Sample of an Insurance Valuation Report

A properly prepared valuation report is a lot more than a few lines hand written on a piece of headed note paper. If done properly a valuation will allow an insurer to replace the item with something that is as close as possible to the original without long drawn out consultations with you.

My valuation reports are made up of three elements.

1. A covering letter, sometimes referred to as a letter of transmittal explaining the work that has been carried out, the factors affecting the value and any further advice that may be relevant.
2. The valuation schedule itself. This will contain the detailed descriptions of the individual items of jewellery, their specific measurements, details of any gemstones and their assessed grades, details of any hallmarks, stamps or engravings and the method of manufacture. Each individual description is finished with our assessment of its replacement value.
3. Notes to the schedule. This is a comprehensive document  listing the procedures employed in preparing the appraisal, its limitations and the abbreviations used and form part of the valuation document.

Not all valuations are prepared to this level of detail but they should be. You receive the schedule along with a duplicate that you can present to your insurer. If you wish this can also be sent to you as a PDF copy (by request only). A copy of the valuation is stored in our archive for six years. Anytime during these six years you can have a the item(s) revalued at a reduced fee. We would recommend a re-valuation every two to three years.
