In legal disputes involving property, an expert witness valuation plays a critical role in ensuring a fair and transparent resolution. Courts and legal professionals rely on independent property valuations to provide accurate, unbiased, and well-documented assessments that can withstand legal scrutiny.

As Certified Practising Valuers and members of the Australian Property Institute, we provide objective and defensible valuation reports to assist clients in litigation cases, property disputes, and legal settlements.

An expert witness property valuation is a professional property appraisal conducted by a certified valuer who provides an unbiased, well-supported report for use in legal proceedings. These valuations are used in courts and tribunals to establish the fair market value of a property in cases involving disputes, litigation, or settlements.
At Keen Property, we understand the importance of objectivity and accuracy when preparing expert witness valuation reports. Our reports are meticulously prepared, free from bias, and supported by market data, ensuring they are legally defensible in court. We strictly adhere to the Expert Witness Code of Conduct – Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005 – Schedule 7, reinforcing our commitment to impartiality and professionalism in legal matters.
Property assets must be fairly divided between parties during divorce proceedings or de facto separations. A professional family law valuation ensures an accurate and unbiased market assessment, aiding in equitable settlements and court decisions.
Our expert witness valuations provide critical support in court proceedings in property disputes, including ownership disagreements, financial fraud investigations, and misrepresentation cases.
When landlords and tenants face lease disputes or compensation claims related to rental values, lease terms, or market assessments, an independent valuation helps resolve conflicts fairly.
In estate settlements, inheritance disputes, and probate matters, our valuations ensure the correct distribution of property assets among beneficiaries, preventing conflicts and legal challenges.
If the government acquires property under compulsory acquisition laws, property owners are entitled to fair compensation. Our expert witness valuations support compensation claims, ensuring that owners receive just market value settlements.
