Servicing NSW: Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and regional areas (availability varies by property type and access).

Our Certified Practising Valuers (CPVs) provide evidence-based valuation reports across NSW.

Tell us the property address and what you need the valuation for. We’ll confirm scope, inspection requirements, and the right report format before proceeding.

How to choose a property valuer in NSW

Not all “valuation” outputs are the same. If the result matters, use a clear checklist:

Credentials: ensure the valuer is a CPV and can produce a formal report suited to your purpose.
Independence: avoid conflicts (a valuer shouldn’t be selling the property).
Relevant experience: strata vs house vs rural vs commercial require different evidence and approach.
Purpose-fit reporting: probate, lending, family law and tax can require different assumptions or formats.
Local market knowledge: NSW evidence selection and comparable analysis must be appropriate to the area.
Scope + turnaround clarity: get the deliverables, timing and limitations confirmed upfront.

Questions to ask before you engage a valuer

What is the valuation purpose and who will rely on the report?
Do you need inspection, and what access is required?
What property type evidence will be used (sales, income, cost checks)?
Will the report be suitable for my end use (lender/court/tax/SMSF)?
What is the expected turnaround and what could delay it?

If you’re unsure, we’ll help you confirm the right valuation purpose before inspection and reporting.

What Does a Property Valuer Do?

A property valuer is a trained professional who assesses property value based on market evidence and recognised valuation methods. A valuer’s role is to provide an independent view of value — documented in a report that explains the evidence used and the rationale behind the final figure.

Property valuers are commonly engaged when a valuation needs to be:

Formal (documented and evidence-based)
Independent (not influenced by a sale)
Fit for a specific purpose (legal, taxation, lending, compliance, reporting)

Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) — Why It Matters

Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) matters when your valuation needs to be relied upon. A CPV is trained to apply appropriate methods, document reasoning and maintain professional independence and conduct.

Working with a CPV helps ensure:

Clear methodology and documented reasoning
Appropriate market evidence selection and analysis
Independence and professional conduct
A report prepared to the valuation purpose (e.g., probate, family law, taxation, lending)

Property valuers FAQs

How do I know if I need a property valuer or an agent appraisal?

If the outcome relies on accuracy or the result needs to be relied on (lending, tax, probate, court, SMSF), a formal valuation report is typically required. An appraisal is usually for sale guidance only.

What should I provide to get an accurate quote?

Property address, property type, and the valuation purpose. If it’s strata, strata plan info helps. If it’s commercial, lease details may be required.

Do you value strata, rural and commercial property?

Yes. We undertake residential, strata, rural and commercial valuations across NSW, subject to location and access.

What access is required for an inspection?

Access requirements vary by property type. We’ll confirm what’s needed (internal inspection, site access, documentation) before scheduling.

How long does it take to receive the report?

Timing depends on scheduling, complexity and evidence. We confirm expected delivery when quoting.

Do you service regional NSW?

Yes. We service Sydney and regional NSW. Availability varies depending on property type, access and scheduling.
