If yours is not below, ask a real valuer and a valuer picks it up.
A 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 the part people underrate. In Glenelg the same address can need a figure for a day forty years ago and a figure for last month, and those are two different reports because they rest on two different bodies of evidence.
An appraisal is a free, unsigned selling estimate offered while an agent competes for a listing, and it can only ever speak about now. A valuation is independent of any sale, effective as at a stated date, evidenced by settled sales and signed by the person whose opinion it is. Most of what people need in Glenelg is a stated date that has already passed, which an appraisal cannot reach at all.
In South Australia, a valuer with the professional qualification and standing to have their opinion relied on, working within the scheme the Land Valuers Act 1994 sets up. Their name and credentials appear on the report, which is exactly what allows a third party to act on it.
Yes. A valuer independent of your fund prepares and signs it, SISR 8.02B is the standard it is written to, and the comparable sales are attached rather than summarised, so an auditor can follow the figure back to its evidence.
The valuer who reached the opinion, named with their qualification. Not the model that gathered the evidence, and not anyone signing in their place. (from $550).
No, and in Glenelg there is a second reason beyond the missing signature. It reads the market as it stands today, so it cannot answer for a day that has already gone, which is what most of the work here turns on. Use it to decide. On timing: a signed desktop report usually goes out the same day, and an Automated Market Assessment arrives the next business day.
It is effective as at its date rather than open-endedly. Where the organisation receiving it applies a currency period, that period governs, and your adviser will know which. A large share of what we prepare in Glenelg is written to a day well in the past, where currency is not the question being asked at all.
Yes. $169 for signed desktop reports, $79 for Automated Market Assessments. Inspection valuations start at $550, with the exact price confirmed at checkout before you pay, never after.
An advertised price is a marketing position, often a range set to attract interest. A valuation reports settled evidence. In Glenelg a campaign tends to sell the location, which every property here shares equally, and to say very little about the one behind the address.
A signed desktop report is usually ready the same business day, and the age of the date makes no difference to that. An inspected report waits on access, which is 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 built on it, struck for rating at a date the council chose. Where much of a suburb sits in buildings held with other owners, as it does in Glenelg, that figure and the value of a particular property are barely related. A valuation covers the whole property at the date you need.
