PROBATE & INHERITANCE TAX

Valuations for Inheritance Tax Purposes

Over the past decade property prices have steadily increased with average house prices in many parts of the country now exceeding £200,000.  As a result, and assuming a property is owned, more and more deceased estates are creeping towards the threshold of inheritance tax.  Recent changes in Inheritance Tax laws mean an increasing number of executors and beneficiaries are obliged to provide a professional valuation of house and the contents.

Inventory & Valuations

John Cameron Associates provide a comprehensive inventory and valuation service for both house and contents, compliant with the Capital Taxes Office, receiving regular instructions from solicitors, executors, and private individuals. 

Supporting Photographs

A full Photographic Identification Service is available in printed format or CD-ROM and though optional it is recommended in certain cases as supportive evidence.
