Family law valuations require a high level of due diligence and accuracy, noting that a small margin of error can render a significant loss to either party. Sovereign Valuations undertakes forensic data analysis and thorough, detailed reporting for all family law matters, reducing the risk of ongoing disputes and associated legal costs. As part of our engagement, our experts are available for conferences, mediation and court attendance, being familiar with the court hearing process. Sovereign Valuations holds expertise in both real property and business valuations, with qualified experts including both Certified Practicing Valuers and Chartered Accountants. Valuations undertaken for the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia are conducted in accordance with the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Family Law) Rules 2021 and the Expert Witness Code of Conduct. The Valuer’s duty is to provide independent expert evidence to the court and not to act as an advocate to either party. In addition to complying with statutory requirements for expert evidence, Sovereign Valuations upholds the professional standards and codes of ethics set out by the Australian Property Institute (API) and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). We understand that these periods are often stressful for the parties involved and we pledge our utmost discretion and understanding throughout our engagements. https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/self-managed-super-fund-valuations daily 0.75 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1624463552853-E0C9V95W0CND9O44LWB2/Self-managed+super+fund+valuations.jpg SMSF Property Valuations - SMSF Property Valuations Sovereign Valuations is experienced in undertaking property valuations for self-managed super fund (SMSF) compliance purposes. Property valuations are undertaken across all property classes including commercial, industrial, residential and specialised. When undertaking a property valuation for SMSF purposes both the market value and market rent can be assessed. It is common for non-arm’s length leases to be in place between SMSFs and related entities, and it is a requirement that these leases are structured within market parameters. You can view the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements for SMSF valuations by clicking here. Notably, the ATO recommends valuations are undertaken by a qualified valuer particularly when the value of the asset represents a significant proportion of the fund's value or the nature of the asset indicates that the valuation is likely to be complex. SMSF managers are required to prepare annual financial reports which include the market value of assets held within the SMSF. Sovereign Valuations is able to provide yearly assessments to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with ATO requirements. Sovereign Valuations can provide a SMSF fee scale upon request. https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/capital-gains-tax-property-valuations daily 0.75 2024-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1624459371081-FC5YQSXQUUOENZ3U26IL/Capital+Gains+Tax+Valuations.jpg Capital Gains Tax Property Valuations - Capital Gains Tax Valuations Sovereign Valuations is experienced in undertaking property valuations for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes.

Valuation reports have been completed for most courts and tribunals including but not limited to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, County Court, VCAT, NSW LEC, and the Supreme Court. We are cognisant of the high stakes involved in commercial litigation and are aware that an expert evidence property valuation is often the basis of a settlement figure. We do not take our role lightly, with all litigation valuation reports going through the rigour of thorough data analysis and detailed reporting, reducing the risk of ongoing disputes and associated legal costs. As part of our engagement, our experts are available for conferences, mediation and court attendance, being familiar with the court hearing process. Property valuations provided for court are conducted in accordance with the Expert Witness Code of Conduct, noting that the Valuer’s duty is to provide independent expert evidence to the court and not to act as an advocate to either party. We take pride in upholding the professional standards and codes of ethics established by the Australian Property Institute (API) and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/financial-reporting-property-valuations daily 0.75 2023-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1624474130227-LLLG2K77GQAANEKZ6VYG/Financial+Reporting+Property+Valuations Financial Reporting Property Valuations - Financial Reporting Property Valuations Sovereign Valuations is experienced in undertaking property valuations for financial reporting purposes in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Corporations Act 2001 stipulates a requirement for true and fair financial statements to be prepared and audited. The Australian Securities & Investment Committee (ASIC) monitors compliance of the Corporations Act 2001 and encourages the following with regards to valuations: Valuations are carried out by unbiased valuers and valuers are periodically rotated by the responsible entity. Valuations are reasonably current and regular. Valuations are performed using appropriate methods and assumptions for that asset class. ‘Fair Value’ is assessed in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement issued by the AASB and which incorporates IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). Fair Value is defined within AASB 13 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair Value assessments need to withstand auditing with Auditing and Assurance Standard AUS 526 issued by the Auditing & Assurance Standards Board (AUASB) setting out standards and guidance on auditing fair value measurements and disclosures contained in financial