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. How strong it is depends on how strong the evidence beneath it is, and in a suburb this consistent that evidence is unusually deep.
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 Victoria, 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. It is unsigned, so there is no independent opinion in it and an auditor or revenue office has nothing to act on. It is for deciding. On timing: a signed desktop report usually goes out the same day and an Automated Market Assessment the next business day.
It is effective as at its date rather than indefinitely. Where the recipient applies a currency period, that period governs, and your adviser will know which. Ordering close to when the figure is needed is generally the simpler course.
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. In Point Cook the two are usually closer than in most suburbs, because there is so much comparable evidence that neither has much room to wander.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day, and with this much comparable evidence nearby it is rarely the slow part. An inspected report waits on access. An Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
No. A rates notice generally shows a land value, the ground alone with nothing built on it, assessed for rating at a date the council set. A valuation covers the whole property at the date you need. They answer different questions and rarely coincide.
