Probate Valuation Services in London

London estates frequently include high-value personal possessions — from fine jewellery acquired in Hatton Garden to art collected through Mayfair galleries and watches purchased on Bond Street. As the UK's largest probate district, the London Probate Registry at High Holborn processes thousands of applications each year, and executors face particular pressure to ensure valuations are HMRC-compliant.

With auction houses such as Christie's, Sotheby's and Bonhams headquartered in London, Open Market Value assessments can draw on extensive local sale records. Our network of London-based valuers includes members of the NAJ, IRV and RICS with deep expertise in the capital's diverse asset types.

Local Market Knowledge

London's property market means many estates exceed the Inheritance Tax threshold, making accurate valuations of personal chattels even more critical. Items that might seem modest in isolation can collectively push an estate above the nil-rate band.

The capital's multicultural heritage also means estates often include items with specific cultural significance — from South Asian gold jewellery to Chinese ceramics and antiques — requiring valuers with specialist knowledge beyond general practice.

Executors in London benefit from the concentration of specialist valuers in the city, but must still ensure their chosen valuer provides Open Market Value rather than insurance replacement value. This distinction can mean significant savings on Inheritance Tax.
