The benefit of an up-to-date insurance valuation cannot be underestimated: in the event of a loss a current appraisal can expedite a claim, leading to fewer queries from the insurers and ensuring a fair settlement is reached.

If you own antiques and works of art, it's wise to keep an inventory of your collection through insurance valuations. Not only will it help you keep track of your belongings, but it will also be useful in the unfortunate event of loss or damage, as you'll have an up-to-date record to present to loss adjusters. At Rosebery's, our insurance valuations are recognized by all major insurance companies and brokers. We recommend revisiting or reassessing your valuation every two years to ensure that it remains up to date.

Our clients receive a typed and bound valuation that lists all noteworthy items and gives an overall value of the entire contents of the house. If you prefer, digital images can be included in the valuation. With a team of specialists, we can provide valuations for anything from a single item to the contents of major estates.

Insurance valuations reflect the cost of replacing your belongings after loss or damage. To ensure that you are neither underinsured nor overinsured, Rosebery's can provide an open market valuation of your artworks, antiques, and jewelry. By doing so, we can help you avoid unrealistic premium payments and disputes in the event of a claim. We review valuations annually to ensure that replacement costs reflect changing market values, particularly in areas such as Asian art, contemporary art, and jewelry, where there can be significant fluctuations in value. Our valuations are accepted by insurance companies and brokers, providing you with the confidence of a full and speedy settlement for any loss. We can provide valuations for single items or provide a detailed and illustrated inventory of art, antiques, and jewelry, including information about age, size, provenance, or other helpful facts for your insurer.

For over 30 years, Rosebery's has been providing valuations for insurance purposes to private clients, solicitors, executors, and trustees. We approach every valuation with professionalism and discretion, and we consider confidentiality to be of the utmost importance. Written valuations are an important part of our business and are typically carried out by a director or senior specialist. Charges are agreed in advance and are calculated based on time.
