Pre-Sale Property Valuation - An Independent Figure Before You List

$279 desktop · on-site from $646. Your fixed price is confirmed before you proceed. Full pricing
Valuer-signed An independent valuation by a qualified valuer, prepared to be ATO-acceptable. Not "ATO-approved" - no such status exists.
Any past date A retrospective valuation assesses market value as at a past date - a date of death, the day a home became a rental, a separation date, or 1 July 2027. Earlier is easier: evidence goes cold.

Before you list — or before you accept an offer — it helps to know what your property is actually worth from someone who isn’t trying to win your listing. A pre-sale valuation is an independent, qualified-valuer figure you can negotiate against with confidence.

When it helps
#

  • Before you list, so you set expectations on evidence, not hope.
  • Before you accept or counter an offer, to know if it’s fair.
  • When agents’ appraisals vary wildly and you want a neutral number.
  • Private sales or between family, where there’s no agent and no arm’s-length price.

Valuation vs the agent’s appraisal
#

An agent’s appraisal is a free opinion designed partly to secure your business — it can run high (to win the listing) or low (to sell fast). A valuation is signed evidence from someone with no stake in whether or how you sell. Both have a place; just don’t confuse the two. See valuation vs appraisal.

Desktop or on-site?
#

A desktop assessment (from $279) suits standard homes with good comparable sales. An on-site valuation (from $646) is worth it for renovated, unusual or high-value property where condition drives the number. We confirm the right level and a fixed price before you proceed.

Common questions
#

Isn't the agent's appraisal enough?
For pricing a listing, an appraisal is the normal tool — but it’s an opinion, and appraisals vary because agents are competing for your business. An independent valuation gives you a neutral figure to sanity-check against.
Will a buyer or their bank accept it?
Lenders commission their own valuation for a mortgage, so a pre-sale valuation is for your decision-making and negotiation, not the buyer’s finance. It’s still strong evidence of market value.
Do you advise on sale strategy or price?
No — we provide an independent market value only. How and when you sell is your and your agent’s call.
What does it cost?
Fixed price first: desktop from $279, on-site from $646, depending on the property.
