Indian property valuation for NRIs and residence applicants in New Zealand
New Zealand skilled migrant, parent category, partner and student applications include Indian property valuations as evidence of assets and ties, and NRIs settled in New Zealand sell Indian property and need capital gains, TDS and repatriation support. ValuerDekho matches you with registered valuers who inspect, issue dual INR/NZD reports and courier originals to New Zealand, and with CAs for net-worth certificates and Forms 145/146. Visa reports cost ₹6,000–₹10,000, plus 18% GST, and arrive in 24–72 hours.
