Probate Valuations Surrey

Nicholas Muston are an independent firm of professionally RICS qualified valuers and experts in probate valuations and jewellery valuations with many clients in the County of Surrey.

Serving every town in Surrey, including Guildford, Dorking, Epsom, Woking and Reigate, we cover a wide range of items and matters for valuation throughout the county of Surrey. Antiques, artwork and paintings, jewellery, silver and gold, furniture, porcelain and collectors items are just some of the many items we are asked to provide valuations for. We can also advise on more specialist fields of valuation like coins, stamps, books, medals, toys, antique guns, classic cars and musical instruments.

Many discerning clients are drawn to us by our excellent reputation and wealth of experience. For many years we have provided a fully confidential and consistently reliable probate valuation and jewellery valuation service to our clients in Surrey. Every client is different, and we remain sensitive at all times to your particular situation and specific needs.

We can visit your home anywhere in Surrey, should you require a jewellery valuation. We are able to facilitate sales direct to a jewellery collector, dealer or sell via the most suitable auction room available. Put simply, our aim is always to ensure we achieve the best possible price for your jewellery, whichever route to market we take.

Because we are an independent firm of valuers, we have the freedom to recommend the best place to sell to maximise the selling price of your items. This might be via auction or a private sale which can be brokered to a collector, museum or dealer, depending on the items involved. If auction is agreed as the best route to market then we do not charge, because our fee is covered by the auction house via an introductory commission.

We also undertake probate valuations in Guildford, Dorking, Epsom, Woking and Reigate and many other towns in the Surrey area, for solicitors, executors and beneficiaries. We also provide expert advice to executors and trustees in regards to valuations of chattels for Capital Gains Tax, the Acceptance in Lieu (AIL) scheme and Conditional Exemption.

All of our valuations of jewellery, antiques and chattels are done in accordance with Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984. Any valuations are fully compliant with HMRC, and are undertaken with sensitivity and discretion at all times by a RICS qualified art and antiques valuer.

Following grant of probate, we can arrange for the sale of some or all of the contents of a property either via auction or a private sale. If need be, we can also deal with any house clearance that may be required, ensuring that the property is left broom clean.

Our network of contacts in Surrey will help to ensure that your items are made known to the right buyers at the right time, whatever mechanism is used to sell them. This is critical as it means that they stand every chance of attracting the highest prices achievable.

Solicitors, accountants, insurance companies and many other relevant professionals recommend our valuation services due to our decades of experience, relevant accreditations and consistently excellent reputation. We are continually involved with high net worth insurers such as Dual, Hiscox, AIG, Axa and others.

Ensuring the best results possible for our clients is central to our business.
