Frequently Asked Questions 

Why is an independent property valuation required for family law matters?

Independent property valuations are commonly required to determine the market value of real estate for property settlement negotiations. An objective valuation prepared by a Certified Practising Valuer helps separating parties, solicitors and mediators establish an agreed market value, reducing disputes and providing reliable evidence for negotiations or Court proceedings where required.

Can a valuation be jointly instructed by both parties?

Yes. Family law property valuations are commonly prepared following a joint instruction from both parties or their legal representatives. A jointly instructed valuation provides an independent assessment of market value that can assist in resolving property settlement matters efficiently while reducing the need for competing valuation evidence.

Can you prepare Court-ordered property valuations?

Yes. Woods Valuation Services can undertake property valuations where ordered by the Court or where expert valuation evidence is required. Reports are prepared independently in accordance with recognised professional standards and supported by relevant market evidence.

What types of property can you value for family law matters?

We provide family law valuations for a wide range of property types including residential homes, investment properties, apartments, rural property, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, retail premises and vacant land,

Are valuations prepared independently?

Yes. Every valuation is prepared independently and objectively by a Certified Practising Valuer (AAPI). Our role is to provide an impartial opinion of market value based on relevant market evidence, irrespective of the interests of either party.

What valuation date is used?

The appropriate valuation date depends on the circumstances of the matter and any instructions received from the parties or the Court. Valuations can be prepared for both current and retrospective valuation dates where required.

How long does a family law valuation take?

Turnaround times vary depending on the property type, complexity and availability of market evidence. Most residential property valuations can generally be completed within several business days following inspection, while larger commercial or specialised properties may require additional analysis. A fixed-fee quotation includes an estimated completion timeframe.

What information is required to obtain a quotation?

To provide an accurate quotation it is generally helpful to know:

• Property address

• Property type

• Purpose of the valuation (Family Law)

• Whether the matter is jointly instructed or Court ordered

• Required valuation date (if known)
