What is a property valuation?+
A property valuation is a formal, legally recognised assessment of a property's market value at a specific date, prepared by a registered valuer. It accounts for location, land size, condition, improvements, zoning and recent comparable sales — and is accepted by banks, courts and government bodies.
How much does a valuation cost?+
Residential valuations typically range from $300 to $600 depending on property type, location and purpose. Commercial valuations generally start around $800 and rise with size and complexity. We quote a fixed fee up front, with no obligation.
How long does it take?+
A residential inspection takes 30–60 minutes and the written report is generally delivered within 1–3 business days. Commercial reports usually take 3–7 business days depending on complexity and document access.
Is a valuation the same as an agent's appraisal?+
No. An agent's appraisal is an informal, usually free marketing estimate. A valuation is a legally recognised document prepared by a registered valuer, and is the only version banks, courts and the ATO will accept.
Who can legally value property in Queensland?+
Only valuers registered under the Valuers Registration Act 1992 (Qld) and listed with the Valuers Registration Board of Queensland. All of our valuers are registered, API-accredited and carry professional indemnity insurance.
Can I dispute a valuation?+
Yes. You can request a review, submit additional evidence such as recent comparable sales or updated lease documents, or commission a second opinion from another registered valuer.
