Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions property owners, lawyers and accountants ask us most.
What is a property valuation?
A property valuation is an independent, professional assessment of a property's market value, prepared by a qualified valuer. Unlike a real estate agent's appraisal, a valuation is an unbiased, evidence-based report that banks, courts, accountants and government bodies accept for finance, legal and taxation purposes.
When do I need an independent property valuation?
Common reasons include mortgage finance, buying or selling, family law settlements, deceased estates and probate, capital gains tax, stamp duty, self-managed super funds (SMSF) and unrelated party transfers. If you need a market value that a bank, court or the ATO will rely on, you need an independent valuation.
How is a property valuation different from a real estate appraisal?
A real estate appraisal is a sales estimate given by an agent, often to win your listing. An independent property valuation is a formal report prepared by an API-accredited valuer using comparable sales, a physical inspection and comprehensive analysis. It is independent, legally defensible and accepted by lenders, courts and the ATO.
How long does a property valuation take?
For a standard residential property, most reports are completed within five business days of inspection, depending on access and complexity of the job. Commercial and specialised valuations will take longer. We will give you a clear timeframe when you book, and we strive to achieve fast turnaround times.

What types of property do you value?
We value residential homes and units, commercial and industrial property and businesses, and we provide property consultancy and tax depreciation schedules. Whether it is a single house, a development site or a commercial portfolio, we prepare a report suited to its purpose.
