Information about land valuers

You may need to use the services of a licensed land valuer in a variety of circumstances, for example, to:

  • determine what a property may sell for on the open market if offered for sale;
  • establish the fair market value for payment of stamp duty on a transaction where the terms of the sale may not have been at arm’s length, such as between family members or between inter-related companies;
  • determine market value for income tax liability;
  • determine a rental amount in accordance with a condition in a lease agreement;
  • settle a marital or business disputes during the course of court proceedings; or
  • assess the suitability of a property for mortgage security in the course of borrowing money.
