The expertise of SafeGuard valuers is in increasing demand from sectors investigating the mis-representation and mis-selling of jewellery and watch items. They are also being used on a regular basis to provide a second opinion where there is disagreement over a valuation. In recent weeks SafeGuard valuers have arbitrated on valuations carried out by other professionals and assessed items on behalf of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, to give a second opinion on seized items. They have also been working closely with credit card companies trying to resolve disputes on behalf of their merchants, when the end customer feels an article has been mis-sold.   Operations Director Carla Goodfellow says “Our expertise coupled with complete independence makes SafeGuard an attractive option where there is serious disagreement over the value or identification of an item. We have no vested interest, all we want is a fair outcome which satisfies the end customer without causing detriment to the trade.” For more information on SafeGuard jewellery, watch and silverware valuation and consultancy services call 0871 871 6020 or email safeguard@theassayoffice.co.uk