statements. Other relevant accounting standards to be considered include AASB 16 pertaining to the valuation of lease assets and liabilities, AASB 116 pertaining to property, plant and equipment and AASB 140 pertaining to investment property. Sovereign Valuations has expertise in providing independent Fair Value assessments across an array of property classes including office, industrial, medical, residential and specialised assets. Our clientele range from small and medium-sized enterprises through to large private and public companies with assets valued ranging from $1 billion plus institutional grade assets to sub $5 million suburban commercial properties. https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/stamp-duty-property-valuations daily 0.75 2021-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1624470842883-LTHTYVW9FD7SOFLP0IQF/stamp-duty-property-valuations.jpg Stamp Duty Property Valuations - Stamp Duty Property Valuations Sovereign Valuations is experienced in undertaking property valuations for stamp duty purposes. An accurate assessment of market value is imperative to ensuring you do not pay any more stamp duty than required. Each property valuation undertaken by Sovereign Valuations undergoes extensive analysis, putting our clients in the best position possible. Stamp duty property valuation reports undertaken by our firm comply with relevant state authority requirements including those of the State Revenue Office (SRO) in Victoria and Revenue NSW in New South Wales. The SRO stipulates a property valuation is required for stamp duty in the following circumstances: You are given property as a gift. You purchase property from a friend, an associated person or an associated entity. You purchase property at a discounted price or for some form of non-monetary consideration. Your purchase involves a fractional interest in property. You purchase property in connection with a business for a total sum of more than $1 million. The purchase price of your property is equal to or less than the property’s current capital improved value for rating purposes. The SRO advises a property valuation for stamp duty must be undertaken by a valuer accredited with the Australian Property Institute (API) and can be dated as at any date within six months of the transfer date. https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/market-rent-valuations daily 0.75 2021-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1624472143645-Y4SIQYD7C4UOXKY8TCMN/market-rent-valuations.jpg Market Rent Valuations - Market Rent Valuations Sovereign Valuations is experienced in undertaking market rent valuations and determinations with experience across all major property classes. When undertaking a market rent valuation, it is important to have an understanding of both the terms of the lease and any relevant legislation governing the lease, which in many instances includes the provisions of the Retail Leases Act 2003 in Victoria and the Retail Leases Act 1994 in New South Wales. The terms of the lease including incentives, outgoings, review formulas and permitted use are some of the many elements to be considered when assessing the market rent. ‘Market rent’ is defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) as “the estimated amount for which an interest in real property should be leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on appropriate lease terms in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.” The accurate measurement of area is a critical step in assessing a market rent, noting that different property classes have different measurement methods, which can have a significant impact on the market rent. The Australian Property Institute recommends the measurement of area in accordance with Method of Measurement published by the Property Council of Australia and International Property Measurement Standards published by the International Property Measurement Standards Coalition. It is important for the Valuer to consider which measurement convention and metric is adopted by the market being assessed, as consistency across rental evidence and the subject property is an important step towards an accurate market rent valuation. The majority of non-complex commercial holdings are valued on a direct comparison basis with the analysis of a market rate per square metre, however ‘trade related property’ such as hotels, nightclubs, service stations and theatres can be valued using the profits method (also known as the income approach). A trade related property is defined within RICS Valuation - Global Standards as “any type of real property designed for a specific type of business where the property value reflects the trading potential of that business”. When undertaking the profits method it is important to note that both the Retail Leases Act 2003 in Victoria and the Retail Leases Act 1994 in New South Wales both specifically state that the goodwill of the tenant is to be excluded in the valuation of market rent. Additional profit of a tenant over and beyond the expectations of the market can be attributable to personal goodwill and as such should be excluded in a market rent valuation should an above Act apply. Obtaining quality advice within this specialised field of valuations is imperative to ensuring a satisfactory outcome for both the lessor and lessee. https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/compulsory-acquisition-property-valuations daily 0.75 2026-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1624515650896-L9W57JFY74U3L9SY9XTR/compulsory-acquisition-property-valuations.jpg Compulsory Acquisition Property & Business Valuations - Compulsory Acquisition Property & Business Valuations Sovereign Valuations is a market leader in the field of compulsory acquisition valuations, undertaking compensation assessment nationwide. Sovereign Valuations has represented dispossessed parties, acquiring authorities and the Valuer General. The compulsory acquisition of land occurs when an authority