Why people switch

A valuation shouldn't be the slow part of your import.

You need a figure for HMRC, your insurer or a solicitor, and most of the market makes you wait days for it.

Don't take our word for it. Read theirs.

I needed a valuation for tax purposes. I was quoted by one company at almost £800! Greg at Bassett came through with not only an awesome price on the valuation itself, but also on the trip he had to take to the port.

Pricing

From £95

Every case is priced on what it actually needs. You see the figure and get an invoice before anything starts, never a surprise once it's done.

Before you send it

What happens after I send the form?

We reply by email with the price for your case. You get an invoice, and once it's paid we start. Most reports are delivered within hours of receiving everything we need.

What do you need from me?

Make, model, year, VIN, mileage, engine size, fuel type and number of previous owners, plus four photos of the outside (one per side) and one of the mileage. Any damage, with photos, and the service history make the figure more accurate.

Will HMRC or my insurer accept it?

Every report is prepared with their standards in mind, but no valuer can guarantee what a third party decides.

Is this a history check or a mechanical inspection?

No. We value the vehicle on the UK market. We don't check finance, theft or write-off records, and we don't inspect the mechanics.

Can you act as an expert witness?

No. Our reports are independent supporting documents. We don't act as an expert witness and don't attend court.
