I’m back! When I packed up my loupe and scales to head on maternity leave last year the world was a very different place. We were still in the first lockdown and I know I was extremely hopeful that the pandemic would be over by Christmas. Alas, I’m back at work and the world is…

Asset Valuations – Just about Everything under the Sun
What do wedding dresses, tyre recycling machinery and three barns in a farmer’s field have in common? Not immediately obvious but they are all items Biddle & Webb’s asset valuation team have been asked to value. We supply specialist asset valuations and inventories to predominantly landlords and their advisors usually solicitors or accountants, so they…
Supporting Lord Mayor’s Charity & Acorns Children’s Hospice!
Biddle and Webb loves supporting local charities and last Friday was a unique night for us as a company. We were hosting two of the largest charity auctions on the same night. Jeremy was at Acorns selling lots of memorabilia from the Peaky Blinders set whilst I was supporting the team at the Lord Mayor’s…
Devotion and Daring: The Ladies of Llangollen
A mahogany chest of seemingly royal lineage has found its way to Biddle & Webb Auctioneers, Birmingham. Relatively unassuming at first glance, the box appears to be a typical example of a Georgian brass bound campaign chest. However, upon further inspection a fascinating history is revealed. Engraved into the corner plaques are four time-worn inscriptions:…

So, I’ve decided what better way to start 2019 than by rounding up the highlights from 2018. There…
Happy to go the extra mile…at least to Surrey
Biddle & Webb sell a property for £460,000. Not much of a news story as we are property auctioneers. However, if I take you behind the headline figure there is a story. It starts with me sitting in a solicitor’s office, a lovely Georgian building a mile or two away from our Birmingham saleroom. The…
Poppy Appeal
Remembrance Sunday, which falls on 11 November in 2018, is a day for the nation to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom. With Remembrance Day coming up, we would like to support The Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal by donating our vendor commission on the upcoming…

Who do we work for? Vendor or buyer…
As public auctioneers we act as a middleman between two customers: the vendor and the buyer, and we believe it is important to protect the interests of both parties – but how do we do this? For our vendors, we ensure a confidential, efficient and approachable service. For our buyers we have a transparent sales…
