For NRIs in Australia: Valuing Your Indian Property
You live in Australia and own property in India. A large share of our Australian work arrives through family lawyers, because Australian courts bring worldwide assets into a property settlement and somebody has to value the Indian one.

How we work with owners abroad
The mechanics are the same wherever you live. One person in India gives our engineer access. We inspect and photograph, with the date and location recorded on every image, and the signed report reaches you by email in 48 to 72 hours. You do not travel. The full process, the power of attorney position and the questions every overseas owner asks are set out here.
Why Australian family law reaches your Indian property
In an Australian family law matter the property pool includes assets held anywhere in the world, not only assets in Australia. Both parties must give full and frank disclosure and file a financial statement listing what they own.
Where the two sides cannot agree what an overseas asset is worth, an independent expert valuation is needed. That is where we come in, and we have been doing it for Australian proceedings for years.
An Australian court often cannot make a binding order over land in India, but it can decide what the asset is worth and adjust the rest of the settlement accordingly. So the valuation has to be solid enough to survive being argued about, and clear enough for a reader who has never seen an Indian title document.
The two country problem
If your matter is a family law proceeding, the relevant date is often the date of separation or the date of filing rather than today.
Why one property can need two valuations at two different dates, explained in full.
Questions from NRIs in Australia
- Will an Australian court accept a valuation done in India?
Courts generally accept expert evidence about foreign property where the expert is properly qualified and the report explains its basis. We write these to be read by someone unfamiliar with India: credentials explained, both currencies stated, comparables named, and the inspection documented with dated photographs.
- My ex partner and I disagree about what the Indian flat is worth.
That is the most common reason we are engaged from Australia. A single jointly instructed valuation usually resolves it, costs half as much as two competing reports and carries far more weight. We accept joint instructions on written terms from both sides or both lawyers.
- Can you value the property as it was at separation?
Yes. Past date valuations are routine for us. We reconstruct from the official rate archive of that year and registered sales of that period, and the report states openly how the reconstruction was done so it can be tested.
