    Nicholas & Co Chartered Surveyors Save Client Over £300k with Expertise in Inheritance Tax Valuation

    Published: 09/04/2024

    Author: Why Media

    Nicholas & Co Chartered Surveyors demonstrated their expertise in Inheritance Tax Valuation, resulting in substantial savings exceeding over £300,000 for a client. Utilising their extensive experience and knowledge, the team accurately assessed the client's asset for Inheritance Tax (IHT) purposes. Their careful valuation process, involving a thorough review of documents and on-site inspections, ensured a fair market rate solution, using specialist techniques to significantly reduce the client's tax bill.

    An inheritance tax valuation is a valuation undertaken by an RICS qualified chartered surveyor and is used to determine the tax that must be paid on an estate before it passes on to the beneficiaries.

    Initially valued at a higher rate, the property in question underwent a thorough inspection, considering attributes including size, location and specification to ensure a fair market rate. Additionally, Nicholas & Co. assessed data from similar properties in the area, considering their sold values to place a value on the subject property.

    Nicholas Zorpidez, director at Nicholas & Co Chartered Surveyors, commented, "Guaranteeing precise probate valuations isn't an obligation but a dedication to our clients' financial security. Our expertise and adherence to RICS standards ensure that our valuations offer our clients peace of mind during stressful times."

    An essential component of probate valuation involves its submission to HMRC as part of the estate evaluation process. Given the current Inheritance Tax Threshold of £325,000, precise valuation becomes critical in establishing tax liability. Nicholas & Co's expertise in meeting requirements ensured compliance and maximised tax savings for the client.

    The significance of a reliable probate valuation cannot be overstated, especially considering its potential tax implications As Registered Valuers with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Nicholas & Co. embodies the highest standards of professionalism and accuracy in their valuation practices.

    Nicholas & Co. Surveyors specialise in property valuations and surveyors across London and the Southeast of England. Their commitment to professionalism, accuracy, and attention to detail guarantees that clients receive quality service and expertise. Their residential valuation services provide a valuable resource for anyone making informed decisions about residential real estate.
