Inheritance Tax Valuation
Inheritance Tax Valuation
Securing an accurate and independent RICS valuation is crucial for effective inheritance tax planning. Consult our experts to tailor our services to your specific needs.
Expert reports protecting your investment
It is important an accurate valuation of the property is undertaken as at the date of death, not only to assess probate taxation but also to protect you with future potential capital gains taxation, should you decide to keep the property.
Our valuation surveyors provide accurate reporting in a prompt manner and can liaise directly with your legal advisors where required. We also undertake retrospective valuations if the date of death was some time ago.
As our surveyors are local experts, we also know which local estate agents are best placed to serve you, should you wish to sell. We can explain the differences of using a local estate agent, online agent or auction service. We are here to help you through this stressful period, providing you with trust and confidence to embark on the sales process.
What is probate?
Probate is the process of dealing with the estate of someone who has died – which generally means clearing their debts and distributing their assets in accordance with their will.
What is capital gains tax?
Capital gains tax (CGT) is payable when you sell an asset that has increased in value since you bought it. The rate varies based on a number of factors, such as your income and size of gain. For residential property it may be 18% or 28% of the gain (not the total sale price).
