Kinghams can carefully tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Formal insurance valuations can vary from complete house contents to single items, and we can discuss what options are available to you before visiting your property.
Why keep a current valuation?
It is advisable for clients with valuable collections of jewellery, art and antiques to have a fully comprehensive itemised and illustrated bound inventory to ensure that, in the unfortunate event of a claim, the correct compensation is made.
Many fine art and chattel insurers annually review their risk management strategies, and it is important that clients have a current valuation of house contents, as this limits negotiation time in the event of theft or damage of property.
Values change
The value of antiques and art can change dramatically over short periods of time, with market forces and condition of items having a dramatic effect on price. Value can be more in line with current fashion than inflation, and a regularly reviewed valuation could help reduce insurance premiums and facilitate the speedy settlement of a claim.
Kinghams offer a confidential valuation service with a clear fee structure.
- Instruction fee £120 + VAT
- Additional hours £100 + VAT (per hour)
- Average time for a valuation of a three-bedroom property is three hours
