Send us a textHugo Busby, a chartered surveyor, joined the London Property Podcast to discuss the importance of accurate property valuations for inheritance tax (IHT), capital gains tax (CGT), matrimonial cases, and insurance. He stressed that:Incorrect valuations can lead to unnecessary tax liabilities (IHT at 40%, CGT up to 28%).In divorce cases, joint expert valuations ensure fairness and stand up to legal scrutiny.A holistic approach is key — covering both property and contents, especially for insurance and tax planning.Insurance valuations should be reviewed regularly to avoid overpaying premiums.Market conditions, past valuations (as far back as 1982), and solid documentation are vital for HMRC compliance.Busby also shared practical examples and noted current trends like a softening property market and rising construction costs.PROPERTY WEALTH - Transforming challenges into opportunities with specialist knowledge and reach.
