Gordon has been with Prendos for more than 30 years. Having stepped down from his role as Director in late 2023, Gordon now provides senior mentorship to the valuation team, as well as undertaking valuations and consultancy advice.
With more than 40-years’ experience in the industry, Gordon has a wealth of knowledge in valuation methodologies and has been involved in a diverse range of valuation work across Auckland, reporting on many different asset types.
Although primarily an urban-based valuer, he has a rural background and once worked as a Field Officer and Valuer for the Lands and Survey Department. This gave him hands-on knowledge and experience of rural valuations, including economic farms and other specialty rural concerns.
Gordon has wide experience in the commercial property sector across the full spectrum of property types having valued going concerns, suburban and CBD retail/office property, specialist assets and industrial. He provides advice on rental reviews, lease negotiation and has been deeply involved in leasehold valuations for both lessors and lessees. He has also worked as an expert witness in numerous valuation related disputes in arbitration or court.
In the residential sector he is a specialist in valuing high-end as well as standard residential and investment properties, blocks of flats, development sites, multi-unit projects, terraced housing and apartments. Gordon has extensive experience in the valuation of small and large subdivisions and is very conversant with compensation assessments and leaky home ownership issues.
Gordon has an extensive client base, and is on the panel/ preferred valuer for BNZ, ANZ, ASB, Westpac, Liberty, Bluestone, Kiwibank, Cairns Lockie and the Insolvency Department plus Valocity and CoreLogic. Gordon loves fishing, diving, tramping, cycling, travel and spending time in the Coromandel and is a keen tennis player of some repute.
