What does West Coast Valuers do?
West Coast Valuers is an independent Perth-based valuation firm providing property valuation, business valuation, and plant and machinery valuation services across the metro area. We complete valuations for residential, commercial, industrial, retail and rural property, with clear reports and direct access to a valuer when you need it.
Are your valuers certified and qualified?
Yes. West Coast Valuers employs valuers who are members of the Australian Property Institute and meet professional and legislative requirements, supported by ongoing training and quality control. If you need a certified property valuer for bank, legal, or taxation purposes, get in touch with us.
How quickly can you complete a house valuation in Perth?
For many standard residential matters, West Coast Valuers offers a 48-hour turnaround time on most residential valuations, subject to access and complexity. If you need a house valuation for purchase, sale, refinancing, or family matters, book early to secure a suitable inspection time.
What is included in a property valuation report?
A property valuation report typically sets out the property details, inspection observations, market evidence, valuation method and the assessed market value for the stated purpose. West Coast Valuers can provide short-form and long-form reporting depending on your needs, with long-form commonly used for litigation or complex assets.
What’s the difference between a bank valuation and an independent valuation?
A bank valuation is usually ordered for mortgage security and may be conservative due to lending risk. An independent property valuation can be used for broader purposes such as buying or selling decisions, disputes, family matters, estates, or understanding equity.
Do you provide commercial property valuation in Perth?
Yes. West Coast Valuers provides commercial property valuation services in Perth and WA for purposes including pre-purchase, pre-sale, stamp duty, capital gains tax, rent review, compulsory acquisition and estate matters.
Can you value industrial property and specialised facilities?
Yes. Our industrial property valuers assess warehouses, industrial office parks, manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, self-storage and other specialised industrial assets across Perth and WA. We also provide rental advisory including rent reviews and rent determination where required.
Do you offer retail property valuations?
Yes. West Coast Valuers undertakes retail property valuations in Perth and WA, including strip retail, neighbourhood centres and other retail formats, depending on the asset and purpose. If you need a retail valuation for acquisition, leasing, reporting or taxation, contact us.
Do you provide rural valuation services in WA?
Yes. Rural property valuation requires specialised knowledge because rural markets behave differently to residential and commercial markets. West Coast Valuers provides rural valuations for common purposes such as pre-purchase, property settlement, estates, stamp duty, CGT, rent review and compulsory acquisition.
Can you do business valuations in Perth?
Yes. West Coast Valuers provides business valuation services in Perth and WA, and notes that business valuations should be completed by specialised valuers. If you need business valuations for sale, restructuring, disputes, reporting or taxation, get in touch.
Who typically needs a business valuation?
Common reasons include business sale or purchase negotiations, shareholder or partnership changes, estate and succession planning, family law, disputes, or tax and reporting requirements. If you need a business valuation expert, our Perth business valuers can explain scope, evidence required and likely timeframes.
Do you value plant, equipment and machinery?
Yes. West Coast Valuers provides plant and machinery valuations, including machinery valuations, asset valuations, and full plant and equipment valuation reporting. These are commonly required for accounting, insurance, financing, sale, or asset planning.

How do I know which valuation service I need?
