Probate valuation · Cardiff
Probate needs the home’s value on the date of death, not today’s price. In Cardiff, average prices have moved 15.7% up over five years, so the date matters.





The short answer
Date of death
The average home today is £272,443. If the death was some time ago, the value the estate needs is the one from then.
| Date of death | Average home then | Change to today |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year ago (Aug 2025) | £266,750 | +2.1% |
| 3 years ago (Aug 2023) | £261,807 | +4.1% |
| 5 years ago (Aug 2021) | £235,540 | +15.7% |
| 10 years ago (Aug 2016) | £190,760 | +42.8% |

No. It is the value on the date of death. In Cardiff the average home has moved 15.7% over five years, so a value from the wrong date can be far out.
For a simple estate well under the Inheritance Tax threshold, agents’ written appraisals are often used. Where tax may be due or the value could be challenged, a RICS valuation is the safer choice.
