Pre-Sale Valuations & Asset Disposal
Independent Property Valuations for Asset Disposal
Leeson Valuers provides independent valuations to assist property owners, businesses, trustees, financial institutions, receivers, liquidators and professional advisers with the disposal of property and other assets.
Our valuations establish the current market value of property on an “as is, where is” basis, having regard to prevailing market conditions and the circumstances surrounding the proposed sale.
Pre-Sale Valuation Services
A pre-sale valuation can assist with:
- Establishing an independent market value prior to sale;
- Setting realistic sale expectations and reserve prices;
- Supporting sale and marketing strategies;
- Assessing assets for disposal, restructuring or realisation;
- Providing valuation evidence for receivers, liquidators and trustees;
- Mortgagee-in-possession and distressed asset sales;
- Supporting negotiations with purchasers and other interested parties; and
- Establishing an appropriate basis of value for legal, financial or taxation purposes.
Market Value & Sale Circumstances
The appropriate assessment of value may depend on the method of sale, anticipated marketing period and circumstances of the seller.
A conventional Market Value assessment generally assumes an arm's-length transaction following appropriate marketing, with the parties acting knowledgeably and without compulsion.
However, where a property is being sold under circumstances involving urgency, financial distress or a limited selling timeframe, a different basis of value may be appropriate.
For example, a mortgagee-in-possession, receiver or liquidator sale may involve circumstances where the seller is compelled to sell or has a restricted timeframe in which to realise the asset. In these circumstances, the valuation may need to consider the likely sale conditions, appropriate marketing period and the effect these circumstances may have on the achievable price.
Leeson Valuers can assess the appropriate basis of value and assumptions having regard to the specific circumstances of the proposed disposal.
Independent & Objective Advice
An independent pre-sale valuation provides an objective assessment of the property's value and can assist stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding the disposal or realisation of an asset.
Our valuation advice is supported by current market evidence, comparable transactions and consideration of the property's physical, legal and market characteristics.
Leeson Valuers provides independent pre-sale and asset disposal valuations for standard, negotiated and distressed property sales, including mortgagee, receiver and liquidator matters.
