What clients say

4.9 from 93 Google reviews
The completed Valuation Report was of an excellent standard. It was detailed, well structured and clearly explained the methodology, evidence and reasoning that led to the final valuation amount.
ClaireRetrospective CGT valuationGoogle review
Their on-site inspection was very thorough, and it was clear they had completed all the necessary groundwork and pre-work well in advance. Despite engaging their services during the holiday season, the turnaround time for the valuation report was impressively efficient.

Common questions

How much does a valuation cost?

Stamp duty and CGT valuations start from $490 for an apartment and $540 for a house. SMSF valuations start from $600, pre-sale or pre-purchase reports from $690, and family law and court reports from $1,190. Valuations dated 30 June 2027 for the CGT changes are a separate offer, from $249 for a desktop report or $399 inspected. All these fees include GST. Estate fees depend on the scope, so we quote them once we know the property, the date and the purpose. Every fee is confirmed in writing before you pay anything.

How long does it take?

Stamp duty and CGT reports take 2 to 3 working days after pre-payment and inspection. Mediation reports take 3 to 5, and long-form family law and litigation reports take 5 to 10. If you have a deadline, tell us when you ask for a quote and we'll say whether we can meet it.

Do you need to inspect the property?

Usually, yes. For some standard homes and apartments we can prepare a desktop valuation from records and sales evidence, where you agree to that scope before we start. Family law, prestige, commercial and rural properties are normally inspected.

Can you value a property at a past date?

Yes. We prepare retrospective valuations for CGT, family law, estates and other purposes, using the sales evidence from around that date. Your accountant, your solicitor or the court order sets the date, and we confirm it with you before the report is prepared.

What do I need to send you?

The property address, the purpose of the valuation and any date it needs to be valued at. If a solicitor or accountant is instructing, their letter covers most of this. We ask for access details when we book the inspection.

I'm not sure which report I need.

Call 1300 359 886 or send the form and say so. We'll tell you which report fits and what it costs before you commit to anything.
