If yours is not below, ask a real valuer and a valuer picks it up.
A registered valuer's signed opinion of what a property was worth on one nominated day, with the comparable sales and the reasoning set out beneath it. The day is chosen to suit the question being answered, which is why a report prepared for one purpose does not automatically settle another.
An appraisal is a free selling estimate offered while an agent competes for a listing, it speaks about now, and nobody signs it. A valuation is independent of any sale, effective as at a stated date, evidenced by settled sales and signed. In Bundaberg the date needed is very often one that passed years ago, which puts it outside what an appraisal can do at all.
In Queensland, a valuer registered under the Valuers Registration Act, whose name and registration number appear on the report. That is the part that lets an auditor, an accountant or a revenue office act on the figure rather than simply read it.
Yes. It is prepared by a valuer independent of your fund, written with SISR 8.02B in mind, and the comparable sales are attached in full rather than described, so an auditor can trace the figure back to its evidence.
The valuer who formed the opinion, named with their qualification and registration. Not the model that gathered the evidence, and not anybody signing on their behalf. On a Bundaberg report that signature usually stands behind a figure no sale ever produced, which is why it is the valuer's own name on it..
No. It is unsigned, so there is no independent opinion in it for anyone to rely on, and it speaks about the present. Most Bundaberg orders are for a date in the past, which this cannot address at all. On timing: a signed desktop report usually goes out the same day, and an Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
It speaks as at its effective date rather than indefinitely. Where the body receiving it applies its own currency window, that window is what governs, and your adviser will know which. For most of the Bundaberg work described on this site the question does not arise, because the report is written to a date that is already fixed and cannot move.
Yes. $169 for signed desktop reports, $79 for Automated Market Assessments.
An advertised price is a marketing position, usually a range chosen to draw enquiry, and it describes what somebody hopes to achieve now. A valuation reports what comparable property actually settled at, as at a stated date. In Bundaberg those dates are frequently years apart, so the two figures are not even answering the same question.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day, and that includes reports written to a date well in the past. An inspected report waits on access, which on a long-held Bundaberg property is generally the step that sets the timeline. An Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
No. A rates notice generally carries a land value, the ground on its own with nothing standing on it, struck for rating at a date the council chose rather than a date you chose. A valuation covers the whole property at the date your obligation falls on. Two different questions, and the answers rarely line up.
