Auctions

Through the competition it generates among buyers, public auctions are the most secure and effective way to obtain the best price for an item, both nationally and internationally.

Valuations for sale are free and strictly confidential. They can be conducted at our valuation office, open Monday to Friday from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, online, or at your home by appointment.

Distribution

Only an inventory drawn up by a licensed auctioneer can guarantee a fair and indisputable distribution between the different parties.

Our fees range from 1 to 2% excluding VAT of the assessed value, depending on the chosen procedure.

If the item is sold within six months following the valuation, the full amount of the valuation is refunded.

Inheritance

In the context of an inheritance, valuing your furniture through an auctioneer's inventory allows you to avoid the 5% flat rate applied by the tax authorities (Article 764 of the French Tax Code).

Collaboration between our auctioneer and your notary helps adjust inheritance duties to their real value.

Fee: €500 excl. VAT.

Insurance Appraisals

Pre- or post-loss appraisals. In cases of theft, water damage, or fire, insurance companies require proof of the existence and value of the affected items, with the burden of proof on the insured (Article 1315 of the Civil Code).

ROSSINI is authorized to carry out, at your home, a detailed and estimated inventory of your valuables, art objects, and furniture.

This appraisal allows your insurer to offer coverage tailored to your property and meets the proof requirements in the event of a loss, ensuring fair compensation.
