PROPERTY LAW ACT 2007 

Expert valuers can provide a very useful contribution to the dispute resolution process, in all its forms. The Property Law Act 2007 specifically provides for valuation evidence. Peter Bates' property law background and legal training provides a useful foundation for reliable valuation advice in this statutory context. We can work with your legal advisor to inform decision making and negotiation and can provide valuation evidence. 

We have advised in a range of Property Law Act disputes. Please refer to the news page to see many examples of courts adopting and endorsing Peter Bates' valuation evidence for Property Law Act purposes including the District Court, High Court of New Zealand and even the in the New Zealand Court of Appeal. We can discuss the valuation issues involved in this context. Many cases have turned on the valuation evidence. Disputes which may be especially assisted by valuation advice may include: wrongly placed structures, division in kind, modification of covenants, s333-335 provisions involving light, views, trees, fences/walls and new construction or building extensions. 

Bates Resolution Ltd does not provide regulated legal services and you should seek independent legal advice. Please feel welcome to call or have your lawyer contact us.
