property valuations.
Clear property evidence, handled with care.
Independent current and retrospective property valuations for probate and estate administration across NSW, ACT and Victoria.
Independent assessment
Support for the property decisions ahead.
Managing an estate can involve decisions about retaining, transferring or selling property. We provide an independent assessment at the date and for the purpose confirmed with the executor or adviser.
We value real property, including homes, land, commercial premises and rural holdings. Tell us about each property and the estate’s instructions so we can confirm the work required.
The right scope
Start with the purpose.
Estate administration
Clear valuation evidence to assist executors and their professional advisers.
Sale or distribution
Current values where the estate needs evidence for a proposed property decision.
What matters
Confirm the purpose before choosing the date.
The relevant date may be the date of death, a current date or another date specified by your adviser. Different purposes can require different assessments.
Australia has no inheritance or estate tax, but inherited assets may have other tax consequences. Your accountant should confirm whether a valuation is needed for CGT and the correct basis.
A report explains the property value and supporting evidence. It does not determine how an estate is distributed or guarantee agreement between beneficiaries.
Further guidance: ATO: deceased estates and tax.

Your questions
Clearly explained.
Talk to our team about the property and your requirements.
How much does a probate valuation cost?
Probate valuations start from $790 including GST. The fee depends on the property, location, date and scope. Send the address and instructions, or call 1300 359 886, for a confirmed quote.
How many valuations will the estate need?
Your solicitor or accountant should confirm which properties and dates need assessment. We can quote for one property or multiple properties in an estate.
Can beneficiaries question the valuation?
Yes. Questions or further evidence can be put to the valuer for consideration. A reasoned report explains the assessment; legal disputes should be discussed with the estate’s solicitor.
Is an agent’s appraisal the same as a probate valuation?
An appraisal is commonly a marketing estimate. A formal valuation addresses the instructed purpose and date, with evidence, reasoning and stated assumptions. Confirm the required report with your adviser.
Do you value personal possessions as well?
This service covers real property. Tell us about any other assets so their assessment can be addressed separately with the appropriate professional.
