A supported property value for a duty assessment.
Independent market value reports for property transfers where a revenue authority or adviser requires valuation evidence. We define the interest and date, examine comparable transactions and document the assumptions behind the conclusion.
Duty and valuation are related, but distinct.
The relevant revenue authority assesses duty under the applicable law. Our role is to provide an independent valuation of the specified property interest at the required date. Requirements can differ by state and transaction, so we confirm the purpose and any authority instructions before quoting.
When a valuation may be requested
Related parties
A transfer between family members, associated entities or other parties where the consideration may not reflect market value.
Gifts and part interests
A gift or transfer of a fractional interest requiring a supported value for the interest transferred.
Complex property
Commercial, development or specialised assets where comparable evidence and assumptions need careful analysis.
The report should show its workings.
We match the valuation premise and date to the instruction, then reconcile the relevant market evidence.
- Property title and the interest being transferred
- Contract or transfer details and effective valuation date
- Inspection, condition and property characteristics
- Planning controls, leases and other encumbrances
- Comparable transactions and adjustments
- Method, assumptions, limitations and value conclusion
Confirm the requirement, then value the property.
A focused instruction helps avoid a report prepared for the wrong interest or date.

Questions we’re asked.
Speak with a valuer if your matter needs a more specific answer.
When might I need a stamp duty valuation?
A revenue authority or adviser may request one for a gift, related party transfer or transaction where consideration does not establish market value.
Do requirements vary by state?
Yes. The applicable authority, valuation date and report requirements depend on the transaction and jurisdiction.
Can you value at a past date?
Yes, where suitable historical evidence is available. We specify the date and any limits on the evidence.
Do you calculate the duty payable?
No. We provide the property value. Your adviser or the revenue authority determines the duty assessment.
Confirm the interest, date and authority request.
Send us the property address, transaction details and any instructions from your adviser or revenue authority. We will confirm scope, fee and timing.
