Retrospecti ve Property Valuations – Greater Brisbane & Gold Coast

Purpose of a Retrospective Valuation

A retrospective valuation provides an independent assessment of market value at a historical date rather than the current market value date.

Retrospective valuations are commonly required for:

• Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

• Deceased estates and probate

• Family law and matrimonial settlements

• Stamp duty and transfer duty matters

• SMSF compliance and reporting

• Financial reporting requirements

• Business restructuring

• Related-party transfers

• Litigation and dispute resolution

• Historical asset reporting and taxation matters

An independent retrospective valuation provides objective market evidence relevant to the required valuation date and supports legal, taxation and compliance obligations.

Valuation Standards & Historical Market Analysis

Retrospective valuations are prepared:

• In accordance with recognised professional valuation standards

• Using historical market evidence relevant to the valuation date

• With reference to comparable sales and market conditions existing at the time

• With clearly stated assumptions, methodology and supporting analysis

Historical valuations require detailed investigation of archived market data, transaction evidence, planning controls and economic conditions relevant to the specified date.

Reports are suitable for reliance by solicitors, accountants, tax advisers, courts, auditors, SMSF trustees and private clients where independent historical valuation advice is required.

Valuation Approach

All retrospective valuations are:

• Prepared independently and free from conflicts of interest

• Evidence-based and supported by historical market analysis

• Clearly reasoned and purpose-specific

The valuation process typically involves analysis of:

• Historical comparable sales evidence

• Market trends and conditions at the valuation date

• Property characteristics and improvements existing at the relevant time

• Planning and zoning controls applicable at the valuation date

• Highest and best use considerations where relevant

Clients deal directly with the valuer throughout the engagement to ensure clarity regarding the valuation date, purpose, assumptions and reporting requirements.
