HMRC Requirements
Why Professional Valuations Matter
When someone dies, their estate must be valued for Inheritance Tax purposes. HMRC requires a professional valuation for any single item worth over £1,500 — and the valuation must reflect Open Market Value, not insurance replacement value.
Open Market Value is the price an item would fetch if sold at auction on the open market on the date of death. This is typically lower than insurance value, which means a correct probate valuation can reduce the estate's tax liability.
Using an unqualified valuer — or estimating values yourself — puts you at risk of HMRC enquiries, penalties, and personal liability as executor.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a probate valuation?
A probate valuation establishes the Open Market Value of personal possessions at the date of death. HMRC requires professional valuations for any single item worth over £1,500 as part of the Inheritance Tax process.
Do I need a professional valuation?
If any single item in the estate is worth more than £1,500, HMRC requires a valuation from a qualified professional. Even below this threshold, a professional valuation protects executors from personal liability if HMRC queries the declared values.
How long does a probate valuation take?
Most valuations are completed within 5–10 working days. The valuer will inspect the items (either in person or from detailed photographs), research comparable sales, and produce a formal report suitable for HMRC.