requires an interest in land for a public purpose, which can include road widening, transmission lines, gas pipelines, drainage and many other forms of infrastructure. Sovereign Valuations is experienced in undertaking compensation assessments for both freehold and leasehold interests, with expertise across both property and business loss claims. Engaging a valuation firm that is experienced in compulsory acquisition matters is a critical step to ensuring an adequate sum of compensation is achieved. Further to assessing the relevant heads of compensation, the valuer must be able to articulate and defend their position within intensive conference and court settings. We have provided compulsory acquisition advice for complex whole and partial acquisitions of englobo industrial and residential development sites, institutional grade CBD properties, along with conventional commercial and residential holdings. Our recent engagements have included compensation assessments in excess of $100 million and have been across the following projects: Yan Yean Road Upgrade Stage 2 Suburban Rail Loop Central-West Orana Transmission Project Sydney Metro West North East Link Level Crossing Removal Project HumeLink Cardinia Creek Regional Parklands Project New Shellharbour Hospital Project and Integrated Services Project Warrawong District Community Centre and Library Wagga Wagga Special Activation Precinct Partial acquisition of Goulburn Court House Various authority and private easements Compulsory acquisition valuations are a specialised valuation field with our firm cognisant of the relevant legislative requirements set out in the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (VIC), Land Acquisition & Compensation Act 1986 (VIC), the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (NSW) and the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (QLD). Further to statute law requirements we are regularly updated with regards to case law outcomes, providing notable precedence for complex valuation matters. Both the landlord and tenant can have a claim for compensation in a compulsory acquisition matter, noting the landlord has a freehold interest in the property and the tenant has a leasehold interest. Sovereign Valuations has experience in assessing both freehold and leasehold interests. Land Acquisition & Compensation Act 1986 (VIC) The Land Acquisition & Compensation Act 1986 (VIC) stipulates the following items of compensation are to be assessed: Section 41 (1)(a) - the market value of the interest on the date of acquisition; Section 41 (1)(b) - the special value to the claimant on the date of acquisition; Section 41 (1)(c) - any loss attributable to severance; Section 41 (1)(d) - any loss attributable to disturbance; Section 41 (1)(e) - the enhancement or depreciation in value of the interest of the claimant, at the date of acquisition, in other land adjoining or severed from the acquired land by reason of the implementation of the purpose for which the land was acquired; Section 41 (1)(f) - any legal, valuation and other professional expenses necessarily incurred by the claimant by reason of the acquisition of the interest. Section 44 (1) - The amount of compensation may be increased by such amount, not exceeding 10% of the market value of the land, by way of solatium as is reasonable to compensate the claimant for intangible and non-pecuniary disadvantages resulting from the acquisition. There are additional provisions within the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (VIC) that allow for ‘planning compensation’ to be claimed. There are many situations where planning compensation can be payable including but not limited to planning permit refusal, loss on sale, loss suffered from a proposed acquisition becoming public information, road closure and removal or amendment of a Public Acquisition Overlay. Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (NSW) The Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (NSW) stipulates the following items of compensation are to be assessed: Section 55 (a) - the market value of the land on the date of its acquisition, Section 55 (b) - any special value of the land on the date of its acquisition, Section 55 (c) - any loss attributable to severance, Section 55 (d) - any loss attributable to disturbance, Section 55 (e) - the disadvantage resulting from relocation, Section 55 (f) - any increase or decrease in the value of any other land of the person at the date of acquisitions which adjoins or is severed from the acquired land by reason of the carrying out of, or the proposal to carry out, the public purpose for which the land was acquired. Sovereign Valuations can be contacted for an obligation free initial consultation. Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (QLD) Compensation for the compulsory acquisition of land in Queensland is typically assessed in accordance with section 20 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (QLD). The Act includes but is not limited to the following regarding compensation: In assessing the compensation to be paid, regard shall in every case be had not only to the value of land taken but also— (a) to the damage, if any, caused by any of the following—(i) the severing of the land taken from other land of the claimant;(ii) the exercise of any statutory powers by the constructing authority otherwise injuriously affecting the claimant’s other land mentioned in subparagraph (i) ; and (b) to the claimant’s costs attributable to disturbance. "costs attributable to disturbance" , in relation to the taking of land, means all or any of the following— (a) legal costs and valuation or other professional fees reasonably incurred by the claimant in relation to the preparation and filing of the claimant’s claim for compensation; (b) the following costs relating to the purchase of land by a claimant to replace the land taken—(i) stamp duty reasonably incurred or that might reasonably be incurred by the claimant, but not more than the