Probate Valuation Services in Manchester

Manchester has a rich industrial heritage that has left many families with inherited collections of fine art, antique furniture and valuable timepieces. The Manchester District Probate Registry on Deansgate serves executors across Greater Manchester, and professional valuations are essential for estates containing items above the £1,500 HMRC threshold.

The city's thriving auction scene — including Capes Dunn, Marshall's of Manchester and regular sales at the Lowry — provides a strong basis for Open Market Value assessments. Our Manchester valuers are experienced in appraising everything from Northern School paintings to vintage Omega and Rolex watches.

Local Market Knowledge

Greater Manchester's industrial past means estates frequently include items linked to the region's textile, engineering and commercial heritage. Victorian and Edwardian jewellery, hallmarked silver and period furniture from the city's grand houses are common finds.

The area's strong gold and bullion market, centred around the Northern Quarter and surrounding areas, also means executors regularly need specialist precious metals valuations. Manchester's jewellery quarter has a long tradition of gold trading and assessment.

With regeneration driving property values upward across the region, more estates are crossing the Inheritance Tax threshold, making thorough valuation of personal possessions increasingly important for executors.
