If you’re looking for an accurate, professional real estate valuation, our team at the Property Valuer is here to help. We have years of experience in the industry and are familiar with a wide range of property types. Whether you’re selling a home, trying to refinance, or just curious about your property’s value, we can provide you with the information you need.
Residential property valuations form the backbone of our practice. These reports are commonly required for taxation (CGT, stamp duty), probate, estate planning, and family law matters.
We tailor each valuation to its declared purpose and ensure compliance with court and ATO requirements. Our process includes an on-site inspection, market analysis using comparable sales, and preparation of a formal, signed report by a licensed valuer.
Planning to sell or transfer a property? Our real estate valuers provide independent Capital Gains Tax (CGT) property valuations to help you meet ATO requirements and calculate tax obligations accurately. With expert, impartial reports, we ensure you have the right information to manage your tax position confidently and make informed financial decisions.
CGT valuations are one of our most requested services. The ATO often requires a precise, retrospective market value for properties acquired before 1985 or improved significantly since purchase. We use accepted methods to calculate this value, ensuring that clients and their accountants have defensible figures for tax submissions. Reports can be backdated to a specific date, giving clarity where purchase prices or records are unavailable.
Dealing with a deceased estate requires careful and accurate property assessments. We provide independent property valuations, estate and probate valuations to assist with legal requirements, asset distribution, and family settlements. With compassionate, professional service, we deliver reliable reports that give clarity and peace of mind during a difficult time.
We recognise that estate valuations are often carried out under sensitive circumstances. Our valuers approach these instructions with empathy and diligence. Whether required for probate applications, estate settlements, or family negotiations, our valuations provide a factual basis that helps reduce conflict. Solicitors and executors rely on our impartiality, knowing our reports can withstand court scrutiny if challenged.
Are you thinking of developing your property? Our property development advice services can help you make the best decisions for your project. We can provide you with impartial, expert advice on all aspects of property development, from feasibility studies to project management. We’re here to help you make your project a success.
Development feasibility is a critical service for landowners, developers, and investors. Our reports consider zoning, market demand, cost inputs, and potential end values.
By testing multiple scenarios, we help clients understand risks and opportunities before committing significant capital. Our experience across South-West Sydney growth corridors — such as Oran Park, Camden, and Tahmoor — means we can provide localised insights that support smart development decisions.
Need to know what your property was worth at a specific point in the past? Our team provides independent retrospective property valuations for legal, taxation, and compliance purposes. With accurate historical assessments and detailed reporting, we give you the evidence needed to meet ATO requirements and support your financial or legal obligations.
Retrospective valuations are commonly requested for CGT, family law, and deceased estate purposes. We gather historical sales data, review archived market conditions, and apply recognised valuation methodologies to determine a past value. These valuations are court-approved and provide a reliable record of property worth at a nominated date.
Looking to buy, sell, lease, or manage a commercial property? Our real estate valuers provide expert commercial property services, delivering accurate valuations, market insights, and impartial advice. From office spaces to retail and industrial sites, we help you make informed decisions that protect your investment and support long-term business success.
Our commercial property valuations cover a wide range of asset classes: office buildings, retail premises, warehouses, industrial facilities, and mixed-use developments. These valuations are often required for partnership dissolutions, rent reviews, insurance assessments, and tax compliance. We also provide expert witness evidence in court proceedings when commercial property values are in dispute.
Case Study: A local investor sought our expertise in valuing an industrial site in Wollondilly Shire for capital gains purposes. Our independent report helped the accountant finalise their client’s tax position, while also guiding the investor’s decision to hold or divest the property.
Managing a property through your Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) requires accurate and compliant valuations. Our real estate valuers provide independent, expert SMSF property valuations to ensure you meet ATO requirements and make informed investment decisions. We help you protect your retirement strategy and maximise the value of your property portfolio.
ATO compliance is strict for SMSFs, requiring that property assets are valued at market value by an independent professional. Our reports are designed specifically for SMSF trustees, auditors, and accountants. By using recognised, court-approved methodologies, we provide valuations that are both compliant and easy to interpret. This ensures peace of mind for trustees managing long-term retirement strategies.
Buying or transferring a property? Our Sydney property valuation team are able to provide you with independent stamp duty valuations to ensure you meet state revenue office requirements and pay the correct amount of duty.
With expert, impartial reports, we help you navigate the process confidently and avoid costly errors.
Stamp duty valuations are essential in private sales, related-party transfers, or where there is no clear purchase price.
Our reports are accepted by state revenue offices and provide clear evidence of market value. This ensures clients pay the correct duty and avoid penalties for under-declaration.
Strata schemes require regular, accurate valuations to remain compliant and fairly allocate costs. Our team can provide professional strata valuation certificates that meet legislative requirements and help ensure equitable insurance coverage and levy contributions. With independent, reliable reporting, we give strata owners and managers confidence and peace of mind.
We prepare strata valuations for insurance purposes and levy allocation. These certificates ensure that building replacement costs are fairly assessed and that owners corporations remain compliant with legal obligations. With decades of experience, we provide detailed, reliable certificates that support both managers and lot owners.
