What is an Inheritance Tax Valuation?

An Inheritance Tax (IHT) Valuation, also known as a Probate Valuation, determines the open market value of a property at the date of death. This valuation is required by HMRC when assessing whether Inheritance Tax is due on an estate. Given the potential tax liabilities, obtaining a professional and RICS-accredited valuation is essential to avoid disputes or penalties.
