Valuations for Probate and Inheritance Tax

After an individual has passed away, it is usual for the deceased person’s family to ascertain a value of their assets and possessions (also known as their estate). Where an estate includes property, a Valuation Report will usually be required as part of the Probate process.

Specialist Valuations

Valuation reports are usually undertaken when purchasing a property or land. However, there are instances when a specialist report can assist and these include:

  • Boundary disputes
  • Ransom Strips
  • Backdated valuations for tax purposes
  • Off market disposals/ acquisitions
  • Compulsory valuations for acquisitions by Councils
  • Matrimonial valuations

…plus many more. If in doubt, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Valuation of Property for Matrimonial and Divorce Settlements

When a married couple decide to divorce it will be necessary to ensure that a fair financial settlement is reached. As the matrimonial home is usually a significant asset, its value will need to be agreed.

Land Valuations

Land can be a valuable commodity – especially if there is an interest in developing it into housing. There are two recognised approaches to the valuation of development land:

  • Comparison with the sale price of land for comparable development;
  • The residual method – which involves an assessment of the value of the scheme as completed and deduction of the costs of development (including developer’s profit) to arrive at the underlying land value.
