A Single Expert Witness is an independent valuer jointly appointed by both parties in a family law dispute — saving both parties time and money. Ryan is an experienced Single Expert Witness whose reports are accepted by all NSW courts.

The valuation date depends on what's been agreed or ordered by the court — it may be the date of separation, date of hearing, or another agreed date. We can provide both current market valuations and retrospective valuations for any historical date.

Yes — this is one of our most common requests. We regularly prepare retrospective CGT valuations for dates going back 5, 10, or even 20 years. Using historical sales data, market trend analysis, and professional judgement, we determine the property's market value as at the specific date your accountant requires.

We'll need the property address, the valuation date (as advised by your accountant), and any relevant details about the property's condition or improvements at that date. If you have historical photos, old contracts, or renovation records, those help too. Don't worry if you don't have everything — we'll guide you through it.
