Our valuation and consultancy services include:

Buying - More than likely as a prospective property buyer you have done your own homework and looked at many similar properties to the one you are now interested in purchasing. The question is, however, is it worth what the vendors are asking? Let our independent and professionally trained Valuers give you unbiased advice to put you in a fully informed position when you consider your next purchase. Having a valuation on hand will also give you a handy negotiating tool, particularly if the vendors asking price is too high.

Selling - For some people selling a property can be one of the most stressful things they will ever do. After calling a number of Estate Agents to conduct appraisals, many vendors are still just as confused because, in many cases, they may receive varying opinions. An independent valuation of your property is the best way to inform yourself of the likely selling price.

Tax Depreciation - Property tax allowance provides an opportunity for the owners of income producing properties to reduce their taxable income, improve their cash flow and increase their rate of return. Contact us to arrange preparation of Capital Allowance (Depreciation) schedules that you and your accountant can use to successfully claim these eligible deductions.

Insurance - Eliminate the risk of being under insured in the event of fire or other catastrophe by seeking professional and unbiased advice from our specially trained Valuers which will ensure that you have adequate cover when you renew your policy.
