Andrew Swain MA MRICS is the Auctioneer and Valuer of our saleroom. As a member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors he is well qualified to help you with valuations for Sale, Insurance or Probate. With over 15 years of experience within the auctioneering business he is happy to give advice over the phone, in person or by email regarding any antique enquiries.
By train, the journey from London Victoria is around two hours and our saleroom is a ten minute walk from Chichester Railway Station. Chichester can also be reached from London Waterloo with a simple change-of-trains at Havant.

Baffins Lane can be found off of East Street, Chichester, one of the four main 'shopping' streets (with such stores as HMV, Thorntons, Topshop and Next) radiating from the Market Cross and at the 'opposite end' of the city from the Cathedral.We are in close proximity to several car parks including Baffins Lane, The Market Car Park and the Chichester District Council car parks.
We will be delighted to inspect and value items for future sales, free of charge and without obligation, at Baffins Hall, at your home for larger items or, for silver and jewellery, at your Bank if this is more convenient. We also specialise in providing written valuations for insurance, probate and family division.
The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 20%, plus VAT (VAT on the premium at the rate imposed by law) plus any additional charges as mentioned in these terms and conditions. Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with an asterisk or double asterisk.
If you have items you are considering selling by auction, we regularly hold free pre-sale Valuation Days at Baffins Hall. Find out more about Valuation Days. Alternatively, we will be pleased to visit your home for large collections and for items of furniture.
