Government

The State and Federal Governments have the power to compulsorily acquire land for public purposes such as public infrastructure, hospitals, roads, pipelines and transmission line easements. Valuers Australia provides independent specialist services and valuations for compulsory acquisition purposes. Our valuers have extensive experience and expert knowledge in the application of the NSW Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 taking into account the market value of the land acquired and all other relevant matters such as the impact on remaining lands, special value, solatium or the non financial disadvantage of the person required to relocate their home, legal fees as well as other financial losses and special provisions.

Independent Property Valuations are sometimes required to determine the current market value of a property or assessments of compensation for Land and Environment Court matters, such as Valuation Appeals and Compensation Claims relating to Compulsory Acquisition. Valuers Australia can offer you the professional advice you need to assist in such matters.

Valuers Australia have had extensive experience in providing independent professional market value assessments of all forms of property, for financial reporting purposes. Valuations are undertaken in accordance with relevant Australian Accounting Standards.

When purchasing a property there are many seen and unseen factors that can affect its value, such as easements, caveats, proximity to main roads, infrastructure and services, quality of construction, aspect and outlook, the strength of the local market and broader economic conditions and influences. A fully independent pre-purchase valuation report gives you, the purchaser, invaluable information when making a major financial decision. Potentially and even more importantly, it provides you with written evidence to use as a powerful tool during the purchase negotiation process.

You don’t want to pay over current market value! Valuers Australia can potentially save you thousands of dollars by providing you with comprehensive information about the actual value of a property and by strengthening your position when negotiating the price of one of the most expensive investments you will make.

When you are considering selling a property it is a good idea to obtain a fully independent pre-sale valuation to find out the true current market value of your property before you see an agent. Agents frequently offer free property appraisals, however agents are not qualified to value property and agent’s appraisals can vary significantly.

A pre-sale valuation from Valuers Australia can help you set the best price for your property and avoid selling your property too cheap or setting the price too high, resulting in potentially costly extended selling periods.

Valuations are often required for transparency purposes and to maintain equity in property dealings between entities, public authorities and individual members of the public.

Sometimes when you sell a property that you purchased prior to July 2000 you are eligible to use the margin scheme for GST purposes and you may require a professionally prepared property valuation. Whilst GST matters are complicated and we recommend you seek advice from the Australian Taxation Office or a suitably qualified accountant, Valuers Australia are fully qualified to provide you with a valuation of your property for GST purposes.
