What is a Rating Valuation?
Rating Valuations are completed usually on a three yearly basis for local and district council rating purposes. They are based on mass appraisal techniques, do not include chattels and in many cases, the subject property has not been inspected in order to establish its value. It is our opinion that this should not be relied upon in order to set a current market value of your property.
What is the cost of a valuation?
Most property has different characteristics and therefore our fees can fluctuate depending on the time it takes to value the property. Also, the purpose of the valuation can cause fluctuations in cost. We have an extensive property database with due diligence completed on a very high percentage of properties. This therefore reduces some of our time required in completing a valuation report and thus this cost saving can be passed onto our clients. If you give us a call or fill in our instruction sheet we are able to offer you a no obligation quote to complete a valuation report.
How long will it take to get the valuation report?
For residential reports, we usually have a 6 to 24-hour turnaround depending on access availability. We can provide the report to you or whomever you instruct us to send it to via email instantly once the Valuer has signed the report off. Other types of report usually take 12 hours or more depending on how complex the property is.
