Property Valuation FAQs

Just call us at “The Real Estate Valuer” on 0411 189 904 and let us help you. Many situations require a formal valuation, but many don’t !

We will never take your job unless you need our service.

Examples of when you might need a valuation include:

• Capital Gains Tax reporting (CGT NSW).
• Probate or deceased estate property distribution.
• Family law and settlement matters.
• Stamp duty or transfer of property between parties.
• Independent property valuation for accountants and solicitors.

Our Real Estate Valuation service covers the wider Sydney-Metro area as well as the Southern Highlands.

• Camden, Narellan, Oran Park, Picton, and Wollondilly Shire.
• Greater Illawarra including Wollongong.
• Selected NSW hubs such as Newcastle and Bathurst.

Our reports follow court-approved valuation methods and industry standards, giving clients peace of mind that each report is compliant, accurate, and fit for the nominated legal purpose.

That’s always preferable, but we respect that life can be complex. If access is a problem, we will work with you to find a solution.

In some circumstances we may be able to conduct a desktop valuation (using comparable market evidence and records), but for probate, family law or detailed reports, access is strongly recommended for accuracy.

Of course. At the Real Estate Valuer, we understand that you need clarity around why you need a valuation, and how it works.

Our process is straightforward:

1. Initial discussion of your needs and purpose of the valuation.
2. Agreement on scope and pricing (no charge for initial questions).
3. Inspection of the property (if required).
4. Research, analysis, and preparation of the valuation report.
5. Delivery of the report once the invoice is finalised.

The cost of a property valuation depends on the property type, location, and purpose of the report. 

Residential valuations are generally less complex than commercial or industrial valuations. We provide tailored quotes once we understand your specific needs, ensuring fairness and transparency.

Turnaround time varies by job complexity. Standard residential reports may take just a few days, while commercial or legal reports can take longer. We always confirm expected timeframes upfront so you know when to expect your report.

 No. Our independent property valuation reports are prepared for a single, declared purpose such as family law, deceased estates, or taxation. They are not accepted by banks for mortgage lending. This ensures accuracy and compliance with legal standards.

 We provide valuations for houses, apartments, townhouses, vacant land, commercial buildings, industrial sites, development sites, and mixed-use properties. Whether you’re a homeowner, solicitor, accountant, or developer, we can assist with a tailored report.

 Free online tools provide rough estimates, but they cannot consider unique property characteristics, legal requirements, or market nuances. Our independent valuation reports are evidence-based, court-approved, and stand up to scrutiny in legal and financial contexts.
