Our 100 year history

Megaw & Hogg was established in 1902 in Broken Hill as an auctioneering, land and insurance agency, and valuations business. It moved to Adelaide in 1912, where its Head Office remains today.

Valuations have been a key part of Megaw & Hogg’s core business since inception, servicing both private and professional clients with valuations for all purposes, including deceased estates, divorce settlements, bankruptcies and liquidations, compulsory acquisitions, company and business sales, insurance claims and finance security.

In 1995 Megaw & Hogg developed its volume residential property valuation system, designed to cater for high volumes and fast turnarounds using state-of-the-art computer and digital communications technology, to better service the mortgage lending industry.

Megaw & Hogg then began its national expansion in 1998/99, based on client demand. Offices were opened in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast in 1999, and in Perth and Canberra in 2004.

This led to the separation of the property valuation business from Megaw & Hogg’s other operations, including auctions and antiques, so that Megaw & Hogg National Valuers today is a separate legal entity under different ownership and management, with no remaining links to any other Megaw & Hogg entities.

In March 2005, a major milestone in the continuing national expansion occurred with the merger with Robert N Hendrey & Associates, a large and highly respected independent valuation firm in Victoria, with offices in Melbourne and Point Lonsdale.

The launch of ValEx in 2005/06 sees Megaw & Hogg National Valuers enter the next exciting stage of its growth and development.
