VALUATIONS

Plant and machinery valuations you can act on

We value plant, machinery, vehicles and stock for sale planning, restructuring and insolvency: honest figures grounded in what equipment actually fetches at auction.

Values from the saleroom, not a spreadsheet

A valuation is only useful if the market agrees with it. Because we sell equipment week in, week out, our figures come from real hammer prices for comparable assets, not indexed book values.

You get a clear written report stating what your assets would make at auction and what they might make given more time, so you can plan a sale, support a decision or satisfy a lender with confidence.

Valuations we provide

Pre-sale valuations

Thinking of selling? We value the assets first so you know what the auction should return before you commit.

A complete walk-through inventory and valuation of a site’s plant, stock and effects, item by item.

Insolvency & restructuring

Defensible valuations for insolvency practitioners, lenders and directors making difficult decisions.

When a valuation helps

Before a sale

Set expectations before an auction so reserve decisions are made calmly, not on sale day.

Business planning

Know what the asset base is worth when weighing a move, a merger or an exit.

Insolvency

Give practitioners and creditors figures that stand up, prepared by people who sell these assets.

Lending & security

Support asset-based lending conversations with realistic disposal values.

Partnership changes

An independent figure both sides can accept when a partner joins, leaves or retires.

Insurance

Sense-check declared values against what replacement equipment actually trades for.

Why our figures hold up

Live market evidence

Every figure is grounded in recent auction results for comparable equipment, not theory.

We stand behind them

We are often the ones selling the assets afterwards, so we have no reason to flatter the numbers.

Clear reporting

Written reports in plain English that accountants, lenders and courts can actually use.

Fast turnaround

Site visit to written report in days, because most valuation questions come with a deadline.
