Probate valuation · Hereford
Probate needs the home’s value on the date of death, not today’s price. In Hereford, average prices have moved 17.6% up over five years, so the date matters.





The short answer
Date of death
The average home today is £291,495. 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) | £285,981 | +1.9% |
| 3 years ago (Aug 2023) | £283,209 | +2.9% |
| 5 years ago (Aug 2021) | £247,852 | +17.6% |
| 10 years ago (Aug 2016) | £203,143 | +43.5% |

No. It is the value on the date of death. In Hereford the average home has moved 17.6% 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.
