Dom Lamanna

I commenced my career in valuations in the late 1990’s and have gathered a wide range of experience in various fields. Initially my work centred around residential valuations but I quickly moved to more specialized fields including Compulsory Acquisitions, Rental Assessments and Determinations, Pre-Purchase and Pre-Sale Advice, Stamp Duty Valuations, acting as a Buyers Advocate and Vendors Advocate and with a strong focus on commercial, medical, retail and industrial properties. I always try to develop a strong rapport with all my clients, and am always highly motivated and attentive to ensure the best possible outcome at all times.

With regard to the Compulsory Acquisition and Loss on Sale areas, my experience includes acting for land owners against Authorities such as Regional Rail Link, VicRoads, Linking Melbourne Authority, Melbourne Metro Rail Authority, Level Crossing Removal Authority and water bodies including Melbourne Water, Coliban Water, Yarra Valley Water and Gippsland Water. I have represented over 300 clients in the specialised area of Land Acquisitions, Easement Acquisitions and Loss on Sale Claims. I have represented numerous clients on the East West tunnel project, properties including dwellings, apartments, flats, development sites and commercial properties.

I have been involved in assisting clients affected by the Level Crossing Removal Authority and Melbourne Metro Rail Authority. With regards the Melbourne Metro Rail Authority, the focus of my work has been predominantly commercial properties located in the Melbourne Central Business District, ranging in diversity from offices, shops, apartments and even a car parking business. Properties affected by the Level Crossing Removal Authority have mainly focused on commercial, industrial and residential properties. I have also acted for many land owners affected by road widening projects across the State of Victoria, from Traralgon to Carrum, Philip Island to Geelong and assisted most of the land owners in Plenty affected by the Yan Yean Road widening project.

Most recently I have assisted business owners and residential land owners affected by the North East Link project. I only represent land owners and do not work for Authorities. I have always sought to obtain a fair and equitable outcome for all my clients.

I am a Certified Specialist Retail Valuer registered with the office of the NSW Small Business Commissioner. I have undertaken rental assessments and determinations for a number of retail properties all over Victoria and also in the border towns of Echuca-Moama and Albury-Wodonga. My expertise extends in to the medical field having been engaged by specialist medical lending groups to provide valuations for a wide range of medical and allied practitioners such as doctors, dentists, veterinarians and specialists all over Victoria and NSW. I have been involved in assisting many medical practitioners in purchasing their properties undertaking valuations prior to purchase or construction. Included in this specialised field are Child Care and Aged Care premises and I have experience providing rental determinations as well as valuations for specialised Lenders.

I have also undertaken specialised valuation work for numerous legal firms providing valuations for court purposes including matrimonial and disputed matters, acting as an Expert Witness.

As Managing Director of GVS Property I am actively involved all facets of the business and am supported by experienced valuers, property professionals and support staff.
