Across the UK, many estates fall close to — or above — the inheritance tax threshold, and HMRC expects more than just the property to be valued. Executors must provide an accurate, open-market valuation of the household contents too. Swift Values offers HMRC-compliant chattels valuations nationwide, giving you clear, defensible documentation for the probate process — without unnecessary expense.

We take a proportionate, practical approach. For modest estates, our £99 online contents valuation provides a formal valuation report you can submit with the probate forms. For specific items, our £25 single-item valuations help you quickly identify whether something is low-value or needs specialist attention. Where estates contain valuables — artwork, antiques, jewellery, watches or collections — our in-person probate valuation service offers a detailed inspection and a robust HMRC-compliant report. This meets the legal requirement to itemise higher-value assets where appropriate, and our reports have had a 100% acceptance rate with HMRC.

Swift Values provides full UK coverage. Whether the property is in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you can access the correct valuation route for your situation, from quick online assessments to comprehensive on-site inspections. Our nationwide network of valuers ensures consistency, speed and accuracy — helping you meet HMRC standards efficiently and with confidence.
