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 describes the property, not the household in it, which is worth saying in Coogee because who is living at an address here frequently has nothing to do with who owns it.
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. One is written to win a listing, the other to be relied on by somebody who will never meet the writer.
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. It also never goes inside, which in Coogee is the difference that matters: a property let to a group for years can be a long way from where its owner last saw it, and only an inspection reports that.
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. Ordering close to when the figure is actually needed avoids the question, though on a Coogee property with several occupants it is worth allowing time for the visit itself.
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. In Coogee the gap between them widens when the property has been shared for years, because a campaign photographs it after a clean-up and a valuer records it as it stands.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day. An inspected report waits on access, and where a Coogee address holds several unrelated occupants that step sets the timeline more than anything else does. 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. Since most of what separates two Coogee properties is inside them, the rates figure cannot get anywhere near it.
