Most valuations are undertaken for insurance replacement purposes, but there are a number of other reasons why you may seek an IRV's assistance in connection with a valuation. Our leaflet may help to explain and clarify the different purposes of a valuation document, and to ensure you obtain the most appropriate type of schedule for your needs.
