Probate valuations
Our knowledgeable and friendly team provides written valuations for probate, including specific items, specialist collections, or valuations of whole house contents. All of our written probate valuations are compliant with the 1984 Inheritance Act.
Insurance valuations
Our insurance valuation reports for either specific items or specialist collections record their value for use in the event of theft, loss, or damage. Keeping these valuations up-to-date delivers peace of mind.
Family division
In circumstances where assets are to be divided, such as family or matrimonial division, you can rely on our confidential, discreet and impartial advice. Valuations offer a clear inventory to ensure a fair division.
Local & professional knowledge
