Probate valuation · Halifax
Probate needs the home’s value on the date of death, not today’s price. In Halifax, average prices have moved 26.8% up over five years, so the date matters.





The short answer
Date of death
The average home today is £197,651. 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) | £183,344 | +7.8% |
| 3 years ago (Aug 2023) | £170,829 | +15.7% |
| 5 years ago (Aug 2021) | £155,899 | +26.8% |

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.
