Insurance Valuations

Safeguarding Your Assets

We offer personalised valuations for insurance purposes, whether for a single item or an entire home's contents. Before we begin, we will discuss your needs to ensure our valuation is tailored just for you.

Many insurers now require updated valuations for fine art and chattels as part of their risk management. For those with valuable assets, having a detailed valuation is advisable to ensure accurate compensation in the unfortunate event of a claim.

The market value of unique items can change rapidly due to factors like fashion and condition. A regularly reviewed valuation not only helps in adjusting insurance premiums but also expedites claim settlements, providing peace of mind.

Our service includes:

A discussion with one of our experts to tailor your needs to the valuation required
Terms of Engagement detailing requirements, fee structure and your Sworders contact
A detailed inventory and valuation, fully illustrated and bound
Specialists with a wealth of knowledge to ensure the highest level of service
Our constant involvement in the art and antiques market enables our valuers to be up to date with current market trends

SPEAK TO THE TEAM

01279 817778 | privatecollections@sworder.co.uk

'Sworders has recently carried out a full valuation of my house contents, with photographs, as requested by my insurers, Hiscox. Daniel Webster organised the process which ran very smoothly. He was very reliable, professional and friendly. He is also very knowledgeable but was able to call on another specialist expert from the Sworders team when necessary. I felt that I had received a very personal service and would most certainly ask Sworders to help should I need similar services in the future. I have no hesitation in recommending the Sworders team.'
