Benchmark Today
We wanted to expand on our existing base of property valuation advice so that we could offer our regional and national clients a truly comprehensive, professional consultancy service.
To do this we hand-picked a top-level team of specialist practitioners to advise on property, plant & machinery and business valuation matters with particular focus on provision of expert evidence in the jurisdictions of the Supreme Court, Land and Environment Court, Federal Court and the Family Court of Australia.
Our team of professionals is now amongst the most experienced and highly qualified in regional New South Wales, covering every aspect of real estate, business and plant and machinery valuation and consultancy advice.
Leading The Way
Since Mark Hopcraft started business as a Valuer in Orange in 1976, Benchmark has been steadily growing in expertise, capability and depth of knowledge.
Today Benchmark’s offerings go well beyond its original mortgage property valuation service. The group is now regarded as one of Australia’s leading independent regional valuation and consultancy practices, reflecting the changing face of rural and regional Australia.
As Mark Hopcraft says, “being based west of the Divide means Benchmark has grass-roots experience and a wealth of local knowledge. That’s good, it’s vital, but it wasn’t enough for us. We also wanted a team of experienced highly-qualified, top-level professionals so our clients could expect world class standards in all aspects of valuation and consultancy services.
Well, now we have that team. Combined with our unbeatable local knowledge, Benchmark gives its clients the best of all worlds.”
Staying Ahead
In our book, it’s not enough to be amongst the top few independent valuation and consultancy providers in Australia. To be even more competitive, we decided to combine our strength of local knowledge west of the Divide with a team of highly-qualified and experienced professionals.
This unique combination delivers our clients a world-class service, but staying in front means we can’t rest on our laurels. We constantly revise, improve and update our internal disciplines, professional development programmes, codes of ethics, compliance and conduct and property databases.
Of course it takes vigilance, experience and knowledge to manage the demands of constant change.
