out at our valuation office, open Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., online or at your residence by appointment.

02

Division of property

Only an inventory established by a certified auctioneer can ensure a fair and indisputable division between the parties involved.

Our fees range from 1% to 2% excl. VAT of the total valuation amount, depending on the chosen procedure.

In the event of a sale within six months following the valuation, the valuation fee is fully reimbursed.

03

Inheritance

In the context of inheritance matters, the valuation of furniture and personal property through an auctioneer’s inventory allows heirs to avoid the flat-rate 5% valuation applied by the French tax administration (Article 764 of the French General Tax Code).

Collaboration between our auctioneer and your notary contributes to aligning inheritance duties with the actual market value of the assets.

Service fee: €500 excl. VAT.

04

Insurance valuations

Valuations may be carried out before or after a claim. In cases of theft, water damage or fire, insurance companies require proof of ownership and value of the damaged property, with the burden of proof resting on the insured party (Article 1315 of the French Civil Code).

ROSSINI is authorised to establish, at your residence, a descriptive and estimated inventory of valuable objects, precious items and furniture.

This valuation enables your insurer to offer coverage adapted to your assets and provides the necessary documentation in the event of a claim, ensuring compensation at fair value.
