Probate valuation · Hove
Probate needs the home’s value on the date of death, not today’s price. In Hove, average prices have moved 4.2% up over five years, so the date matters.





The short answer
Date of death
The average home today is £408,240. If the death was some time ago, the value the estate needs is the one from then.
