Probate valuation · Sheffield
Probate needs the home’s value on the date of death, not today’s price. In Sheffield, average prices have moved 19.2% up over five years, so the date matters.





The short answer
Date of death
The average home today is £217,603. If the death was some time ago, the value the estate needs is the one from then.
