Property valuation FAQs in Mernda

Preparing a property valuation in Mernda, VIC 3754

For a property in Mernda, VIC 3754, begin with the exact lot, building stage and any completed landscaping. Supply title or subdivision plan, build documents and completion dates where available. These details describe the individual asset; the suburb name alone does not establish its value.

Acceptance & compliance

What should I check with my SMSF auditor?+

A signed report identifies the valuer, valuation date, scope and supporting evidence. Ask your fund auditor and any other recipient to confirm their requirements before ordering; acceptance depends on the circumstances.

Are your valuers actually registered?+

Every signed report carries the valuer’s name, qualification and registration details. Our network includes registered valuers across every state and territory.

Is an Automated Market Assessment enough for tax purposes?+

No, it isn’t signed, so it doesn’t meet independence or evidentiary requirements. It’s for personal decisions: negotiating, browsing, sanity-checking. For the ATO, an auditor or a revenue office, order a signed report.

Timing & process

How quickly will I receive my report?+

Delivery depends on the property, available records, report scope and inspection access. Check the timing shown for your selected service before ordering, and tell us about any deadline.

Do you need to inspect the property?+

Usually not, most reports are prepared desktop, from real comparable-sales evidence. For unique, high-value or complex properties, choose Certified Property Valuation with Inspection (from $550).

Can the valuation be dated in the past?+

Yes. CGT and cost base valuations are routinely retrospective, we assess market value as at the date of the event, even decades back, using archived sales evidence.

Will anyone call me?+

Only if something about the property is genuinely unclear, and only once. There’s no sales call, no quote negotiation, no phone tag.

Pricing & orders

Are prices really fixed?+

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.

What if I pick the wrong valuation type?+

Tell us before the report is prepared and we will move the order to the right one. Every report's price is published on the pricing page, so you can see what the correct one costs before you decide.

How long does a property valuation take?+

Delivery estimates depend on the selected report, available evidence and inspection access. Review the timing shown for your order and tell us about a deadline before paying.

What happens if the property is tenanted or hard to access?+

Most reports are prepared from property records and comparable sales, so nobody needs to attend. Where the report you ordered includes an inspection, we arrange the time with the tenant or the managing agent directly and you do not need to be there.

Still unsure? That's what we're here for.
