Property is often the largest asset in an Estate, so it is essential that it is accurately valued.

Recently we have seen a significant increase in the number of valuations required by Non-UK Resident property owners who are considering selling, or have sold, their UK property. Under Section 272 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, the Non-Resident Landlord may be liable to pay Capital Gains Tax on the increase in value of the property since April 2015. Our Red Book Valuations are not only used for tax submissions, but also for assisting clients and their advisors with tax planning.

District Valuer Negotiation is required when HMRC assess and dispute a valuation that is to be used for calculating tax.
HMRC may look to recalculate the Inheritance Tax liability using their own valuation prepared by the District Valuer. If this is the case, usually HMRC will write to the executors informing them of the value that the District Valuer has out on the property. This valuation can however be appealed to ensure that there is not an over-payment of inheritance tax to HMRC.
At Wilkinson & Fox, we provide a District Valuer Negotiation service that aims to resolve any dispute within 14 days, irrespective of whether we conducted the initial valuation or not.
The charge for this service is on a case by case basis, but we usually calculate our fee as a percentage of the saving we are confident we will make you or your client.
