About This Purpose
What Is Property Valuation for Divorce?
During divorce or separation, an independent property valuation is essential for achieving a fair property settlement. The Family Court of Australia requires valuations from qualified, independent valuers who can provide an unbiased assessment of market value. Whether proceedings are amicable or contested, a professionally prepared valuation ensures that property assets are divided equitably and in accordance with the Family Law Act 1975.
Landmark provides both Single Expert Witness (SEW) valuations — where one valuer is jointly appointed by both parties — and party-appointed valuations where each party engages their own expert. Our reports comply with the Family Law Act 1975, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia rules, and the Expert Witness Code of Conduct. Every valuation is prepared in accordance with RICS Red Book Global Standards 2025, providing the rigour and credibility that family law proceedings demand.
We value all property types relevant to the settlement pool: the matrimonial home, investment properties, commercial assets, rural holdings, and mixed-use developments. Our valuers understand the nuances of family law valuations, including the treatment of renovations, encumbrances, and properties held in trusts or company structures.

Next Steps
What happens after the valuation?
The valuation report forms the basis of property settlement negotiations or court-ordered division of assets. In consent orders, both parties agree on the property values and use them to calculate the overall asset pool. In contested matters, the valuation is submitted as expert evidence and may be tested through cross-examination.
A RICS-certified valuation carries significant weight with the Family Court due to the internationally recognised methodology and professional standards it represents. Where a Single Expert Witness has been appointed, the court typically gives considerable weight to that valuation unless compelling reasons exist to depart from it.
