About This Service
What Is Expert Witness Property Valuation?
Expert witness valuations are prepared specifically for use in legal proceedings where an independent, qualified opinion on property value is required by the court. Landmark Valuations act as Single Expert Witnesses (SEW) appointed jointly by both parties, or as party-appointed experts providing opinion evidence on behalf of one side.
Every expert witness report we produce complies with the Expert Witness Code of Conduct, the Federal Court Rules, and the relevant state court practice directions. Our RICS-regulated methodology ensures that reports are transparent, well-reasoned, and capable of withstanding rigorous cross-examination. Each report clearly sets out the valuer’s instructions, methodology, comparable evidence, assumptions, and conclusions.
Expert witness valuations are commonly required in family law property settlements, commercial lease disputes, compulsory acquisition compensation hearings, partnership and joint venture disputes, insurance claim disagreements, and probate challenges. Our valuers have experience giving oral evidence in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, state Supreme Courts, District Courts, and before the Administrative Review Tribunal and state land and valuation tribunals.
