I visit the property for around 20–30 minutes to assess it in person. That means measuring, noting its condition, any renovations or defects, and checking access, zoning and surroundings. Kerbside and desktop assessments are available where appropriate. To help on the day, please make sure there's access, secure any pets, and have plans handy if you have them.

Back at the desk, I analyse the property against recent comparable sales and current market conditions. I verify measurements and apply the right method: direct comparison for most homes, and income capitalisation for investment and commercial assets.

You receive a formal valuation report covering the property description, condition, comparable sales, methodology, key assumptions and risks. It's prepared to Australian Property Institute standards and suitable for lenders, legal matters and personal use.
