I'm just about to buy a house with a certain amount of contents. The solicitor wants the EA to write out the inventory with a value to submit to the revenue so I won'r have to pay stamp duty on it. The EA says the value is only small, but by my estimation it is sizeable, totalling to circa 15k (below). Does my estimate look reaslitic? (This is all quality stuff, the place is finished to the last word)
