If yours is not below, ask a real valuer and a valuer picks it up.
A valuer's signed opinion of what a property was worth on one nominated day, with the comparable sales and the reasoning set out beneath it. The nominated day is the whole point of it: a report is not a general statement about a property, it is an answer about a property on a date.
An agent's appraisal is a free selling estimate produced during a pitch, and it is unsigned. A valuation is independent of any sale, carries a stated effective date, rests on sales that have actually settled, and is signed by the valuer who reached it.
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. Nobody signs it, so there is no opinion in it for an auditor, an accountant or a revenue office to rely on. Use it to decide and the signed report to report. 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. In a suburb that moves as fast as Granville, a figure kept in a drawer for a couple of years is describing a market that has since gone somewhere else.
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. The two drift apart quickly in a market that moves, because the campaign is describing where things might be heading and the valuation is describing where they actually got to.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day. An inspected report waits on access, though in Granville a good share of properties are empty between occupants and that step goes quickly. An Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
No. A rates notice generally carries a land value, the ground on its own with nothing built on it, struck for rating at a date the council chose rather than a date you chose. A valuation covers the whole property at the date you actually need.
