Frequently Asked Questions

What types of legal matters do you work on?

Our valuers provide evidence and advice in family law property settlements, commercial and civil disputes, lease and rent disputes, deceased estates, compulsory acquisition and compensation claims, professional negligence claims, and stamp duty matters.

Are your valuers experienced in giving evidence in court?

Yes. Our senior litigation valuers give evidence in state and federal courts and tribunals, and are experienced in cross-examination and concurrent evidence, known as "hot-tubbing."

How do single expert appointments work?

We need joint instructions from all parties' representatives. From then on, all communication is shared with every party, usually in writing, to protect the valuer's independence. The valuer's duty is to the court, not to either party.

Can you review another valuer's report without a full valuation?

Yes. As a shadow expert, we can review the other side's report and advise your team on whether the sales evidence supports its conclusion and whether the methodology is sound.

Can you value a property as at a past date?

Yes. We regularly value property as at a specific past date, such as the date of a transaction, a separation, or a death, using historical sales evidence and property records from that time. See our retrospective valuations page for more.
