Warrington Probate Valuations

Valuations for Inheritance Tax purposes (often called probate valuations) are an important part of administering an estate.

We provide valuations of works of art, antiques and collectables for inheritance tax purposes in accordance with the Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984.

A professional probate valuation does not only help to ensure your peace of mind, but it also serves many other purposes:

It enables HMRC to calculate the correct amount of inheritance tax payable
It can identify and value items listed in the will, which is useful for executors
It can establish the approximate value of assets, which is helpful for equitable division

The History of Warrington

Archaeological excavation of the Warrington area traces the first known human settlement to the Bronze Age, which began in Europe in 2300 BC. There is also evidence of a Roman Settlement being established in Wilderspool, a district of Warrington town.

Warrington is a significant River Mersey crossing point, which was used during the Roman occupation of Britain and in the medieval times (5^th century to 15^th century). A bridge was constructed in Warrington before 1285 and the town was an important area for market trade. The development of Warrington started early, with it being the first town to be paved in 1321, in the Lancashire area.

During the 1642 – 1651 Civil War, Warrington was centric to the action with armies headed by the Earl of Derby and Oliver Cromwell staying in close proximity to the town. Local legends say that Cromwell stayed near to one of the oldest buildings in Warrington, today the Cottage Restaurant, and that cannon fire damaged the Parish Church. In 1651, the final battle of the Civil War that was won by the Royalists, was waged in Warrington and is known as the ‘Battle of Warrington Bridge’.

During the Industrial Revolution, Warrington became a key industrial town, producing steel, chemicals, and textiles, as well as being involved in the tanning and brewing industries. The landscape of the town changed to welcome new canals and the railway.

The importance of Warrington continued through to World War II, where it housed a significant RAF base that in turn became home to a large force of US troops. After the war, and having gained New Town status, Warrington grew, and heavy industry switched to technology and distribution.

In 1993, Warrington was the site of IRA attacks where multiple bombs were detonated, which included one in the town centre and resulted in the death of two children. Between 1968 and 2016, the population of Warrington doubled to become the largest Cheshire town with 208,800 inhabitants.
