AI summary

A registered valuer provides the most accurate way to determine your property's worth, short of selling. Valuers must be certified by the New Zealand Institute of Valuers.

Find a valuer by checking the official NZ Gazette list, getting recommendations from professionals, or reading online reviews. A standard residential valuation costs around $800+ GST but varies by property.

Valuations are essential for sellers, buyers, securing finance from lenders, and impartial assessments like dividing relationship property.
