Brisbane Property Valuations Services
Stamp duty valuations
A Stamp Duty Valuation is required by the Office of State Revenue (Queensland Government) if the property is not sold on the open market and where there is a relationship between the two parties (i.e. between family members) and the sale is not an arms- length transaction.
Only professionally qualified certified practising valuers can provide this market valuation, which will provide the correct figure on which the duty will be assessed.
Stamp Duty Valuations are also required where property is being transferred into a superannuation fund and various trusts and entities.
We provide Stamp Duty Valuations for private customers, Accountants, Solicitors, Conveyance's and Business and Corporate entities.
Brisbane Property Valuations is ideally placed to undertake valuations for Stamp Duty Purposes and not only meet the requirements of the Office of State Revenue, but to also save our client money by ensuring valuation are kept to the lower end of the fair market value range.
Capital gains tax valuations
CGT is the tax payable on capital gains from the sale of an investment property acquired after September 19, 1985. You may be liable for CGT if your capital gains exceed your losses. Gifting a property also triggers a CGT event.
Determining Market Value of the property is essential in calculating CGT.
Brisbane Property Valuations can provide this market valuation. We can also undertake retrospective valuations, back dated to suit client's specific needs.
Pre purchase for home buyers and property investors

It is important that you understand the purchasing process to ensure you don't make mistakes along the way.

3. Back up your decisions with cold hard facts.
Not sure if the property is over-priced. Don't know how much to offer.

Our unbiased independence ensures you need not be drawn into paying over and above fair market value.
