Accurate valuations are essential to ensure that your valuable possessions, such as antiques, jewellery, and fine art, are properly insured. As market values fluctuate, regular updates are crucial to avoid the risk of #underinsurance, which could result in claims being only partially met or even denied. In our latest Expert Series, Private Clients Broker Jo Kennedy, highlights the importance of professional valuations every two to three years, especially given recent increases in the value of gold, diamonds, and antique jewellery. By keeping your valuations current, you can protect your assets and ensure full coverage. For personalised assistance in protecting your assets, consult a specialist insurance broker or contact the Griffiths & Armour Private Clients team. https://lnkd.in/e9RH36ic
