Property valuation services

The nation’s largest property insurance appraisal company.

Our experienced team of appraisers has the technical knowledge and top-notch tools to accurately determine the value of your buildings, personal property and equipment, so you can secure proper insurance coverage before a loss occurs.

Natural and man-made catastrophes impact thousands of properties and cause millions of pounds in damages each year. At Sedgwick, we undertake desktop and site visit valuations to provide an accurate, Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA) report to assist you in setting the correct declared value (DV) and/or sum insured.

It’s fundamental that a building is insured for an adequate amount. If an incident occurs and the sum insured doesn’t reflect the rebuilding cost, your policy may not meet the full cost of replacing or repairing the building, leaving a potentially significant shortfall for you to fund.

 

This is even more important where a building is listed, and you have a statutory responsibility to reinstate. A Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA) report gives you peace of mind that the building has been insured for an adequate amount. It provides a rebuilding figure that includes the cost of demolition, debris removal and professional fees, itemised for each building to be included.
