When You Need a Valuation of Assets in Pakistan
Overseas courts, tax authorities and solicitors regularly require an independent opinion of value for property that one party owns in Pakistan. Typical matters we are instructed on:
Family Court & Divorce
Financial remedy and property settlement proceedings where a spouse owns land, a house or a business in Pakistan. Reports suitable for asset disclosure (e.g. UK Form E) and for use as an independent or single joint expert valuation.
Capital Gains Tax
Property in Pakistan sold or transferred by a UK, Australian, Canadian or US tax resident. We establish market value at acquisition, at the date of becoming tax resident, and at sale, so the gain can be reported to HMRC, the ATO, CRA or IRS with supporting evidence.
Inheritance & Probate
Valuation of inherited property in Pakistan as at the date of death for estate administration, inheritance tax and distribution among heirs living abroad.
Retrospective Valuations
Value as at a historical date: marriage, separation, purchase, inheritance or change of residency. Supported by recorded transactions, official valuation tables and historical market evidence.
Business & Plant Assets
Factories, mills, shops, plant & machinery and stock held in Pakistan that form part of a matrimonial or estate asset pool.
Immigration & Financial Disclosure
Proof of assets in Pakistan for spouse and partner visas, sponsorship, settlement and other financial disclosure to overseas authorities. See also our visa valuation certificates.

QR-Verifiable Reports
Every report carries a QR code and verification code on its front page. A court clerk, solicitor or tax officer can scan it, or enter the details at archedecon.com/verify, to confirm the report was issued by us and matches our records. From 1 October 2026 onwards every report we issue carries a QR code and verification code. A report dated on or after 1 October 2026 that does not carry a QR code should not be accepted; please contact us to confirm before relying on it.
How It Works From Abroad
1. Send the Instruction
Email or WhatsApp us the property address, the purpose (court, tax, probate), the valuation date(s) required and who the report should be addressed to. We confirm a fixed fee and delivery date.
2. Documents & Access
Share copies of the title documents (registry, allotment or transfer letter, fard / mutation) and the contact of a local relative, tenant or representative for access. We can also obtain record extracts where needed.
3. Inspection & Research
Our valuer inspects and measures the property, takes dated photographs, checks the title position and gathers comparable market evidence for the required date(s).
4. Signed Report
You receive the signed PDF report with currency conversion and QR verification. Hard copies on firm letterhead are couriered to the UK, Australia or elsewhere on request.
Typical turnaround: 5–10 working days from receipt of documents, depending on location and the number of valuation dates. Fees are quoted in PKR and can be paid by international bank transfer.
