Probate valuation · Morpeth
Probate needs the home’s value on the date of death, not today’s price. In Morpeth, average prices have moved 24.1% up over five years, so the date matters.





The short answer
Date of death
The average home today is £213,113. If the death was some time ago, the value the estate needs is the one from then.

|---|---|---|
| 1 year ago (Aug 2025) | £203,973 | +4.5% |
| 3 years ago (Aug 2023) | £191,709 | +11.2% |
| 5 years ago (Aug 2021) | £171,666 | +24.1% |

No. It is the value on the date of death. In Morpeth the average home has moved 24.1% 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.
