Why You Need A Certified Professional Valuer
At The Valuers Group we use industry experts in consultation with me, Gary Ryan, certified asset valuer to produce the best accurate valuations on many different assets. Our company is certified as a valuation production company and our employees and contractors are covered by public indemnity insurance. If a person produces a valuation report and is not a certified valuer affiliated with a certified valuation company he cannot get indemnity insurance. Any person without accreditation can only produce

Family Law Matters.
be in the format required by the Federal Circuit and Family Law Court of Australia. The
inspection must be conducted by a person who can demonstrate that he/she is qualified to act as
an expert witness in court. There are many experts in various fields, most aren’t certified valuers.
Because a valuer cannot be an expert in every case he may contract the services of an expert/s in
various fields and work in collaboration with them. The valuer would then compile, edit and
produce the finished report. In this way a valuation report can include all the assets in one document
saving time and money.
Probate
required to ascertain the worth of the deceased’s assets. He may have died intestate, there may be
a dispute on the value of an asset, or a value may need to be placed on an asset offered for sale
by the estate. These valuations must be in the correct format and be admissible as evidence in
court if needed.
Recommendation as to an Agreed Valuation For Insurance Purposes

price guide for whatever reason, modification, rarity, added equipment or modification for a specific
purpose etc.

employer, an independent valuation conducted by a certified valuer should be sought. For example, trucks
quite often change hands in this way.
Pre-Incident Valuation
insufficient. A pre incident valuation is the determination of the value of an asset before an incident has
taken place. The incident may be by way of an accident, tempest, flood, theft, or any other cause of loss
of market value. Where an assessor has performed a valuation unless he is a certified valuer his evidence
can only be an appraisal and would not hold water if in conflict with a certified valuer. You don’t have to
agree with your insurance company, and you have every right to put forward evidence that disputes their
assessment. Most times the insurance companies get it right, we would have a look at their offer and then
advise if we think we can help.
Determination of Duty on Imported vehicles, Boats, and Equipment

the country. Imported vehicles must comply with Australian standards but will probably not have a
market value as great as Australian standard complied vehicles imported new.

importer provided by an expert valuer who will not take into account any modification charges, fee, taxes
or duty on the vehicle. Various other factors are taken into account as where a vehicle is imported at a
fraction of the cost of available vehicles in Australia or conversely where there may be a ‘grey import
stigma’ on the vehicle. The importation of used vehicles, boats and equipment will generally incur a
government stamp duty charge the amount of this charge will be determined by the valuer’s report. The
parameters for this type of valuation are specialised and so with imported assets already in the country
(imported cars nearly always carry an import stigma and are known as grey imports, these will generally
have a lesser market value than cars that have been manufactured to comply when manufactured).
