An Antiques Valuation in Hassocks: A Client's Story
My service is about more than just a transaction; it's about providing genuine expertise and going the extra mile. I recently visited a client in Hassocks for a home valuation of the 19th-century Chinese charger pictured here. He valued the convenience and my straightforward, knowledgeable approach. In his 5-star review, he wrote:
★★★★★
"I had an excellent experience with Wayne. He came to my home at a time that suited me, which made the whole process very convenient. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he really knows his subject. He quickly identified and valued a Chinese charger plate I was selling, and we agreed on a fair price, which he paid on the spot. The transaction was straightforward and hassle-free. I also showed him a few other items that we couldn’t reach a deal on at the time, but he went the extra mile by contacting his network to see if a better price could be achieved. I’ve really appreciated his proactive approach and the fact that he keeps in regular communication to update me on progress. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy antiques."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I had a brilliant experience dealing with Wayne at Antiques of Sussex. After one phone call, he came out to see me within two days to look at some gold and silver, along with a few smaller antique pieces.
Wayne is an excellent person to deal with, really warm, friendly, straightforward and genuinely fair. There was absolutely no pressure at any point, and the whole process felt relaxed and honest from start to finish.
I was very happy with the prices offered, which I felt were extremely fair. Payment was made instantly by bank transfer while Wayne was still with me, and everything was fully processed and completed before he left.
A really trustworthy and professional service, but also a very personal one. I would definitely use Wayne again, would happily recommend him to anyone, and will certainly be recommending him to friends and family myself.
A total five-star service from start to finish."
