Compensation Property Valuation
Property compensation valuations for easements, partial acquisitions, and adverse impacts in NSW. Our certified valuers provide independent assessments accepted by courts, the ATO, and all major lenders.
"Every compensation valuation we prepare is personally inspected by a Certified Practising Valuer. We provide independent, unbiased assessments that you can rely on for your legal, financial, or tax matter."
— Malcolm Craig CPV, Director
Beyond full compulsory acquisition, property owners in NSW may be entitled to compensation for a range of adverse government actions that fall short of full acquisition — including the imposition of easements, partial resumptions, injurious affectation (damage to the land not taken), and interference with business activities.
Easements and partial acquisition: Where a government authority acquires an easement or stratum over part of your property — for example, a power line easement, a pipeline corridor, or a tunnel beneath your land — you are entitled to compensation for the impact on your property's value and for any disturbance to your use and enjoyment.
Injurious affectation: If a government project causes your property to lose value — for example, through noise, vibration, loss of access, or visual amenity impacts from a nearby road or rail project — you may be entitled to compensation under the Just Terms Act.
Blight claims: Properties affected by threatened acquisition (where the government has identified land for a future project but not yet acquired it) often experience reduced market value due to "blight." This impact may be compensable.
Before and after valuations: Compensation claims require a "before and after" assessment — the value of the property in its unaffected state, compared with its value after the impact. Our certified valuers prepare both assessments, clearly articulating the diminution in value caused by the relevant government action.
Our valuers work with property owners, solicitors, and compensation specialists throughout the claims and negotiation process, providing the independent evidence needed to support a fair outcome.

What Our Clients Say
"A rail project significantly impacted our property's amenity. The before and after valuation clearly documented the diminution in value and supported our compensation claim through to a fair settlement."
"A utility company imposed an easement over part of our land. The independent valuation established what we were entitled to, and we received the full compensation amount without needing to litigate."
