Assessment Appeals
Independent valuation analysis to support the review of a property assessment.
Who we work with
Property owners, asset managers and their advisers need valuation analysis when reviewing whether a property assessment is supported by the relevant property facts and market evidence.
When you need us
An assessment review requires evidence relevant to the property, valuation date and issues in dispute.
What we do
Research comparable properties and market evidence
Prepare appraisal analysis and supporting evidence
What you receive
We explain the valuation findings so owners and their advisers can assess the basis of an appeal and prepare for discussions or a hearing.
What we need to begin
Provide the assessment notice, property records, the valuation date being considered and any analysis already received. Include leases, income and expense information where relevant, plus the issues and deadlines identified by your advisers.

Questions & answers
Does a recent sale price settle the valuation question?
A sale can be relevant evidence, but its timing, terms and relationship to the required valuation basis need examination. The assignment should not assume that one transaction resolves every issue.
Can the analysis be useful even if it supports the assessment?
Yes. Independent review can help identify whether further valuation work is warranted and clarify which points are supported by evidence.
What if the property information is wrong?
Identify the discrepancy and provide plans, measurements or other records supporting the correction. We assess how the disputed characteristics affect the valuation analysis within the agreed scope.
