Why do you need a Probate Valuation?

A probate valuation is necessary to accurately assess the value of the deceased's estate for Inheritance Tax purposes. It ensures compliance with HMRC regulations and helps prevent potential legal issues or penalties due to incorrect valuations.

Understanding Probate Valuations

A probate valuation is a professional assessment of a property's market value at the date of death. It's required by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to determine whether any Inheritance Tax is payable on the deceased's estate. Our RICS-registered surveyors in Risca provide accurate and compliant valuations to help you navigate the probate process smoothly.

Inheritance Tax and Probate Valuations

If the total value of the deceased's estate exceeds the Inheritance Tax threshold, currently set at £325,000, Inheritance Tax may be payable. A professional probate valuation ensures that the property's value is accurately reported to HMRC, avoiding potential fines or penalties for under-valuation. Our probate valuers in Risca provide detailed reports that meet HMRC's requirements.
