Over the years we have assisted all major banks, originators, building society’s and mortgage insurers.
The level of expertise in our group is varied and extensive. We have also undertaken residential, commercial, construction and development work for large international banks and their clients. This is an area that involves valuation of all types of properties in all areas of the city and metropolitan including projections, cost evaluation and project value projections, advice on finished products, market expectations and demand to guide the project to successful completion and disposal.
Our database and expertise in this area is large and comprehensive. We are experts and possibly one of the most active valuers involved within the upper residential market of the North Shore, Northern Beaches and Eastern Suburbs as well as Southern Suburbs Waterfronts.
The information provided to us as a result of relationships with leading agents in those areas, enables us to have an edge in the Sydney Metro area.

Establishing good relationships with real estate agents in those areas is a major advantage.
Our commercial division provides tailored professional advice in a concise reporting format to enable the client to make informative assessments and decisions. We specialise in the sub $15 million commercial market and have no history of claims or pending actions.
We have a full understanding of the commercial owner occupier and investor markets, the demand drivers, supply implications, zoning and redevelopment considerations.
Over the years Valuecorp has implemented processes to train all staff to the highest of standards, be it basic residential or complex industrial/commercial valuations. Our trained valuers are sought after throughout the industry and many hold senior positions with a variety of property related companies.
