Property is often the most complex and emotionally charged aspect of separation. Whether you’re selling the family home, buying out a partner or starting fresh with a new property purchase, Collings Property Advisory provides independent, fixed-fee guidance to help you navigate the transaction with clarity and confidence — $4,500 + GST per transaction.
The Problem Separating Couples Face
Separation creates competing interests on both sides of the property transaction. Agents and advocates often work with one party rather than both, creating conflicts. Without independent advice, separating couples frequently make poor property decisions under emotional and financial pressure.
Common Mistakes Separating Couples Make
- Selling the family home too quickly out of emotional pressure, accepting a below-market offer
- Buyout valuations that don’t reflect true market value
- Not understanding the stamp duty and CGT implications of the property split
- Buying a new property impulsively after separation without proper due diligence
- Choosing an agent who one party knows, creating a real or perceived conflict

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Collings advise both parties in a separation?
We can provide an independent market value assessment and sale strategy that serves the interests of both parties fairly. For the purchase of a new separate property by one party, we provide standard buyer advisory.
How do I know the buyout valuation is fair?
A formal valuation from a registered valuer is the most defensible approach for legal proceedings. Collings Property Advisory can provide a market assessment and help you interpret valuation reports — and refer you to a registered valuer for formal legal valuation.
