Adam Scerri, State Director - Residential NSW

Divorce settlements can be emotionally challenging and stressful, especially when it comes to dividing assets.

Property valuation is a critical component of this process, as it helps determine how assets will be distributed. Engaging a property valuer expert early in the process can provide numerous benefits, including avoiding conflicts and ensuring a fair settlement. In this article, we explore why property valuation is crucial in divorce settlements and the advantages of early engagement of a property valuer expert.

Why do we need a property valuer in divorce settlements?

In family law divorce settlements, disputes, and mediations, property valuation plays a crucial role in determining the equitable distribution of assets. The value of properties is a significant factor that determines the financial settlement in a divorce case. Therefore, it is essential to engage a property valuer expert early in the process to avoid complications and ensure a fair settlement.

When do we engage a property valuer?

Early engagement of a property valuer expert can provide several benefits. Firstly, it can help to avoid conflicts and disputes between parties. With a property valuer's expert opinion, both parties can agree on the value of the property and avoid unnecessary litigation. This can help to reduce the cost and time involved in the process, allowing both parties to move on with their lives more quickly.

Secondly, an early engagement of a property valuer expert can ensure that all relevant factors are taken into consideration when determining the value of the property. This ensures that the final settlement is fair and reasonable, taking into account all the relevant factors.

Lastly, an early engagement of a property valuer expert can help to identify any issues that may affect the property's value. This can include defects, damage, or other issues that may affect the property's worth. By identifying these issues early on, both parties can take appropriate steps to address them, which can help to increase the value of the property.

Early engagement can help to avoid conflicts, ensure a fair settlement, and identify any issues that may impact the property's value. It is crucial to engage an expert early in the process to achieve a positive outcome for all parties involved.
