As professional probate valuers, we offer a comprehensive probate valuation service for solicitors, executors and members of the public in London, Surrey, and South East England. Our Probate Valuation Guide provides more information on the the circumstances in which this is required and what is involved.
We will be pleased to guide you through the process from start to finish and will provide you with a written probate valuation, (Estate Valuation Report) in accordance with S.160 of the Inheritance Tax Act (1984). Establishing the probate value of an estate and house contents is essential, and this document will assist in the winding up process, because it is much less likely to be challenged by official organisations, such as the Inland Revenue.
We have all the expertise needed to provide accurate probate valuations of antiques, furniture, and collectables. Even when the contents or chattels have little or no value, we can provide a written probate valuation to reflect this, thereby easing the bureaucratic process and preventing possible overvaluation by a layman, which could result in overpayment of inheritance tax. We will always arrange for higher value items, works of art, and antiques to be assessed by a RICS chartered surveyor.
Our fees for providing an estate valuation report will vary, depending on the size and value of the estate. (See our Probate Valuation Guide for more details)
We are aware that the circumstances in which probate arises are often difficult and we handle the process with empathy and discretion. Our aim is to make everything as easy as possible.
After we have provided a probate valuation and you have received a Grant of Probate, we can provide a Full House Clearance Service, and thoroughly and comprehensively clean both the buildings and the garden, so as to minimise delays, and to simplify the process of the preparation of your property for sale or transfer.
