What is a Mediation Valuation?
When couples separate and choose to resolve their matters through mediation, a key step in reaching agreement is determining the value of shared property assets.
However, there are often disputes between parties as to what the true value of their assets are. This is where Guardian's independent and impartial mediation valuations provide clarity and direction.
Our team of mediation experts provide you with accurate and reliable valuation reports that are heavily relied upon during the Alternative Dispute Resolution process (i.e. Family Relationship Centres, Legal Aid, Court-ordered Mediation).
Benefits of Mediation over Court Proceedings in Property Settlement
Mediation is often preferred over court settlement for the following reasons:
-
Lower cost – Avoids high legal and court fees.
-
Faster resolution – Often resolved in weeks, not months or years.
-
Collaborative approach – Focuses on agreement, not conflict.
-
More control – You decide the outcome, not a judge.
-
Private & confidential – Keeps personal and financial matters out of public record.
-
Flexible solutions – Allows creative outcomes tailored to both parties' needs.

Mario had purchased an investment property from his father, Eli.
The Revenue Office required Mario to engage a property valuer because the transaction occurred between related parties.
Mario's conveyancer (being a committed referral partner of ours) required an urgent Stamp Duty valuation as the sale contract was nearing its settlement date.
With no hassle, Guardian was able to turnaround the Stamp Duty valuation on the same day in a seamless fashion.
As a result, Mario was satisfied with our Stamp Duty assessment and his conveyancer was able to commit to Mario's needs in a timely fashion.
