If yours is not below, ask a real valuer and a valuer picks it up.
A valuer's signed opinion of what one property was worth on one nominated day, with the comparable sales and the reasoning set out beneath it. The word doing the work in that sentence is one: it is an opinion about a specific property at a specific address, not about the market it sits in.
An appraisal is what an agent offers free of charge while competing for a listing, and no one puts their name to it. A valuation is prepared independently of any sale, effective at a stated date, built from sales that have settled, and signed by the valuer who formed the view.
In New South Wales, a valuer with the professional qualification and standing to have their opinion relied on. Their name and credentials appear on the report, which is exactly what allows a third party to act on it.
Yes. A valuer independent of your fund prepares and signs it, SISR 8.02B is the standard it is written to, and the comparable sales are attached rather than summarised, so an auditor can follow the figure back to its evidence.
The valuer who reached the opinion, named with their qualification. Not the model that gathered the evidence, and not anyone signing in their place. (from $550).
No. It is unsigned, so nobody has formed an opinion an auditor, an accountant or a revenue office can act on. It is for deciding and comparing. On timing: a signed desktop report usually goes out the same day, and an Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
It is effective as at its date rather than open-endedly. Where the organisation receiving it applies a currency period, that period is what counts, and your adviser will know which. Where a building around the property has changed in the meantime, the date on the report matters more than any general rule about how old a figure may be.
Yes. $169 for signed desktop reports, $79 for Automated Market Assessments. Inspection valuations start at $550, with the exact price confirmed at checkout before you pay, never after.
An advertised price is a marketing position, often a range set to attract interest. A valuation reports settled evidence. In Liverpool the gap often comes down to which comparables were used: a campaign can point at sales from a better building a street away and say nothing about the one the property is actually in.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day. An inspected report waits on access, and in Liverpool that can involve an occupant, a managing agent or a building manager, which is the step that sets the timeline. An Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
No. A rates notice generally carries a land value, the ground alone with nothing built on it, struck for rating at a date the council chose. Where the ground is shared between many owners, that figure has even less to say about any one of them. A valuation covers the whole property at the date you need it.
