Plant & Machinery Valuers Ltd is a totally independent company situated in Christchurch, New Zealand. As the name suggests, the company specialises in the valuation of plant, machinery and chattels. Plant & Machinery Valuers Ltd is also highly experienced in purchase cost allocations for property owners.

Although based in Christchurch, we believe that we are able to offer a competitive service throughout New Zealand.

Some of the services provide direct financial benefits for clients, such as purchase cost allocation, whereby a property owner's tax depreciation can be maximised in accordance with the rules of the Inland Revenue Department. This work is undertaken in such a manner that it should withstand the scrutiny of Inland Revenue.

When a property is sold we can undertake a sales price allocation to minimize tax on depreciation recovered.

The insurance valuations give clients peace of mind by ensuring that adequate insurance cover can be purchased while not paying more in Fire Service levies than required, by calculating the Insurance Indemnity Values in accordance with guidelines issued by the New Zealand Fire Service. This type of valuation may seem to provide less direct financial benefits to owners of property and plant and machinery, but they really are of equal importance. Many clients are found to be under insured quite significantly after their loss has occurred. Not only does property and plant get lost in fires and earthquakes, but it could happen to you!

Valuations for finance/financial purposes range from obtaining finance from a financial institution to valuations for financial reporting in accordance with accounting standards FRS-3 and NZ-IAS 16.

We value plant, machinery and chattels as a going concern, or as individual assets for clients who intend to purchase or sell a business or wish to transfer their assets to a company or trust.

We offer support for due diligence and litigation.

And last but not least, clients will find the right experience to create or reconcile fixed asset registers right here.

All assignments are undertaken in accordance with the Valuation Standards of The Property Institute of  New Zealand. We closely follow changes in valuation standards and will work in accordance with the standards of the  Property Institute of New Zealandas they become available.

We offer a high quality professional service with a focus on clients' needs.

In most cases we gladly submit quotations free of charge and without any obligation.
