Is a valuation different from a real estate agent's appraisal?
An independent valuation and a real estate agent's appraisal are documents that are created for different purposes. An agent uses his local market knowledge to arrive at a selling figure at which they believe the property should be placed on the market, and can be subject to many factors.
A valuation is an opinion of the value of a property provided by a property professional without bias or influence that is suitable for many uses, including admission in a court of law, and for use by government bodies. Property valuers are the recognised experts in determining a properties value. |
How much does a valuation cost?
The cost of a valuation varies according to the size, value and type of the property to be valued, as well purpose of the valuation. Valuation fees start from $440 inc GST.
The cost of a valuation is usually tax deductible if the property is held for investment purposes. |
What qualifications does a valuer have?
A valuer must complete relevant tertiary level qualifications, a further two years of initial professional practice, ongoing education, and be licensed or registered by the appropriate state body to practise as a qualified valuer. In Victoria, it is the local branch of the Australian Property Institute (AAPI). |
Is a valuation different from a council rates notice?
Yes. A rating valuation is prepared for the purpose of assessing rates and land tax of a property. It does not usually involve an internal inspection and is prepared at a particular date.
The relevant date of valuation on your rates notice can vary depending upon where you live. This valuation cycle can be 12 months and up to 4 years in some cities. |
