Appraisals & valuations

Expert assessment and documentation of HiFi components — whether to establish value or for insurance and damage claims.

What is a HiFi component really worth? That question arises not only when buying or selling — but also in dealings with an insurer, after damage has occurred or when an estate is being wound up. Drawing on more than twenty-five years of market knowledge, we produce expert valuations that stand up.

A valuation at HEM rests on an inspection of the actual component: condition, originality, working order, specification and the current market for comparable components. The result is set down in a form anyone can follow — with photographs, a description of condition and an assessment in context.

Typical occasions

  • Establishing value before a purchase or a sale
  • Documentation for household contents or transport insurance
  • An assessment after damage has occurred
  • Valuation of collections and estates
  • A second opinion before a larger investment

Whether a formal valuation is needed or a brief expert opinion will do is something we settle in conversation — do get in touch.
