How can we help you with your valuation?

Six kinds of valuation, one experienced team. Find your situation below to see when you need each report, what’s involved and who we usually work with.

Court & Tribunal Valuation Evidence

Evidence a court can rely on.

Expert valuation reports for disputes heard in the Federal and State Courts and NSW tribunals.

When you need it

A property’s value is in dispute, whether in a commercial claim, a partnership dispute, or a strata or land matter.

What’s involved

A report prepared in line with the expert witness code of conduct, with reasoning laid out transparently, and evidence given in court if required.

Who we work with

Solicitors, barristers and their clients, on either side of a matter, from the early stages through to hearing.

Compulsory Acquisition & Easement Claims

Compensation turns on the valuation.

Market value and compensation advice when government acquires land or an easement is imposed.

When you need it

Government or an authority is acquiring your land, or an easement is being created over it.

What’s involved

Advice on market value and the other heads of compensation under the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991, including the effect of an easement on the land that remains.

Who we work with

Landowners and acquiring authorities. Wal Dobrow has given expert evidence in these matters for more than 40 years.

Strata & Unit Entitlement Valuations

Strata specialists, not generalists.

Unit entitlement schedules, Valuer’s Certificates and strata advice from specialists in the field.

When you need it

A new strata or community plan needs registering, an existing scheme is being subdivided, or unit entitlements are being challenged.

What’s involved

Market value unit entitlements and the Valuer’s Certificate required by the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, or an expert report for re-allocation under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.

Who we work with

Developers, surveyors, owners corporations and lot owners. We have inspected more than 35% of NSW strata schemes.

Pre-Purchase & Transaction Due Diligence

Know the value before you sign.

An independent check on value before you buy, sell or invest — from homes to major assets.

When you need it

You are buying, selling or investing in property and want an independent check on price and risk.

What’s involved

An objective market value assessment backed by current sales evidence, highlighting anything that could affect value.

Who we work with

Purchasers, investors, developers and their advisers, on deals from a single home to some of Australia’s largest transactions.

Stamp Duty, CGT & GST Margin Scheme

The right value at the right date.

Valuations at the right date for Revenue NSW and the ATO, including retrospective (historical) values.

When you need it

Revenue NSW or the ATO needs a market value: for stamp duty, capital gains tax (often as at a past date) or the GST margin scheme.

What’s involved

A valuation at the date the tax rules require, with the comparable evidence documented so the figure can be supported if it is reviewed.

Who we work with

Accountants, tax advisers, property owners and developers.

Probate & Deceased Estate Valuations

Handled with care and accuracy.

Date-of-death valuations for executors, beneficiaries and estate lawyers, handled with care.

When you need it

Someone has passed away and the estate needs a date-of-death value for probate, distribution between beneficiaries or tax.

What’s involved

An inspection and valuation as at the date of death, explained clearly, with updates to the estate’s solicitor or accountant if you wish.

Who we work with

Executors, administrators, beneficiaries and estate lawyers.
