FAQs
What are the costs and when is payment made?
Market Appraisal Fees
Our standard fee for a Sale or Lease Market Appraisal is $387 + GST.
Our standard fee for a Combined Sale and Lease Market Appraisal is $487 + GST.
For multi-tenanted properties or specialised assets, an additional $97 + GST complexity surcharge applies. These property types typically require more detailed market research, analysis, and reporting to ensure a comprehensive and well-supported appraisal outcome.
If you are unsure whether the surcharge applies to your property, please contact our team and we will be happy to assist.
Do you do Commercial & Residential Appraisals?
We sure do! Our appraisals can cover either leasing or sales requirements, both for commercial and residential.
Do I need a valuation or appraisal?
The answer depends on how the report will be used.
A market appraisal provides an independent assessment of a property’s current market value and/or rental position based on recent market evidence, local market conditions, and professional property expertise. Appraisals are commonly used for SMSF reporting, financial reporting, tax planning, estate matters, family law matters, lease negotiations, and general decision-making.
A property valuation is a formal assessment prepared by a Certified Practising Valuer and is typically required by lenders, courts, government authorities, or where legislation specifically requires a valuation.
For many accounting, compliance, and advisory purposes, a market appraisal can provide a practical, timely, and cost-effective solution. However, if a formal valuation is required by a third party, a valuation report should be obtained from a qualified valuer.
If you are unsure which option is appropriate, your accountant, or one of our friendly team members can help determine the most suitable report for your requirements.
Do I need a rental appraisal or sales appraisal?
The right appraisal depends on your objectives.
A Rental Appraisal provides an assessment of the property’s current market rent and is commonly used for lease negotiations, SMSF reporting, financial reporting, tax planning, and investment decision-making.
A Sales Appraisal provides an assessment of the property’s current market value and may assist with SMSF compliance, capital gains tax considerations, restructuring, estate planning, family law matters, acquisitions, disposals, and strategic property decisions.
If you require both market value and rental evidence, our combined Sale and Lease Appraisal offer a comprehensive overview in a single report.
How do I know the data is accurate?
Our appraisals are desktop based appraisals which consist of thoroughly researched information. This information is collated from a number of areas, including also provided by yourself as a client. Combining all of these methods ensures that we cover the property in detail, and our comparison data is well researched. We also provide an explanation where any data needs clarification.
How long is the Appraisal accurate for?
This is really subjective to market trends, and also whether the property has changed at all.
Generally speaking, providing there has been no major changes to the property, its income and expenses, then the appraisal is valid for up to a year of the appraised date.
If the property has been renovated, expanded, reduced or had major changes in income, we would recommend a new appraisal is completed using the updated details.
I have an unusual property, can you appraise this?
The way we complete our appraisals is in-depth, so unusual properties are something that we work with regularly.
Mixed use properties, specific usages or split requirements – you name it, we have likely appraised it!
We are always happy to discuss your property with you and let you know how we could help with an appraisal.
Can you provide an appraisal for prior years?
Yes. We can prepare retrospective market appraisal reports for prior dates, subject to the availability of sufficient market evidence.
These reports are developed using historical sales, leasing data, market conditions, and other relevant information available at the requested date. Retrospective appraisals are commonly used for SMSF reporting, capital gains tax calculations, deceased estates, family law matters, business restructuring, and other accounting or compliance requirements.
If you require an appraisal as at a specific historical date, please contact our team to discuss your requirements and confirm the availability of supporting market evidence.
What if I find something that affects my appraisal after it’s been completed?
If you discover new information that could impact your property’s valuation after your report has been issued, our team can review the details and provide guidance on next steps. Depending on the nature of the information, we may issue an updated appraisal to reflect the change. This ensures your report remains current, reliable, and fit for its intended purpose, giving you confidence in any decisions or compliance obligations that rely on the appraisal.
