The difference
Why a free estimate will not do the job
Property portals generate a number from an algorithm and attach a disclaimer saying it is not a valuation. When there is tax, an audit or a revenue office involved, that number is worth nothing. Here is what actually separates the two.
| Free online estimate | Certified valuation | |
|---|---|---|

| Signed report you can lodge | ||
| Accepted by the ATO and auditors | ||
| Can value at a date in the past | ||
| Considers the actual condition of your property | ||

Tell us about the property
Complete the online form. It takes a few minutes and covers the address, the lot and plan, the condition and the date you need the valuation for.
- 02
We confirm scope and fee
A registered valuer reviews your request, confirms the fee and sends you an invoice. Nothing proceeds until you are happy with the scope.
- 03
The valuation is carried out
We research the property, the comparable sales and the market as at your nominated date, and inspect where the purpose of the valuation requires it.
- 04
Your report is delivered
You receive a signed report from a registered valuer, ready to give to the ATO, your accountant, your auditor or your solicitor.
Step 1 of 4
Order your valuation
A few minutes to complete. We confirm the scope and the fee before any work starts, so there is nothing to pay right now.
Request received
Thank you. A registered valuer will review your request and email you a confirmation of scope and fee. If anything needs clarifying we will email you first.
Nothing has been charged. The valuation begins once you approve the fee.
Common questions
Before you order
What makes this different to a free online property estimate?
A portal estimate is generated by an algorithm and comes with a disclaimer saying it is not a valuation. It will not be accepted by the ATO, an SMSF auditor, a revenue office or your accountant. Our reports are prepared and signed by a registered valuer and are written for exactly those purposes.
Is this a real valuation or an appraisal?
It is a valuation. An appraisal is an opinion given by a real estate agent, usually with the aim of winning a listing. A valuation is a formal assessment by a registered valuer who is independent of the sale.
What kinds of property can you value?
Through this service we value single residential dwellings. If your property is commercial, industrial, rural or a multi dwelling site, contact us and we will quote it separately.
Can you value a property as at a date in the past?
Yes. Retrospective valuations are one of the most common reasons people come to us, particularly for capital gains tax and deceased estates. You nominate the date on the form and we value the property as at that date.
Do you need to inspect the property?
It depends on the purpose. Some valuations can be completed from the information you supply plus our own research and data. Others require an inspection. The valuer will tell you which applies before any work starts.
