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 part people underestimate. Change the date and you change the report, which is why we ask for it before anything else.
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. An appraisal is always about today; a valuation is about whichever day you name.
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 also only speaks to now, and a great deal of the Maroubra work we do is dated to a day years back, which it cannot reach.
It is effective as at its date rather than open-endedly. Where the organisation receiving it applies a currency period, that period is what governs and your adviser will know which. On the backdated Maroubra reports, which are most of them, currency is not the question at all: the date was fixed by an event and it does not move.
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. They also answer different days: an advertisement is written for the coming Saturday, while a Maroubra valuation is frequently written for a day that has already passed.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day. An inspected report waits on access, which in Maroubra is normally a short wait because somebody is at the property. 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. A valuation covers the whole property at the date you need. The date is the first thing that separates them, before you get anywhere near what is being valued.