amount of stamp duty that would be incurred for the purchase of land of equivalent value to the land taken;(ii) financial costs reasonably incurred or that might reasonably be incurred by the claimant in relation to the discharge of a mortgage and the execution of a new mortgage, but not more than the amount that would be incurred if the new mortgage secured the repayment of the balance owing in relation to the discharged mortgage;(iii) legal costs reasonably incurred by the claimant;(iv) other financial costs, other than any taxation liability, reasonably incurred by the claimant; (c) removal and storage costs reasonably incurred by the claimant in relocating from the land taken; (d) costs reasonably incurred by the claimant to connect to any services or utilities on relocating from the land taken; (e) other financial costs that are reasonably incurred or that might reasonably be incurred by the claimant, relating to the use of the land taken, as a direct and natural consequence of the taking of the land; (f) an amount reasonably attributed to the loss of profits resulting from interruption to the claimant’s business that is a direct and natural consequence of the taking of the land; (g) other economic losses and costs reasonably incurred by the claimant that are a direct and natural consequence of the taking of the land. https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/insurance-replacement-valuations daily 0.75 2021-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1626746582812-VFGCIJHC96GJQ76XTD0L/insurance+replacement Insurance Replacement Valuations - Insurance Replacement Valuations Sovereign Valuations is experienced in undertaking property valuations for insurance replacement purposes. An accurate insurance replacement valuation is imperative to ensuring your investment is adequately insured should a disaster strike. It is important to note that construction costs within many markets have increased significantly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic due to many reasons including: Impacted global supply chains leading to increased cost of building materials Labour shortages Increase in the number of infrastructure projects An insurance replacement valuation estimates the replacement cost of the property. The replacement cost is the estimated total cost, at the date of valuation, to reconstruct the property to a condition equal to, but not better or more extensive than its condition when new. The property is assumed to be reconstructed to a modern equivalent ‘as new’ including any allowances for removal of any remains and debris, professional fees, upgrading with modern equivalent materials, equipment and services to meet current building regulations in accordance with the building code of Australia and to the local council regulations. It is an estimate of probable cost to replace the built structures and external improvements made to land, wholly contained within the boundaries. The replacement cost estimate considers the following costs: Demolition and removal of debris Building cost Landscaping and site works Professional fees GST Escalation of building costs during demolition, design and tender process Escalation over insurance period for 12 months Contingency Sovereign Valuations uses the most up to date price indicators published by Rawlinson’s Australian Construction Handbook.

A desktop valuation is not to be misconstrued for a formal valuation, however it can be a practical solution where physical access to a property is not possible and the instructing party understands the inherent risks of the valuer not physically inspecting the property. A desktop property valuation is commonly referred to as a ‘desktop assessment’, as it does not satisfy the professional standards required by the Australian Property Institute (API) and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) for a formal valuation. Assisting with the accuracy of desktop assessments is the increasing amount of data readily available, which includes Google Street View imagery, aerial mapping, online video walkthroughs and photographs, Council data and online floorplans. Depending upon the instruction, the valuer can also rely upon property information supplied by the instructing party. We are available to discuss your property matter and can advise if a desktop assessment is a viable option, or whether a formal property valuation is appropriate. https://www.sovereignvaluations.com.au/property-valuers-sydney daily 0.75 2022-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7456ec3c353a6c701b00e9/1641726715029-TD8K46A4KCFD18Y1V31L/unsplash-image-Aq9QFwYtl6c.jpg Property Valuers Sydney - Property Valuers Sydney Sovereign Valuations has experienced property valuers in Sydney ready to assist with your property valuation matter.

Within New South Wales a qualified property valuer is required to complete a Valuer’s Certificate within SP Form 3.07, whereby the property valuer apportions unit entitlement to each unit based upon relative levels of market value. As an example, if a development has four units, with Units 1 and 2 being valued at $2 million each and Units 3 and 4 being valued at $1 million each, then the unit entitlement would be apportioned as 200 each to Units 1 and 2, and 100 each to Units 3 and 4. NSW Land Registry Services provides the following guidance as to the Valuer’s Certificate: The Valuer’s Certificate is to certify the schedule of unit entitlement. This must be completed by a qualified valuer and provide the following: the valuer’s full name the company the valuer works for or where there is no company, the valuer’s full address confirmation that the valuer is a “qualified valuer” as defined in section 4(1) Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 the professional body of which the valuer is a member, and the valuer’s class of membership and their membership number You can view further NSW Land Registry Services requirements with regards to unit entitlement valuations by clicking here.
