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 day is chosen to suit the question being answered, which is why a report prepared for one purpose does not automatically settle another.
An appraisal is a free selling estimate offered while an agent competes for a listing, and nobody signs it. A valuation is independent of any sale, effective as at a stated date, evidenced by settled sales, and 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. It carries no signature, so there is no independent opinion in it for an auditor, an accountant or a revenue office to act on. It is for deciding. 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. Plenty of the work we do here is written to a date years back, where currency is not the question at all.
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 part company easily in Manly, where a campaign can lean on the location and say very little about the property behind it.
Yes, at any point. We credit the $79 against the signed report whenever you upgrade.
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. A valuation covers the whole property at the date you need it. Two different questions, and the answers rarely line up.
