one of my client wants to sale a property which was acquired before 1/4/01 & for fair market value he has obtained a valuation report form a valuer. In that report valuer has given various values such as value of flat, realisable value, distress value & government value. So which value should I take for fair value of the property.

Quick Summary
When selling a property purchased before April 1st, 2001, and using a valuer's report, clarification is needed on which 'fair market value' to use. Options presented include the valuer's flat value, realisable value, distress value, and government value. The consensus leans towards using the government value (also known as ready reckoner or guideline value), as it's typically accepted by authorities and avoids potential conflicts with the Income Tax Office.
