Complete House Contents Valuation for Insurance Cover.

It is most distressing for people to experience the theft of a much cherished possession or to suffer the horror of an unauthorised person breaking and entering your home in order to steal.

It is unfortunate that burglary is on the increase which reflects the negative aspect of the age in which we live. You can however gain peace of mind by making sure you possessions are adequately insured in the event of such a loss.

I and my team provide detailed and illustrated inventories of the contents of your home. Most house contents are an accumulation of items purchased when experiencing the excitement of putting your first home together and then a gradual build up of added pieces, some maybe through inheritance or you might have a passion for collecting. Many people have lived and enjoyed their possessions for many years without fully appreciating the changing market place and therefore the value may not be apparent and could be underinsured. This will reflect in any compensation paid to you by an insurance company where the true value is understated.

Having a full inventory with principal items photographed and valued, greatly assists those involved in assessing claims made in the event of a buglary, fire or flood damage and aids the recovery of stolen items by the police.

               Claims on Insurance for loss due to burglary etc.

A break in or theft from anyone's home is distressing as the immediate reaction is one of feeling slightly vulnerabl where a person has gained uninvited access and then has the audacity to rummage through private and personal belongings.

At this time the victim needs the comfort that help is available and immediately on hand to offer advice on values and dealing with a claim. As valuers we provide a comprehensive list of missing items together with photographic evidence of similar pieces after consultation with the client. Often old family photographs of room interiors do reveal in the background evidence of a stolen object which may be traced or used to formulate the claim.

We follow the same method of reconstucting an image of lost items in the event of a flood or fire.

To avoid problems in the event of having to identify missing items from historical evidence we strongly recommend a professional valuation by ourselves, before you need to claim.
