As well as our Specialist departments we offer a comprehensive valuation service for the purposes of:
Insurance
The value of antiques, art and collectables can increase as well as decrease, often without the owner being aware of such changes in the market place. In today's climate it is important to have an up to date valuation of one's possessions for many reasons. Very often valuable pieces can be simply lumped in with ordinary contents in a general household insurance policy. If a claim arises this can cause immense problems in obtaining a reasonable level of recompense, so it is best practice to have a professional valuation carried out and reviewed every three to five years. Insuring high-risk items at their true value is important and will ensure that you are adequately covered in the event of loss or damage. With well over a century of experience Adams are expert at the appraisal of fine art, antiques and collectables for insurance purposes, from single items to complete collections. We act for many public, semi-state, educational and corporate bodies as well as private collectors, large and small and can tailor our valuations to your specific needs. Adam's can offer a personal, confidential, professional and discreet service made to order.
Probate
Apart from Insurance, one of the most common reasons for seeking a valuation is the death of a loved one, relative or close friend. We have worked closely with legal professionals in this area over the years, providing probate valuations at all levels of complexity. Adam's valuation services can help complete things in a timely and effective way providing generalized or detailed inventories and valuations for the purpose of finalizing a deceased estate.
Family Division
We also offer valuation services for family division. Sadly it is often necessary to divide a collection or property within a family, an exercise which is often fractious. We offer a professional and independent service that can help make these difficult situations easier, carried out in complete confidence.
As a member firm of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors we are regulated to ensure the highest possible professional and ethical standards. Our academically qualified valuers adhere to these bodies ongoing requirements for Continuing Professional Development.
Our reasonable valuation fees are discussed and agreed in advance and are normally worked out on a time basis.
