I needed a probate valuation of the contents of my late father's property, but had no idea where to start, but within 3 days of calling Jeffrey Avery and Associates, a RICS valuer had visited the property and sent me a full written report, which was subsequently accepted by HMRC without problems.
I would not hesitate to recommend this service to anyone in the same situation. Read more testimonials
