Transfer Duty is the tax paid on the transfer of an asset, such as a commercial property, a residential property or a farm, or other real estate, between two parties. 

Where there is a relationship between the two parties (such as a  sale between parents to children or brother to sister or vice versa) , then often the sale is deemed to be not at arm’s length. 

Then we can help by providing a property valuation for transfer duty purposes.

The valuation will provide the correct figure on which the duty will be assessed.  

According to the Queensland Government "one of the best options to understand a home’s true value is to hire a property valuer. They will give you a written report that sets out how they reach their conclusion. A valuation considers:

·        trends and forecasts.

·        upcoming projects in the area.

"ONE of Australia’s biggest banks has backflipped on a previous prediction that housing prices were going to pick up.

In a research note published yesterday, ANZ Bank has warned the steady decline in the country’s housing prices wasn’t only going to keep dropping, the pace of the decline was also going to pick up.
