Property Settlements & Independent Guidance
During a separation, uncertainty and emotional strain often complicate property discussions. We support you by providing a structured assessment grounded in market evidence and the condition of the home. Our family law valuations give both parties clarity and reduce assumptions that can lead to disputes.
Many clients use our reporting to negotiate an outcome without escalating to arbitration. When both parties appoint us jointly, we follow Family Law Court requirements and maintain an equal duty of care. This ensures transparent, fair outcomes that support each party’s next steps.
If you need direction before starting negotiations, reach out to our team for guidance.
Assessing Property for Family Law Purposes
When carrying out family law valuations, we inspect the property closely and rely on comparable sales to confirm market value. We consider fixtures, brand names, recent renovations and the overall condition of improvements, as each element can influence the adopted figure. Our approach follows accepted valuation principles supported by court methodology.
Reports can be used in court or in discussions with valuers appointed by the other party. We include the required Statement of Compliance with Family Court rules, and most reports are issued within 5–7 working days of inspection.
If you’re preparing for legal or negotiation steps, ask us how we can support your matter.
Deceased Estates & Internal Family Transfers
Executors often rely on family law valuations to provide a fair and defensible position when managing estate assets. A full valuation helps establish a realistic reserve price for sale and offers protection against claims of underselling. When one beneficiary intends to buy out others, an independent valuation also ensures transparency and avoids unnecessary conflict.
These reports can clarify capital gains implications and provide an objective basis for decision-making during an already sensitive time. If you’re managing an estate, get in touch with our team and we can guide you through the valuation requirements.
Why a Valuation & Not an Appraisal?
Family law valuations offer a level of accuracy and independence that real estate appraisals cannot match. Appraisals often rely on assumptions about future market behaviour or asking prices rather than confirmed sales. A formal valuation delivers a single, evidence-based figure supported by comparable data and clear reasoning. This method aligns with the approach preferred by courts when determining fair market value.
Choosing a formal valuation gives you reliable foundations for negotiation and reduces the risk of disputes. If you’re weighing up your options, we can help you understand which report best suits your situation. Please contact our team for more information.
What Our Customers Say
FAQ
How is the value of a house determined in a divorce?
In family law matters, the parties or their legal representatives may engage an independent property valuer to provide an opinion of value. When a valuer is jointly appointed, the report is treated as a neutral assessment for use in negotiations or administrative processes.
Valuers generally complete a comparative review of recent sales of similar properties and consider characteristics that may influence value. Factors such as significant improvements, condition, layout, in-ground pools or upgraded systems can form part of this review.
Any notable changes to the property over time may also be recorded to help outline how the asset has evolved since purchase.
After inspecting the property and gathering supporting evidence, the valuer prepares a report that can be supplied to the parties and their advisors for use in the relevant family law steps.
Why do I need an independent property valuer to perform a property valuation if I go through a divorce?
During a separation, an independent property valuer can provide a neutral assessment of a property’s market value. This helps ensure the information used in discussions or administrative processes is based on consistent evidence rather than personal views.
Some couples choose to proceed without a formal valuation when arrangements are amicable. However, an independent report can help both parties understand the property’s assessed value and may support clearer communication during settlement steps.
