Valuations
12.1
Under the Agreement, the Company shall provide a valuation service regarding the photograph of an object submitted by the Client.
This service consists of giving an electronic estimate of the value of the object submitted which in the Company's opinion could be achieved if the object were to be sold without reserve on the open market at an auction with a reputable auctioneer after appropriate marketing.
The Valuation does not take into account any sale expenses, commissions and taxes (including capital taxes, duties, excises, value added or sales tax) which might apply or become due on a sale or transport of the object.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, the Valuation is based upon a preliminary inspection of the photograph of the item submitted and without any physical inspection, cleaning, restoration, detailed inspection or disassembly and without any research into the item's background or further tests and analysis.
The Valuation is a statement of opinion and not fact.
The Company gives no representation, warranty or guarantee in the Valuation in respect of an object's origin, provenance, attribution, condition, date, age or authenticity.
The Company makes no representation or warranty in the Valuation that the object will realise the amount at which it is valued upon a contemporaneous or subsequent public or private sale.
The Company does not warrant or represent in the Valuation that the object valued is safe, functioning or fit for the purpose for which it was intended.
The Valuation shall remain the copyright of the Company and shall be prepared only for the Client and is not to be used by any other person, or disclosed to any third party (other than the Client's professional advisors) or reproduced or published in any form without the Company's prior written consent.
The Client shall indemnify and keep indemnified for 21 years the Company and its affiliated companies, and its and their servants, employees and officers against all liabilities and expenses incurred by them as a result of any breach of the above commitment by Client or arising from related claims by third parties in connection with the Valuation.
The Valuation may not be used for official or formal purposes such as (without limitation) in legal proceedings, insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, divorces cases, for insurance purposes, or anything such like.
The Valuation is provided at a given date (the date the Valuation is sent to the Client). The Client shall have a perpetual non-transferable licence to the Valuation subject to the Company's right to revoke or withdraw its Valuation.
12.2
CLIENT'S OBLIGATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Client shall pay the Price for the Valuation to the Company.
The Client warrants to the Company that he is the owner of the object or is duly and properly authorised by the owner to have the object valued.
The Client warrants that each object submitted for valuation is free from any third party interests, restrictions or claims whatsoever.
The Client warrants that all material provided is owned by the Client or the Client has the right to use such material and provide it to the Company. The Client indemnifies the Company fully with respect to any breach of this warrant.
The Client shall provide clear and accurate photos and provide full and accurate information about the object, such as already known authenticity issues, relevant location of the object, provenance, condition, condition issues, previous sales history and any other related information, in the possession or knowledge of the Client, his agents, employees, servants, advisers or his family.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Information Density
0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence
0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof
0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint
0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority
0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score
0 / 100
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Information Density
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Semantic Alignment
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Trust & Proof
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Commodity Fingerprint
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Identity & Authority
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

43
BS / 100
Antiques.co.uk is a high-substance inventory database wrapped in a low-trust technical shell. While the items for sale are real and described with granular detail, the platform itself is a legal ghost ship that disclaims all responsibility for the very safety it implies. It is a functional directory, but its lack of verified reviews and presence of ‘test’ data signals a platform that is being maintained on autopilot.

Immediately remove all ‘test’ items from the production database to restore professional credibility. Implement Person schema for Iain Brunt and link to external authoritative profiles to bridge the authority gap. Replace the generic review_count with a verified third-party widget (e.g., Trustpilot) to eliminate trust theatre. Fix the heading hierarchy so H1 appears before H3 and remove repetitive boilerplate H3s that add no value to the page content.
The site perfectly aligns with the Marketplaces and Classifieds category, functioning as a multi-seller directory for antique dealers and private collectors. The content across category pages confirms this by displaying distinct items with pricing, seller locations, and inquiry options.
“The score of 43 reflects a site that provides high substance in its product data (preventing a higher BS score) but fails significantly in trust and authority pillars. The technical sloppiness (test data) and the deep disconnect between marketing promises and legal disclaimers are the primary drivers of the BS score.”
