- Full internal and external inspection of properties
- Comprehensive field notes
- Analysis of sales data
- File notes and supporting information relating to valuation calculations and conclusions
- Internal peer review of reports prior to issue
- All valuations completed in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Professional Practice Guidance Notes
