Summary of Experience:

I have extensive valuation experience and a sound knowledge of the industry, having practised for some 53 years in the valuation profession, operating my own valuation business, consulting to other respected valuation firms and working in Local Government having been employed with the Municipalities of Hawthorn, Knox and Frankston. In addition, I was involved with Rating Valuation Contracts at Greater Dandenong and Whitehorse Councils.

My breadth of experience includes providing consultancy valuation advice for mortgage providers, litigation, insurance, family law, estate planning and Capital Gains Tax assessments in both the residential and commercial/industrial sectors of the Melbourne property market. In addition to Local Government rating valuations, I have carried out specialised property valuations and acquisition/compensation assessments for both acquiring authorities and dispossessed owners.

In 1991 I moved to the Gold Coast and continued to practice in Property Valuation. At the time I also held a New South Wales Valuers Qualification Certificate to enable me to practice in the north eastern corner of New South Wales south of the Queensland border.

Having returned to Victoria in 1996 I again managed my own business. From 2002 to 2010, my employment was mostly in the Gippsland area with work being carried out within the Local Government areas of Latrobe Valley, Bass Coast, South and East Gippsland and Wellington Shires. The immediate past fourteen years have been involved back in metropolitan Melbourne with particular emphasis being within the rapidly expanding south eastern growth corridor and the Mornington Peninsula where I had set my own Valuation Company of Giles Valuation Services again as a Private Practitioner. The past five years have seen the commencement of GVS Property Victoria, now expanded to GVS Property Australia, now under a new and dynamic Director allowing me to take the role of Senior Valuer.

During my career, I have been an active member of the Australian Property Institute having served on various Institute Committees. I have lectured and tutored on valuation related subjects at tertiary level. I currently hold my Certificate of Compliance for CPD and I completed the Institutes latest Risk Management Module in 2023. I have been chairman of the Gippsland Valuer’s Discussion Group where I completed five years in office. I am also a member of the Mornington Peninsula Valuer’s Discussion Group, the South Eastern Valuers Discussion Group and have recently re-joined the Municipal Group of Valuers.
