Family Law Property Valuation in Sydney

For any family law property valuation in Sydney, you will require a highly reputable expert valuer. For NSW-wide matters, see our property valuation in NSW page. The valuer must be reliable and trustworthy. We have two guiding principles here at Valuations NSW which are honesty and integrity. We act on our principles with each family law property valuation we produce.

All family law valuations are custom made to suit the needs of each client. The document will be legally certified and formatted to the standards of the Courts. Unlike a property settlement valuation, which is formatted as a short-form report, family law valuations will be long-form reports which are comprehensive valuation reports of over 25 pages in length. The amount of detail a valuer will go into is extensive and thus a family law valuation involves an in-depth inspection of the property.

For local coverage, typical turnaround times, and the areas we service, visit our Property Valuation in Sydney page.

The valuer will conduct both an internal and external inspection of the subject property. They will ask for access to floor plans. If none are available within the timeframe, a valuer will take the time to measure the dimensions of the property themselves. Along with the property’s size and dimensions, the following may also be considered when valuing property in family law settlements:

The age of the property and its general condition including the state of fixtures, finishings, walls etc.
Relevant local information, including the proximity to the CBD and amenities such as parks, transportation, and schools
The amount of parking available and its types such as street parking, garage, gated driveway, or carport
Details of recent renovations, additions or changes made to the property
Market data and recent sales of comparable properties

There are many more considerations that are factored into the calculations of your property’s value. Every factor is included in the report to prove the accuracy and validity of the property valuation.
