Probate House Valuations

A probate valuation is where the state is working out the value of an estate to see whether any inheritance tax is due, and what amount may be owed.

This type of valuation is normally ordered by the probate office and is part of proving a will. It differs from a normal market valuation in the sense that it doesn’t provide a relative market rate, it will provide a value on the day that the owner passed away,

Probate value is the value of the home relative to the revenue services, it’s purely used to calculate inheritance tax and Capital Gains Tax.

A probate valuation is always required when the owner becomes deceased, regardless of whether or not the property is to be sold.

  • Location.
  • The size of the property.
  • Condition.
  • Any unique features. 
  • Potential for adding value: such as a new extension, attic conversion, or bathroom

Although potentially you could attempt to research how a valuation is conducted, In our opinion, the best option is always to have an expert carry out the valuation of your property.

It’s important to note that several online tools now offer an indicative house valuation based on basic data like size, no. of bedrooms and square footage, etc.

These services – although helpful – can only give an indication based on the data provided. They really don’t let you know the true value of your home/property.

The second option is a paid valuation. This service is usually used by those wanting to draw a mortgage, and need an independent opinion from that of the seller’s real estate company. You should expect to pay anything in the range of €50 – €80 for a desktop valuation or €100 – €150 for a full valuation depending on the size of your property. Free valuations are also available from citywide estate agent such as Leonard Wilson Keenan.
