Should you expect the contents to be over that figure of £1,500, a formal valuation must be completed by an independent valuer who will assess each item and determine its worth on the open market.
This valuation is a reflection of what an asset might reasonably fetch if it was sold on the open market at the date of death and should be based on guidance provided by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The valuer may also recommend selling certain items if they are deemed to be of high value or no longer required by the estate.
Individual items that are worth more than £1,500 need to be listed individually, whereas items below this threshold can be grouped together.
Clear This Ltd can provide complete contents valuations based on current markets. This can be a time consuming job so we photograph items and look at the condition on site.
We then return to our office and prepare our inventory with values which will then be emailed to the executor / solicitor dealing with the estate.
Our family-run business maintains family values, we refuse to be corporate and faceless.
when we quote to clear a property, we look at the volume first, then any applicable surcharges such as Mattresses, Old Fridges / Freezers etc. This will give our cost of clearing.
We then look at the value in the property. Any value is subtracted from the cost. Should the value exceed the cost, we would pay the difference to the estate.
Our house clearance service includes ( if required ) all outbuildings, lofts, cellars and garden furniture / ornaments.
We will buy jewellery at better prices than your local high street gold buyer too.
