TelferYoung Limited
Not Just Valuers
10 May 2006
TelferYoung does not just value property. We provide comprehensive advice and data on all matters relating to property.
Advice you can rely on. We have a wide geographic spread across rural and urban New Zealand. The most important advice we can offer is to "Develop a relationship with a TelferYoung property advisor prior to committing to any property decision".
Whether you are a committed TelferYoung follower or just an interested reader, we would challenge you to stop and reflect on the last property advice you received. We trust it was TelferYoung advice but it could have been a suggestion from your accountant or a tip from your lawyer. You may have relied upon data supplied by a real estate agent or even taken some advice from well-meaning neighbours or friends.

If you are an 'interested reader', don't fall into the trap of obtaining a valuation only because the bank required it for finance. The committed TelferYoung followers know the financial benefits of being pre-armed with accurate property data and advice.
When was the last time you sat down with your property professional and discussed what, where and when your next property investment should be? That's what we know best and is vital information you should be using to your advantage.
Although valuation advice is our core business and your introduction to us may have been for valuation or rental appraisal, we can add so much more to your property portfolio. Trend analysis and data analysis arms you with information to make the best and most well informed decisions on your property activities. So come and ask us:
- When should we invest?
- Rent or buy?
- Where are we in the property cycle?
As valuers, we survey office vacancies and undertake foot traffic counts. Use our expertise to answer the following.
- Which is the busiest foot traffic area of the city?
- Should I redevelop or move?
- Where should we develop our motels?
As property professionals, we are constantly analysing sales, monitoring rent levels and making judgements on demand against supply in all property types. Discussions with a TelferYoung valuer can make your next property decision much easier.
- Where is there a shortage of sections?
- Is this land suitable for horticulture?
- Can I graze my roof?

Some of our most professionally rewarding work is consulting on a number of properties prior to clients eventually purchasing or committing to purchase a property.
- A recent example is for clients who were new to the region and market and really appreciated local knowledge and opinion. They investigated 5 to 6 properties. We provided them with a variety of advice and they successfully bid for one property at auction.
- What they had grasped and conveyed was that good advice is always worth paying for. They believed that consultancy on a time charge basis was a cost effective commodity. They received specific consultancy advice on six properties and a valuation report on the property they eventually bought.
Our consultants at TelferYoung have a vast knowledge of property related matters that you, as a prudent investor, or interested party can access by telephone or e-mail. Our website www.telferyoung.com provides information about us and what we can offer you.
Most people have a professional relationship with their accountant or solicitor which is both business and personally orientated. The same should be the case with your property advisor. TelferYoung provides a unique opportunity for you to develop a personal relationship with a local or regional valuer who can also access, if you require, advice through our 8 offices nationally.
- Don't just think valuers, think TelferYoung Valuers Property Advisors.
