How does a probate valuation differ from an appraisal?
A sales appraisal suggests an asking price in today’s market. A probate valuation establishes the value at the date of death, with the assessment and supporting evidence set out in a written report.
Can you arrange a RICS Red Book report?
Yes. Tell us what your solicitor or other adviser requires, and we can arrange the appropriate specialist valuation.
Can a solicitor handle probate for us?
We can introduce solicitors who assist with probate applications and estate administration. They will explain their legal services, fees and terms directly.
How much will it cost?
The fee depends on the property and the work required. We agree the scope, cost and expected timescale before you proceed.
Which areas do you cover?
Our property work focuses on Dorset and the New Forest. Send us the property’s address or postcode so we can confirm how we can help.
