Valuation Services Central Advisory Unit

What does Central Advisory Unit do?

This unit gives information to government sector bodies regarding how best to buy, sell and manage property.

In order to provide assistance to government bodies we can give advice on:

  • the need to review current policy on buying selling or managing property,
  • the setting up of property strategies,
  • the use of property performance indicators,
  • how to improve and make best use of  computerised property information systems,
  • how to identify and market surplus property,
  • the use of the private sector
  • the use and coordination of intelligent customer advice

This information is given to government bodies through the publication of policy documents and information notes as well as one to one discussions with clients directly.

Who is Central Advisory Unit?

The unit is staffed by property professionals who are based within Land and Property Services (Valuation Services). If you have a general query with regard any of the work we do please contact us at 028 90 543875.

If you need to speak to a member of Valuation Services staff about a specific property please contact CAU or a local District Office.

Why is there a Central Advisory Unit?

This unit was set up after a report was published in March 1994. The report was called “Management and Disposal of Government- Owned Land” and it recommended that such a unit be established to provide good advice to all public sector bodies.
