When transferring property ownership between family members, related entities, or self-managed super funds (SMSFs), Revenue NSW requires transfer duty (stamp duty) to be assessed on fair market value rather than a nominal purchase price. Relying on an informal price estimate or real estate agent appraisal can result in severe audit penalties, delays in registration, and reassessments.
At MDA Property Valuers, our Certified Practising Valuers deliver fully independent, legally sound Stamp Duty valuation reports backed by over 25 years of regional experience. We ensure your transaction is assessed accurately, meets Revenue NSW statutory standards, and establishes a clear assessment base.

John’s service level is high and his understanding of the issues was excellent - he also offered me the opportunity for him to report a range as an option for the valuation I required, which I accepted due to the nature of the site, (which might normally demand a premium) and the fact that an auction sale is involved.

Yes. A retrospective valuation assesses the market value of a property at a specific historical date (such as the date an asset was inherited or converted to a rental). We use archived sales data from that specific period to build a valuation.
Real estate agent appraisals are sales estimates designed for marketing purposes and lack statutory weight. The ATO requires an independent valuation conducted by a qualified, Certified Practicing Valuer (CPV) applying recognised valuation methodologies.
Under Australian tax law, the main residence CGT exemption generally applies to the home and surrounding land up to 2 hectares. If your block is larger, we provide an apportionment valuation separating the exempt house and curtilage from the taxable residue parcel.
