Valuations

INSURANCE

An insurance valuation estimates how much it would cost to rebuild your property from scratch. The calculation is based in using modern materials and techniques, and includes costs such as site clearance. It forms the basis of your buildings insurance policy.

PENSIONS

Periodic valuations of property assets are required to assess the extent to which assets accumulated are adequate to meet future liabilities. To ensure that the fund remains financially sound to meet benefit payments we recommend that these are carried out on a triennial basis.

PROBATE

When someone dies, the executors of their estate will often need a valuation of the property they owned. Probate valuations, as they are called, are then used to calculate inheritance tax.
