FAQs

Do I need a property valuation?

It is strongly recommended to get a property valuation if you are considering buying or selling a property, are splitting joint assets, are reporting financial assets, or need to determine the rental value of a property, amongst other reasons. This ensures that you are equipped with the accurate market value of the property in question, before proceeding with plans.

Why do I need a valuation report?

A valuation report details the property’s location, condition, and other important factors to accurately determine the market value of the property, prior to buying, selling, or renting. This information lets you know if the price you intend to pay or sell for is accurate, which may save you money and heartache further down the road.
