Whatever your requirements, whether you are considering selling, require a formal Insurance or Probate valuation, or need specialist Fine Art Investment advice I offer speed of service, confidentiality, and above all that personal touch.

Probate and Family Division Valuations

Speed, diplomacy and accuracy are the most important factors with most probate/IHT valuations, and once received instructions are carried out with priority. The aim is to minimise as far as possible, concern, stress and the work of the Executor. In most cases documentation will be delivered within days of the valuation at a very reasonable cost to the Estate.

Insurance and Market Valuations

Like any commodity over a period of time the value of Antiques and Works of Art can change dramatically. It is especially important that you are aware of the value of these items to ensure that you are adequately covered in case of accident or loss.

Professional Fees.

Where professional confirmation is required that a deceased property is of little commercial value written valuations start from £75.

Otherwise Non complicated valuations (under £25K)... £150-£200 (Probate)
£25-£35K... £350 (Probate)
1-2% (dependent on numbers of items) thereafter up to £100K….Higher valuations negotiable. (Antique and Fine Art)
All Fine Art/ Antique valuation documentation may include photographic records on either Computer floppy discs or CD Rom.
