| CHATTEL VALUATIONS AND INVENTORIES |
Tawn Landles Auctioneers and Valuers are the
established providers for the specialised service for valuations and
inventories for a variety of clients and purposes. We are regularly carrying
out valuations of entire property contents, selected items or single pieces.
Valuations can be provided for insurance, Probate, Inheritance Tax,
matrimonial purposes, etc.
Inventories are prepared, individually
listing items using referenced on a room by room basis with itemised
valuations. These are in a format to allow for easy hack reference and
updating. A degree of detail, etc., required can be tailored to particular
purposes. Individual colour prints can be incorporated into the report where
required.
It is important that contents insurance is
kept up to date and should be reviewed every three years particularly where
antiques and object d’art are concerned. The growth in values of such items
in most instances outpace the usual indexing applied. We strongly recommend
to all home owners particularly with antiques to get up to date appraisals
if it has been some time before the last valuation.
