A new fee-free service offering HMRC-compliant property valuations will aim to ‘ease financial pressure on families’ while supporting legal and property professionals handling probate and court of protection property matters.
Property Solutions Group, a one-stop-shop for probate property, has announced it will now provide its HMRC-compliant property valuations completely free of charge. The decision was driven by ‘demand for reliable and ethically delivered support during some of the most sensitive moments in clients’ lives’ said Group MD Gary Shaw:
“Probate and Court of Protection cases require care, accuracy and professional diligence. By providing these services for free, we hope to remove one of the barriers that families and professionals often face.”
Offering the service free of charge is part of Property Solutions Group’s efforts to modernise and simplify the property processes associated with estate management and legal oversight.
“PSG is committed to improving accessibility and transparency within what can often be a complex and emotionally challenging process” added Shaw.
“As part of the offering, clients will benefit from a comprehensive package that includes a fully HMRC-compliant valuation, the attendance of two agents at every instruction, and access to the company’s expert opinion and customised marketing plans. The combination is designed to offer both accuracy and reassurance in situations where precision and clarity are essential.”

A great initiative from the Property Solutions Group .. leading the way as always
This is a charity offering a useful service to people at a time of emotional and often financial stress. It’s aims are kind and laudable. Nevertheless, it cannot operate without funding. I doubt whether it will attract significant funding except through the legal profession and even then it will need significant publicity. Although its initial valuation service is free, there is no obvious reason why it should not expect its costs to be covered by the parties it has benefitted initially, once assets become available. I assume it will hope to benefit also at that time from a suitable gift in recognition of the assistance it has provided. Is there not a problem, however, in that trustees, personal representatives, attorneys and deputies are legally limited as to what they can do with the funds they are administering? It would be interesting and helpful to know how the charity will be funded. Indeed a competent lawyer may be able to offer pro bono advice if it is needed!
It’s not a charity, it’s a property business. Not casting aspersions, but it is a sprat to catch a mackerel.
