IHTM21021 - Types of asset: cars


If a figure has been returned for the deceased’s car, unsupported by a professional valuation, you should ask for the basis on which it has been valued (This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)). You can also check the values returned against those given in Parker’s Car Price Guide, copies of which are held in the Nottingham and Edinburgh office libraries. If you are in Belfast, you should contact the E2 in Compliance Group in Edinburgh, who will provide the necessary information.

You must refer the following to SAV

  • any car valued at £5000 or more which does not feature in Parker's Car Price Guide
  • Values returned for vintage, veteran or classic cars and motorbikes
  • personalised or cherished number plates
