A degree of detail, etc., required can be tailored to particular purposes. Individual colour prints can be incorporated into the report where required.

CONTENTS INSURANCE

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.
