Deceased estate liquidation
Paul Jones and Fine Antiques helped us sell items from my father’s estate. It was a stressful time and Paul could not have been more considerate and highly professional in his assistance to us. I have no hesitation in emphatically recommending Paul and Fine Antiques for their top quality services. Big thanks.

Paul & Bridget changed my whole world. After a long period of battling my insurance company, I approached Fine Antiques and felt immediately relieved. The insurers agreed to use their services as an independant final decision. All I can say is, if you are having difficulty then ring Fine Antiques, you will not regret it.
Lynda Stewart, Christchurch
I have engaged Fine Antiques - Antiques & Estate Valuers for valuing antique dinner sets, water sets and ornaments damaged by two of the Canterbury earthquake events. I have found their service helpful, convenient and prompt to use and this made the contents claims challenges easier to cope with. I am very pleased to recommend their specialist service.

MacDonald Paul Gourlie, Dunedin
It was good meeting you both, thank you for the professional manner in which you approached our family home, I really appreciated that you were able to get on with the work without requiring my input as this left me free to get on with my tasks at hand and honour our memories.
Jane Workman, State Insurance
I have used Fine Antiques on two occasions and both times have been impressed with the level of friendly professional service. A lot of effort and detail goes into providing an accurate estimate of items, even down to providing where they can source a replacement if possible. I would highly recommend using Fine Antiques if you are looking for a comprehensive accurate valuation.
Kirsty Hamilton, Southern Response
I am responsible for the earthquake related contents claims for Southern Response – the government owned company responsible for handling and settling the earthquake claims of AMI Insurance policyholders. I had heard good reviews from colleagues about Fine Antiques and decided I would make contact as I needed assistance with a claim.
