At Acumentis, we provide professional retrospective property valuations for a wide range of purposes, including capital gains tax, estate administration, family law, and financial reporting.
Through a national team of certified practising valuers, we combine local market knowledge, comprehensive historical research and expert property advice to deliver accurate valuations based on a specific past date.
A retrospective property valuation determines the value of a property at a particular point in the past. Unlike a standard current market valuation, a retrospective valuation (also known as a historical property valuation or backdated property valuation) is used to assess a property’s market value as it stood on a chosen date.
Whether you’re calculating capital gains tax, resolving a legal dispute, or preparing for estate distribution, a retrospective property valuation provides the evidence you need based on historical market value and comparable sales data from that time.
These valuations are carried out by certified practising valuers using reliable historical market data to provide accurate valuations that comply with relevant legal and taxation standards. This type of historical valuation of property is especially useful when the current market no longer reflects the property’s past conditions or value.
There are several reasons why individuals, businesses, and legal professionals require a retrospective valuation. Common use cases include:
In each case, a certified valuation based on a specific past date helps meet tax obligations, support legal claims, or satisfy accounting requirements.
Capital gains tax is one of the most common reasons property owners require a retrospective valuation. If you’ve acquired an asset prior to CGT changes or you’re declaring a property’s value at the time it became income-producing, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) may require an accurate assessment of its historical market value.
Acumentis provides retrospective valuation for CGT purposes that aligns with ATO guidelines, delivering professional valuation reports suitable for audits, tax returns, and financial records.
Each valuation is prepared by a certified practising valuer with access to historical market data, ensuring you receive a defensible valuation that reflects the property’s value at a specific point in time.
Acumentis is one of Australia’s most trusted providers of professional valuation services. When it comes to retrospective property valuations, we bring a level of expertise, national reach, and regulatory compliance unmatched in the industry.
Our valuations are used by property investors, legal professionals, accountants, and government entities across the country. Whether it’s a single investment property or a full portfolio, we can assess the value of a property at any specific past date.
Our goal is to make the valuation process straightforward and dependable. Here’s how it works:
We take into account market conditions, property characteristics, and available sales evidence from the relevant timeframe to deliver an accurate and defensible result. In many cases, we also consider original valuations (such as those completed at the time of purchase) to provide additional context on how the property’s value has changed over time.

All retrospective valuations are conducted by certified practising valuers accredited by the Australian Property Institute (API). Many of our valuers also hold AVI and RICS qualifications, reflecting international and industry-recognised standards. This ensures your valuation is prepared by a qualified professional and stands up to scrutiny for tax, legal, and financial purposes.
Most retrospective valuations are completed within 5–10 business days, depending on the property type and available data.
Our certified practising valuers use verified historical market data, detailed comparable sales, and expert analysis of market conditions at the specific point in time you're requesting. Each valuation is tailored to the property's unique characteristics and location.
Where relevant, we may also reference original valuations or compare the historical value to the current market value to provide deeper context. This ensures your report is defensible, compliant, and suitable for ATO, legal, and financial purposes.
