best property valuers melbourne

“Best” property valuers in Melbourne aren’t the ones with the flashiest logo, but the ones with CPV (Certified Practising Valuer) accreditation via the Australian Property Institute. Look for genuine local experience in your suburb and the right specialty for your brief — lending, family law, tax, CGT, or pre-purchase.

Ask about turnaround times, sample reports, professional indemnity cover, and whether they’re on major bank panels. Check recent reviews but prioritise methodology over marketing; an agent’s “appraisal” isn’t a formal valuation. Get two or three fixed-fee quotes so you’re comparing like-for-like, not apples to inner-north terrazzo. If you need broader help, ServiceCentral can be handy, but for valuation reports stick with CPVs.
