Can anyone recommend a good valuer in Canberra at a reasonable cost? Thanks shaggygirl

Well though I didn't get a gift when I moved in, I did get a freshly rennovated unit to live in (which felt like a gift). Also my lovely landlord (a forum member - you know who you are) sent me flowers when some tradespeople caused a big problem and another lot to thank me for my assistance...
