Property Valuation Services

A building replacement cost valuation ensures your strata or multi-unit property is properly insured for the full cost of rebuilding in the event of destruction or major damage. Without this valuation, owners risk either underinsuring — leaving gaps in coverage — or overinsuring, which results in unnecessarily high premiums.

Our valuers prepare detailed reports that include demolition costs, site clearance, and full reconstruction expenses. These valuations protect owners by ensuring their building is covered for the correct amount, giving peace of mind that if the worst should happen, the insurance payout will be adequate to restore the property.

When a property changes use, such as moving from a primary residence to a rental property or vice versa, a retrospective valuation may be required for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes. Our team are experts in preparing CGT valuations that comply with the requirements of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

We use historical sales evidence, market trends, and property data to calculate the correct value at the relevant date. Having an independent CGT valuation ensures you meet your tax obligations without overpaying, potentially saving thousands of dollars while providing accurate documentation for compliance.
