Independent property and business valuations, Australia-wide.

Sovereign Valuations is an independent Australian firm providing property and business valuations for tax, litigation, compulsory acquisition, family law, lending, superannuation and financial reporting purposes. We value residential, commercial, industrial and specialised assets, including service stations, quarries, childcare centres and schools, as well as shares, units and whole businesses.

We have offices in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, and provide valuations across every Australian state and territory, including regional and remote locations. Desktop valuations are available where the purpose allows a valuation without an inspection.

Property valuations are prepared by Certified Practising Valuers (CPVs). A CPV holds current certification from the Australian Property Institute, which requires adherence to professional and ethical standards and ongoing professional development. Business valuations are prepared by specialist business valuers, and our team includes members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Yes. Where a report is prepared for proceedings, we prepare it in accordance with the applicable expert witness code of conduct and practice notes, with a clear statement of instructions, assumptions and reasoning. Our valuers have given expert evidence, including under cross-examination, in the Supreme Courts of Victoria and New South Wales, VCAT and the NSW Land and Environment Court. We also accept single expert appointments in family law matters.

Yes. We assess compensation for land, leasehold and business interests acquired for public infrastructure, under the relevant state legislation. This includes market value, severance, disturbance and other heads of compensation. We work alongside legal advisers from the initial claim through negotiation and, where required, court or tribunal proceedings.

Yes. We value shares, units in unit trusts and whole businesses for capital gains tax, stamp duty, family law, disputes and transactions. Where a matter involves both property and a business, such as a service station, childcare centre or owner-occupied premises, our property and business valuers work on it together so the figures are consistent.

If you hold property, shares or a business and may need to establish market value at 1 July 2027 for capital gains tax purposes, confirm your position with your accountant or tax adviser and brief us early, as demand for valuations at a single date builds quickly. Valuations as at 1 July 2027 can also be prepared retrospectively after that date.

Timeframes depend on the type of property or business, the purpose of the valuation and access for inspection. Desktop valuations are generally the quickest option, while litigation and compulsory acquisition matters are programmed around the court or claim timetable. Your fee proposal confirms the timeframe before work begins, and urgent requests are accommodated where possible.

Most valuations are quoted as a fixed fee once we understand the asset, the purpose and the deadline. Expert witness and litigation matters may be charged at hourly rates. Your fee proposal sets out the scope, fee and payment terms, and work begins once it has been accepted.

Yes. Sovereign Valuations is not aligned with any lender, real estate agency or developer, and our fees do not depend on the valuation outcome. We check for conflicts of interest before accepting each engagement, and we are certified to ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 27001 (information security).
