In the beginning of April, we had to opportunity to put on an auction for a property in West Bromwich. The house that stands at 39 Springfield Crescent was rough around the edges, but all this 3-bedroom semi-detached home needed was a buyer with a vision for its potential. Through our hard work and personable…

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…
How should one value a property – or is it just licking your finger?
I have discovered that the property market is awash with self-proclaimed experts. Recent Biddle & Webb auction successes confirm what, in reality, we already know: in a crowded saleroom, it is ultimately the buyers who set the price when the gavel falls. Our recent sale of an end terrace house on Moor Green Lane is…
Why we never accept cash offers like estate agents
On Saturday 12th October we auctioned two more fantastic properties in Birmingham and we are delighted to say both properties sold! However, it is the story behind the first property that we think is of interest. I came into the process after members of the family had almost agreed to market the property located on…
Supporting Lord Mayor’s Charity & Acorns Children’s Hospice!

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…
Mid-Year Update
What a year so far. Its difficult to know where to start. I could talk about our commercial success and about the steady increase in our weekly sales. I could also talk about the success of our property sales and the rise in jewellery and watches from our new valuation office in the Jewellery Quarter. However…
TO THE FUTURE!
James Quarterman I’m in my third and final year of undergraduate study, where I have specialised in the history of artworks produced in fifteenth and sixteenth-century Italy and Northern Europe, and nineteenth-century European capitals (with a bit of twentieth/twenty-first century British and American modern art on the side). These periods of art history have always…
Probates
Probate valuations are a very important service we offer at Biddle & Webb. A probate has to be undertaken with professionalism, sensitivity, organisation and speed from start to finish. So we start with the initial first telephone call or sometimes e-mail, either from a Solicitor or Executor to an estate. The most frequently asked questions…
