Private Collections & Family Offices

Coram James values private collections for families, family offices and their advisers, for insurance, probate, estate planning, family division and sale.

Many of our clients hold collections across several homes, in storage and abroad. We act as a single point of contact, valuing everything to the same standard in one report, so that insurance, tax and succession planning all rest on the same figures.

What We Offer

  • Full collection and house contents valuations for insurance
  • Scheduled revaluations to keep cover in line with the market
  • Probate, inheritance tax and estate planning valuations
  • Valuations for family division, trusts and sale
  • Collection records, inventories and photography

Working With Your Advisers

We work alongside your brokers, lawyers, accountants and wealth managers. Our reports are prepared to RICS standards and relied on by insurers, solicitors, the courts and HMRC.

Discretion

Much of our work is for private families. Confidentiality is standard in every instruction.

To discuss a collection in confidence, please contact Robert Coram James on 020 7305 7360 or at info@coramjames.com.
