Insurance & Probate Valuations

 

Accurate. Confidential. Essential.

Duke’s offers a comprehensive insurance valuation service, tailored to your specific needs — whether for a single valuable item or the entire contents of a home.

Before we begin, we’ll discuss your requirements in detail to ensure our valuation is precisely aligned with your expectations. Our experienced team will advise on the most suitable approach and prepare a report that meets the highest standards, trusted by leading insurers and underwriters.

As many fine art and chattel insurers now require up-to-date, itemised valuations as part of their risk management strategy, it is increasingly important to ensure that your collection is properly documented. Whether you own jewellery, art, antiques, or specialist collections, having a professional valuation in place helps ensure the correct compensation in the unfortunate event of a loss — and can prove invaluable in avoiding disputes with loss adjusters.

Market values for unique pieces rarely follow inflation and can change rapidly due to trends, condition, and provenance. A regularly reviewed valuation can help optimise insurance premiums and ensure swift, fair settlements if a claim arises.

Our valuation service includes a professionally bound report, with photographs where appropriate, and is prepared by an experienced senior valuer. Duke’s draws on a wide network of specialist experts to ensure the highest level of accuracy and attention to detail.

All valuations are handled with the utmost confidentiality, and our clear, competitive fee structure ensures peace of mind from start to finish.

To discuss your valuation needs in confidence, please contact us today.
