N.A.G. Registered Valuations
The National Association of Goldsmiths established the "Registered Valuer" scheme many years ago and set new standards in the level of competency required in order to be qualify as a Registered Valuer.
Many years of experience, together with appropriate equipment and reference libraries enable us to carry out your insurance valuation with accuracy and confidence. Our fully qualified registered Valuer, Jim Cupitt is able to assist with your valuation needs.
Please remember that to be accurate, valuations takes time and must not be rushed. Therefore, we do not carry out valuations while you wait. A valuation by definition emphasizes a monetary value but the detailed description is also extremely important; its purpose is not only to confirm and justify a value, but in the case of a loss...
- To provide a check list so that everything missing is claimed for.
- To prove ownership if the item is stolen and subsequently recovered by the police.
- To enable a very similar item to be purchased or made again.
- To show that on the date stated the item existed and was examined by the signatory.
- To ensure that in the event of dispute with the insurance company / loss adjustors you have a firm foundation on which to base your claim.
- To check that if a replacement is supplied it is of comparable quality and value with the original.
Valuations are charged on a per item basis:
1st item £25.00
Subsequent items £15.00
(Items of special historical interest or unusual provenance by request)
