Probate Valuation House Clearance

• Our director has carried out countless probate valuations for all types of properties and contents over the past decade.

• If you require a 'house contents valuation for probate' following a bereavement, Featherstone's can cater for your requirements. We work with local solicitors and executors, producing high quality headed documentation in both email and print form.

• We offer both a formal and informal service and will waiver our probate valuation fee's if we are given the opportunity to purchase or auction the goods valued.

• We use our extensive knowledge and can value an entire estate including all the possessions and contents from general furnishings to antiques and collectables including some of the below;-

 

• Jewellery -  9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct, 24ct gold, white gold, platinum, rings, wedding bands, necklaces, bracelets, ear rings with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, amethysts.

​

• Once the probate valuation has been carried out, we can place a total figure on the contents. If this total figure is under £1500, you officially do not need to provide a document for HMRC, but they may still ask for evidence such as photographs.

• If we identify any works of art, jewellery or vehicles for example that have a value over £1500 alone, these will need to be listed on the IHT400 document.
