TAILORED VALUATION SOLUTIONS

Valuation Services and Purposes

Valuations tailored to the asset, purpose and required basis of value, supporting insurance, financial, commercial and operational decisions.

Insurance valuations assist in establishing an appropriate replacement value for plant, machinery and vehicles.

This can help reduce the risk of under-insurance and support more accurate premium and claim-related assessments. Any insured amount or claim settlement remains subject to the applicable policy terms and conditions.

Market value reflects the estimated open-market or cash value of an asset.

It may support decisions relating to insurance, sale, finance, claims and commercial transactions.

Replacement cost valuations consider the current cost of replacing an existing asset with a modern equivalent offering comparable capacity, function and utility.

New Replacement Value represents the estimated cost of replacing an asset with a new equivalent.

For Plant All Risks policies, an appropriate New Replacement Value may help reduce exposure to underinsurance and average penalties in the event of a claim.

Valuations may support:

  • Asset-register verification
  • Internal reporting
  • Business restructuring
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Capital-expenditure planning
  • Asset replacement planning
  • Operational decision-making

Accounting and tax treatment remain the responsibility of the client and its appointed professional advisers.
