London’s high property values mean many estates here cross the inheritance tax threshold — and HMRC expects more than just the home to be valued. If you’re handling probate in the capital, Swift Values provides HMRC-compliant valuations for household goods and personal possessions alongside the property, giving executors clear documentation that stands up to scrutiny.

We take a proportionate, practical approach. For modest estates, our £99 online contents valuation delivers a documented assessment you can submit with the probate forms. Where valuables are involved, artwork, antiques, jewellery or collections, our in-person probate valuation (from £498 + VAT, including travel and the first two hours on site) provides a detailed inspection and a robust report. This aligns with HMRC requirements, including the need to list higher-value items individually where appropriate.

Swift Values covers all 32 London boroughs. Use the links below to find borough-specific guidance, recent average house prices from official sources, and the right valuation route for your situation. Whether you’re in inner London or the outer boroughs, we’ll help you meet HMRC standards efficiently and with confidence.
