Public Sector Valuation

Independent, compliant and audit-ready government asset valuations

CBRE's Public Sector team delivers independent, audit-ready valuations across every asset class governments manage — land, buildings, leasehold improvements, property, plant and equipment, critical infrastructure, and heritage and cultural assets. Our advice supports financial reporting, asset management and investment decisions for agencies operating under some of the country's most stringent governance and compliance requirements.

Public sector valuations face a different bar than private ones: they must withstand audit, and remain defensible years after delivery. Our methodology is built around that reality - transparent assumptions, consistent national standards, and reporting designed to hold up to scrutiny at every level, from portfolio managers to parliamentary committees.

Backed by 40+ years of dedicated public sector experience and a national team of specialist valuers, we provide scalable, audit-ready solutions for even the largest and most complex government asset portfolios.
