Valuations
Making sure you have an up-to-date valuation for your jewellery and other valuables is vital to ensuring you are properly covered by your insurance policy. As many as 30% of insurance claims for jewellery and related items are affected by under-insurance because the claimant is unaware of the real value of the items until it’s too late.
At Lanes we offer a professional valuation service in association with national specialists the Guild of Valuers & Jewellers.
We provide a drop-off service allowing you to leave the items with us for valuation. The turnaround time for this service is usually 7 working days.
Our valuations provide:
-An expert description and valuation of each item.
-A beautiful portfolio with colour digital images of each item valued.
-Proof of ownership.
-Registration on the secure e-register database.
-Assurance you are not under-insured.
-Secure access to your valuation online at www.gvj.org.uk
-Reduced claims handling times should the worst happen.
Prices are based on the value of your jewellery rather than on the number of items and start at £49.50 including VAT. Guild valuations follow the professional standards set out by the National Association of Goldsmiths
