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. It is a formal document meant to be relied on by somebody other than you, which is what separates it from an estimate and what it costs more than one.
An appraisal is a free selling estimate, given while an agent is competing for a listing, and nobody signs it. A valuation is independent of any sale, effective as at a stated date, drawn from settled sales, and signed by the valuer who reached 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..
No, and that is the one place it is worth spending the extra. Nothing in it is signed, so an auditor or a revenue office has nothing to rely on. For everything short of that, it is the sensible choice. On timing: a signed desktop report usually goes the same day and an Automated Market Assessment 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. Ordering close to when the figure is needed avoids paying for a second one later.
Yes. $169 for signed desktop reports, $79 for Automated Market Assessments.
An advertised price is a marketing position, often a range set to attract interest. A valuation reports settled evidence. Both numbers are honest about different things, and only one of them is prepared by somebody with no interest in what it turns out to be.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day. An inspected report waits on access and on travel, and it is also the dearest option, so it is worth checking whether you need one. An Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
No, and the rates notice will not do instead. It generally shows a land value, the ground alone 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.
