When dealing with an estate, having an accurate property valuation is essential. At Skinner Holden, we provide professional Inheritance Tax valuations in Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire & Isle of Wight as well as the wider South East of England. Our valuations are carried out by a RICS Registered Valuer, ensuring they meet the required standards for HMRC and stand up to scrutiny if challenged by the VOA (Valuation Office Agency) for HMRC.
Inheritance Tax (Probate) Valuations in Sussex – What You Need to Know
When someone passes away, the estate must be valued to apply for probate and determine whether Inheritance Tax is payable. This includes assessing the market value of any property at the date of death.
A professional valuation is typically required when:
• The estate exceeds HMRC thresholds
• Property forms part of the estate
• Executors need a defensible valuation for tax purposes
• There is potential for HMRC review or challenge
We provide clear, evidence-backed Inheritance Tax valuations across Sussex and adjoining counties, ensuring the process is handled correctly from the outset.
