If the conditions (
IHTM09754) for relief are satisfied
then the sold property (
IHTM04030) may be re-valued at the date
of death without taking into account the related property (
IHTM09733) or property passing under
another title (
IHTM09712), with which it was
originally valued.
But this does not necessarily mean that the property has to
be valued by itself. You must still value the property with any
other property in the estate which is vested in the vendors, or has
been vested with them at any time since the death if it is
appropriate to do so on normal valuation grounds.
| Example
On death, A’s estate includes the freehold interest in Blackacre, which is leased to his wife. The value of Blackacre immediately before A’s death is £50,000. The values of the freehold and leasehold interests are £30,000 and £10,000 respectively. The value of A’s interest under the related property provisions is |
||||
| £30,000 | x £50,000 | = £37,500 | ||
| £40,000 | ||||
| The freehold is later sold and all conditions for relief are satisfied. Under IHTA84/S176 the value immediately before death is revised to £30,000. | ||||
