Affordable stamp duty valuations, signed by qualified valuers.

Yes. Every report is prepared to the standard state revenue offices require to assess transfer duty: independent of the parties, certified by a qualified valuer, with clear methodology and comparable sales evidence. Revenue offices routinely reject figures that can't be substantiated, an agent appraisal or an online estimate, which stalls the transfer while better evidence is found. A compliant valuation is designed to be accepted the first time, so settlement isn't held up.

Whenever property changes hands without an arm's-length purchase price, related-party transfers between family members, gifts, transfers of inherited property, and property moving into, out of or between trusts and companies. In those cases there's no market-tested price for the revenue office to rely on, so duty is assessed on the property's market value instead, and you need an evidenced figure to lodge with the transfer documents. Your conveyancer or accountant will usually tell you when one is required.

Yes. Retrospective valuations are available, we can assess market value as at the date of a transfer that has already occurred, backed by historical comparable sales from that period. This comes up when duty is being assessed after the fact, or a past transfer is being reviewed by the revenue office. Nominate the transfer date when you order and the valuer builds the evidence around the market as it stood on that day.

The valuer-signed report is typically delivered the same or next business day, fast enough to keep most conveyancing timelines on track. If settlement is imminent, Express moves your job to the front of the queue for guaranteed same-day delivery. Because it's a desktop valuation there's no site inspection to schedule, which is exactly what keeps the turnaround short.

Yes. A market valuation can support first-home, pensioner and other concession or exemption claims, where eligibility often hinges on the property's value sitting under a threshold, as well as related-party and nominal-consideration transfers. The revenue office needs an evidenced value to test the claim against, and a certified figure puts that beyond argument. Check your state's thresholds with our stamp duty calculator, then order the valuation dated to your transfer.

Every valuation is prepared by a qualified, independent valuer with local market knowledge, someone who values property in that market regularly and understands exactly what state revenue offices require. Independence matters here: because duty turns on market value, revenue offices look for a figure produced at arm's length from the parties to the transfer. The valuer's certification is what makes the report lodgeable, so it's accepted the first time.
