Inheritance / Probate
Valuation to help permit a sale and determine tax payable
When you're dealing with inheritance and probate, you're not just handling paperwork.
You're dealing with someone's home, their memories and often, a very emotional time for family and friends.
At Websters Surveyors, we believe the valuation process should make things easier for you, not harder. That's why our starting position is simple
You deserve a clear, accurate valuation that HMRC and you can rely on, so you can focus on the people and decisions that really matter.
We know that getting it wrong can mean delays, extra questions from HMRC or even paying more tax than you should.
Our job is to help you avoid all of that.
Our reports are formal "Red Book" valuations, prepared in accordance with RICS standards and accepted by HMRC, specifically for Inheritance tax and probate purposes.
Our reports don't just state a figure. They explain how we've arrived at it, using comparable sales and our detailed knowledge of the local market.
Crucially, we also take into account the real-world condition and circumstances of the property. If for example, the condition is poor, the tax should be less. Similarly, if the property was rented out on the date of death, then dependent on the circumstances, the tax may be even lower.
If you choose Websters Surveyors, you'll be looked after by an experienced RICS Regulated professional firm who carry out Inheritance tax valuations for probate on a regular basis. You'll receive a clear, compliant report that reflects the true position of the property and leaves you feeling confident that you're not paying more tax than is necessary.
With us, you'll have peace of mind that we'll be getting it right.
