Divorce & separation appraisal

An impartial value for the matrimonial home.

A neutral, third-party opinion of value to support equalization discussions between separating spouses and their advisors.

When a relationship ends, the family home often needs a clear, impartial value. We provide an independent opinion — current, or retrospective to a date such as the date of marriage or separation — that both parties and their counsel can work from.

When it’s used

Where a separation appraisal fits.

Equalization of net family property Support the calculation of each spouse’s share with an independent figure.

Retrospective dates Establish value as at the date of marriage or separation where that’s required.
