All assets [3], other than those specified as disregarded, are counted when calculating the value of a person's assets.
Saleable assets are assessed at their net market value [3]. The market value of an asset can only be reduced if there is an encumbrance or unsecured loan against it. A person's estimation of an asset's value is accepted if it is reasonable, however, a valuation is needed in some circumstances. If the asset is owned with another person, the assets value for the person is determined using their proportion of interest in the asset.
