Reinstatement Valuations

It is very important that a property is insured for the correct amount. Under insurance may mean that the insurance company will not pay out enough to repair or rebuild a building in the event of damage and over insurance can mean a client is paying too much for their insurance premiums resulting in poor value for money and waste.

At now survey our specialist team of Chartered Surveyors use cost information provided by the Building Cost Information Service to produce reinstatement valuations according to the RICS guidelines. These reinstatement valuations give a reliable and accurate rebuilding cost for insurance purposes.
