What is the Purpose of an Insurance Reinstatement Valuation?

Insurance reinstatement valuations are critical for ensuring your property is accurately insured against the full cost of rebuilding. This service has evolved from an indicative market value opinion to a detailed, elemental assessment that truly protects your investment.
Historical Context

Traditionally, insurance valuations were included as part of a market value assessment and often provided as a caveated opinion. Customers and insurers relied on these figures, even though they were not designed to cover the full rebuilding cost.

Purpose & Importance

The Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA) is now recognised as a distinct discipline. It delivers a precise estimate of the total cost to rebuild your property—including demolition, debris removal and professional fees—thereby minimising the risk of underinsurance.

Adhering to RICS guidance, our elemental approach ensures every aspect of your property is thoroughly assessed, providing you with the robust, transparent valuation needed to protect your investment.

What is Reinstatement Cost?

Reinstatement cost is the total estimated amount required to rebuild your property to its original condition after a loss. This ensures you are fully insured against all rebuilding expenses.
Comprehensive Assessment

Unlike a market valuation, a reinstatement cost assessment uses an elemental approach to evaluate every aspect of the property, accounting for its unique features.

Inclusive of All Expenses

The assessment covers demolition, debris removal, professional fees and non-recoverable VAT, ensuring the full rebuilding cost is captured.

Adjusted for Inflation

Provisions for building cost inflation over the policy period ensure that the valuation remains accurate even as costs rise.

Our detailed, RICS-guided approach ensures every cost component is thoroughly assessed, giving you the confidence that your insurance cover reflects the true cost of rebuilding.
