Sworn Valuation

A formal property valuation by a Certified Practising Valuer — used for legal, tax or partnership purposes.

A sworn (or full) valuation is prepared by a Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) registered with the Australian Property Institute, and includes a market value figure with comparable sales evidence and detailed inspection. Sworn valuations are typically used for divorce settlements, deceased estates, capital gains assessments, partnership buyouts and stamp duty appeals — not for mortgage purposes (lenders use their own panel valuers).
