Brettells Auctioneers & Valuers review

Assessed in Valuers in Telford

Rear of 58 High Street, Newport, Shropshire, TF10 7AQ · Service area: Newport, Telford

Brettells Auctioneers & Valuers in short

Brettells Auctioneers and Valuers is a different kind of valuer from the estate agents in this round: a Newport saleroom offering valuations for sale, inheritance tax and insurance, with weekly auctions as the natural exit. Our verdict is that Brettells suits clients with antiques, art or household effects to value and possibly sell. The enquiry form even accepts photographs of items.

Customer reviews are the weakest in the round on the only public source we hold, with a 4.2 rating from 107 Google reviews and nothing else on file. Full RICS membership is stated on its own about page, but no company record appears on Companies House and no prices or cover are published. Brettells remains one to consider for saleroom work rather than homes.

Questions about Brettells Auctioneers & Valuers

Is Brettells Auctioneers & Valuers any good?

For saleroom work, yes: it is the only researched valuer offering sale, inheritance tax and insurance valuations of antiques and effects with weekly auctions attached [1] [3]. It sits outside our ranked top ten and holds 4.2 from 107 Google reviews [6]. Read the full review and send item photographs through the enquiry form for an early view.

Is Brettells RICS registered?

Full membership of RICS is stated on its about page, alongside client protection and professional standards [2]. That is the firm's own statement on its website. No limited company appears for the business on Companies House, so there is no company record to check [5]. Ask about both when you enquire.

What does Brettells charge?

No prices, fee scale, call-out fee or VAT position are published on the pages checked [1] [3]. Auction commissions and valuation charges therefore emerge only on enquiry. Ask for the full breakdown, including what happens if an item fails to sell, in writing.

Where does Brettells work?

It works from its Newport saleroom and serves Newport and Telford, with opening hours, phone, email and an auction calendar all published [1] [4]. Sales are listed through September 2026. Send your postcode and item photographs together to confirm they can help.

How is Brettells ranked?

It was researched for our September round but sits outside the ranked top ten, which covers estate-agent valuers of homes. Read the full review alongside the scorecard, then compare its saleroom route with a high-street agent if you are valuing a whole estate.
