Property Valuation Across Sydney

Sydney is not one property market. Values, buyer demand and the evidence a valuer relies on differ between the CBD and inner city, the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West, the North Shore and Northern Beaches, the Sutherland Shire and the western and south-western growth areas. A Sydney valuer compares your property with recent sales of similar property nearby and adjusts for the differences. The points we consider include:

  • Location and comparable sales: recent sales of similar property in the same suburb or a comparable one
  • Title: freehold, strata title and community title can be valued differently
  • Planning controls: zoning, and any heritage, flood or other overlays that affect use or development potential
  • Property type: houses, apartments, townhouses and land, and commercial, industrial and retail premises
  • Condition and improvements, including any works since an earlier valuation date
02

What Affects the Cost of a Property Valuation

The fee depends on the type and size of the property, how much analysis the purpose needs, whether an inspection is required and how urgent the report is. A simple residential report costs less to prepare than a large commercial or development site. We give a firm fee estimate after the free consultation, before any work begins.

03

Which Property Valuation Do You Need?

The right report depends on why you need it. Start with the purpose, and we will confirm the scope and the valuation date:

  • Capital gains tax or a past date: a CGT or retrospective valuation
  • A self managed super fund: an SMSF property valuation
  • Stamp duty or a transfer: a stamp duty valuation
  • A loan or refinance: a bank or finance valuation
  • A separation or settlement: a family law valuation
  • The right sum insured: an insurance valuation
  • A lease renewal or rent review: a rent valuation
FAQ

Property Valuation FAQs

How much does a property valuation cost?

The fee depends on the type of property, the purpose of the report and how much analysis is involved. Every initial consultation and quote is free, and you receive a firm fee estimate before any work begins.

How long does a property valuation take?

Most property valuations are delivered within 5–10 business days. Urgent matters can be expedited, and we commit to a timeline up front.

Do you value property in Sydney?

Yes. Monita is based at 1/261 George Street, Sydney, and values residential and commercial property in Sydney. We confirm at the free consultation how the inspection will be arranged for your property.

Do you value both commercial and residential property?

Yes. We value residential, commercial, industrial, retail, rural and development property, including specialised assets such as healthcare, hospitality and childcare properties.

What is the difference between a valuation and a real estate appraisal?

A valuer is independent of the sale, shows the market evidence and signs a formal report. An agent appraisal is an opinion of what a property may sell for and is usually not suitable for tax or legal use.

Will a bank, the ATO or a court accept the report?

We prepare the report for the stated purpose, to International Valuation Standards and API guidance. Requirements differ, so tell us the purpose and who will receive it and we will confirm before we start.

Do I need to be at the inspection?

Not always. For many properties we only need access. We agree this at the free consultation.

Can you value a property for a past date?

Yes. We prepare retrospective valuations, including for capital gains tax and estates. The valuer uses sales evidence from around that date and values the property as it was then.

Is a strata apartment valued differently from a house?

The method is the same: recent sales of similar property are compared. For an apartment the valuer also considers the strata title, the building and the features of the lot. Give us the lot and plan details at the start.

What valuation date should I use?

It depends on the purpose. For tax or an estate it is usually a specific past date. For finance, a sale or insurance it is usually a current date. Tell us the purpose and we will confirm the date.

Who prepares the valuation?

Property valuations are prepared by Certified Practising Valuers and overseen by Nirav Shah, a Chartered Valuation Surveyor (MRICS) and Certified Practising Valuer. Reports follow International Valuation Standards, Australian Property Institute standards and RICS Red Book requirements.

What do I need to provide?

Usually the property address, the purpose of the valuation, the date you need the value for and any relevant documents such as the contract of sale, leases, plans or earlier valuations. We confirm exactly what is needed at the free consultation.
