What Is a Property Litigation Valuation?

A property litigation valuation is an independent, expert assessment of property value prepared specifically for legal proceedings. These professional valuations are conducted by certified property valuers who can act as expert witnesses, providing unbiased evidence that adheres to the Expert Witness Code of Conduct and Australian Property Institute (API) standards.

Unlike standard property appraisals, litigation valuations require rigorous methodologies, detailed reporting, and the ability to withstand cross-examination in court. Our expert witness valuations provide comprehensive market analysis with supporting evidence that courts and legal professionals trust for fair dispute resolution.
