A&A Appraisal Client Services
Annual Appraisal Updating Service
Our digital Annual Updating Service is an easy, low-cost and secure way to ensure that the values of your fine art and valuables can be kept up to date without the need for regular revisits by our valuers. An essential tool for both private and public collections, it uses a comprehensive index system formulated by our network of international experts.
The process starts with your most recent A&A insurance valuation. Each item of fine or decorative art is assigned a category code covering more than 450 sectors of the art market. Every year, our experts review each category and apply an indexation calculated on market movements at public auction and on the private market over the previous twelve months; this includes increases as well as any downward adjustments. This is then applied to each coded item in your collection, while all items marked as exceptional are individually checked.
This is a digital service and you are notified of the changes by email. A summary is normally sent to your broker, while you can access a full, detailed report.
