30. We are providing You with our professional opinion as Valuers. Our opinion is usually provided by way of a Valuation report. That report will set out a number of important qualifications, assumptions and conditions precedent which We may need to make, in addition to these Terms and Conditions, relative to the circumstances of the particular property or properties (real or personal property) under consideration. A qualified opinion provided in a desktop report is an indicative value and not an IVS compliant valuation as the limitations on investigations, enquiries, procedures and processes informing the Valuer’s reasoning and analysis do not permit the Valuer to sufficiently evaluate all the inputs, assumptions and/or qualifications requisite in the valuation process.
31. You agree to read these qualifications, assumptions and conditions precedent carefully, and understand that if the assumptions that We have made or relied on are circumstances that do not prevail or eventuate, or are found later to be inaccurate, Our opinion as to value may be materially different. You agree to solely bear the risk in relation to any Loss You might suffer, should this occur.
32. The qualifications, assumptions, and conditions precedent that We make will usually depend on the circumstances of the property being valued and are made in relation to matters that We do not have expertise to verify or We cannot verify information provided to Us within the time required to complete the Valuation. These will be set out in detail in the Valuation, Valuation Service report or Services report that We provide to You.
33. These qualifications, assumptions and conditions precedent typically will relate to:
(a) Land contamination and environmental risk;
(b) Town Planning Information;
(c) Town Planning and Development Controls and Consents;
(d) Title including Notifications on Title such as Easements, Caveats, Restrictions and other dealings;
(e) Building Areas;
(f) Building Structural Integrity;
(g) Building Compliance with the Building Code of Australia;
(h) Pest Infestation;
(i) Leases, Licences and Tenancies;

(m) The nature of forecasting, future value assessment and discounted cash flow analysis;
(n) The basis of Value where access to the property is restricted; and
(o) Whether or not the property has been completed where a development.
35. You agree that should We be engaged by You to provide Our Valuation, Valuation Services or Services as an expert witness in any legal proceedings, We must act as an independent and impartial expert. Our obligation is to provide relevant and impartial evidence and You acknowledge that our paramount duty is to the court and not to You despite Your engagement of our Services.
37. Our Executive Summary in Our Valuation or Valuation Services Report must be read in context of and in conjunction with the full Valuation report of which the Executive Summary forms part. All comments, terms and conditions contained in the full Valuation report and Quotation relate directly to this Executive Summary.
