Our Property Valuation Services Are:
Capital Gains Tax Valuations
Whenever you profit from the sale of an asset, you must pay a tax. This tax is known as Capital Gains Tax (CGT). As property is an incredibly large asset it will incur a large amount of CGT which is linked to market value.
Capital Gains Tax valuations can be essential in determining the tax liabilities of a homeowner or investor. Our valuers, research and collect all the necessary data that allows them to calculate the precise value of a property at a previous date. This would be the date the property first came into your possession which is important for calculating your CGT.
Commercial Property Valuation
The process of a commercial property valuation is much like one conducted on a residential property. Our valuers at Vals NSW are highly experienced with all types of commercial properties and of every scale. From small businesses to large industrial complexes, our expertise covers it.
Valuations for commercial properties are done for many reasons, this includes rent, settlements, estate transfers or taxation purposes. Whatever our clients' needs, our services provide valuations that are accurate and perfectly suited to your situation. In business, time is money, and our valuers deliver every report in a timely manner.
Compensation Valuations
If something outside of your control occurs and it negatively affects the value of your property then you are entitled to receive compensation. In many of these situations the outside party, be they the government or a private entity, might call upon their own valuer. You should highly discourage this and use an independent valuer.
If you use a valuer provided by whom you are seeking compensation, you can be sure that they would not be working to serve your best interests. An independent valuer, such as the ones you can find here at Vals NSW, is unbiased and will complete a valuation report with exactly the correct amount of compensation you are owed.
Deceased Estate/Probate Valuation
For fair and just division, an asset must be correctly valued. For most, there is no greater asset than their property. Many choose to keep an asset they inherit, in part or in full, others wish to transfer ownership. In every case, the deceased’s estate must be properly valued.
These valuations are highly sensitive for our clients, so our valuers handle them with the utmost compassion and understanding. Each valuation is properly calculated and provided promptly to make the process of handling the estate as smooth as possible for our clients.
Family Law Property Valuations
There are multiple reasons for seeking property valuations for family law, this could include a settlement for divorce/separation or the handling of a deceased’s estate. If the situation has escalated to a courtroom, then you will need a valuation that meets the set lawful requirements.
A valuation of this kind must be more in-depth and detailed than your standard valuation. It must also be a legally certified document. All this can be done by a certified independent valuer. They will not only meet the standards set by the court but will also provide an unbiased report that shows the true value of a property.
Insurance Valuation
When it comes to insurance, you’d only want to pay the premiums that you need and no more. To make sure that this is the case, you will need to provide your insurer with an accurate and detailed valuation.
By employing the services of an independent valuer, you won’t need to rely on what insurers tell you is sufficient to cover your property. Our valuation services are thorough, covering every minute detail. From costs of demolition, site clearing to labour and materials, you can be sure that every cost will be factored into our valuations.
Internal Accounting Valuations
These types of valuations are generally used for understanding your current financial position. They may also be used for such reasons as unit entitlements or superannuation fund purposes.
Internal accounting valuations serve as a vital resource that our clients can use whenever they are facing a major financial decision. It will give you a clear and comprehensive view of all your assets including your property. Whether you just want to know where you currently stand or you’re considering a new investment, our valuation services cater to you.
Mortgage Property Valuation
Whether you’re hoping to buy a new property or are simply refinancing, having a highly detailed and accurate property valuation will be crucial. For mortgages, if you go to one of the big banks, they will provide you with their own valuer. Smaller financial institutions may require the services of an independent valuer.
This could end up in your favour, as independent valuers, such as the ones have here at Vals NSW, provide you with a valuation that is free from bias and self-interest. After all, we have no stakes in the value of your property, we simply provide you with an objective report.
Pre-Sale/Pre-Purchase Valuations
Whether you’re buying or selling you’d want to know you are getting a good deal for the value of the property. A buyer doesn’t want to overpay, and a seller doesn’t want to undersell.
By having a pre-purchase/pre-sale valuation conducted by an independent valuer, both parties will each have agreeable and objective information to base their negotiations from. The report will be free from bias and a true reflection of the property’s value. Whether you’re the buyer or seller, it pays to be well informed.
Property Settlement Valuations
Settlements are stressful for all parties involved and our clients want everything to be fair. A certified valuer will provide the parties with a legally certified document that all can agree on as it shows the correct value of the subject property.
As these cases are often time-sensitive, our valuation services can complete an accurate and unbiased report promptly to our clients. Settlements require a short-form report, but should the case escalate to a courtroom, then a long-form report can be supplied.
Property Valuation for Tax Purposes
Many things come with owning your own home and one of them is taxes. These can come from owning property, buying property, and selling property. You'll need to be aware of how much your liabilities are.
To aid in calculating how much you may owe in taxes, you can use the services of a certified valuer. From stamp duty to capital gains tax, our property valuers are experienced in providing valuations for tax purposes for various scenarios. Our vast expertise extends to many property types meaning tax valuations can be prepared for residential, commercial, rural, and industrial properties.
Rental Valuation/Rental Reviews
A rent valuation would benefit both the tenant and the owner of the property. No tenant wants to pay more than they must, and an owner doesn’t want to charge less than they should.
With a rent valuation, provided by a qualified independent valuer, you will have a certified document that gives you an in-detail report of everything that gives the property value and what may be an issue in the future. The report will cover the property’s true value in the present market and will be an excellent tool when negotiating a rental agreement.
Retrospective Property Valuations
A retrospective property valuation is a very similar process to a current market valuation, with the key difference being the date. A retrospective examines the market to determine the value of your property at a previous date.
A valuation of this type could serve many different purposes including, property settlements, the handling of a deceased estate or for tax purposes. A valuation expert, such as the ones provided here at Vals NSW, will provide you with a detailed and true report of your property’s value at any point in time to suit your needs.
Property Valuation for Divorce Settlement
For both parties involved, being able to divide assets, most importantly, property, fairly is a top priority. In many of these cases, trust has been lost between the two parties and so they put their trust into third parties, i.e., lawyers.
With the assistance of an independent valuer, both parties can trust that they are working with a legally certified document free from bias. A valuation, provided by our services, is based only on our research of the current market and objective facts. We deliver accurately and quickly, which helps you reach your settlement sooner and to the satisfaction of both parties.
Stamp Duty Valuations
When a property’s ownership is transferred from one person to another, then you must pay Stamp Duty tax. Whether it be through an arm’s length sale or a transfer of title from a close relative, this tax is unavoidable.
With the assistance of a valuation expert, you could lessen the amount of tax owed. A valuation report provided by a certified valuer will be made with all relevant market data and will be an accurate telling of the property’s value. All documents are comprehensive and transparent to ensure that all evidence contributing to the value of the property is clear.
Unit Entitlements
Every property that is a part of a Strata Scheme must have a unit entitlement valuation. This valuation will determine the scheme fees and the voting rights of the unit owner.
Unit entitlements not only determine the value of an individual property but of the Strata Scheme as a whole. These valuations must be done before the purchase of a strata property but many of our clients request a re-evaluation if they feel the previous valuation doesn’t reflect the property’s current value or they’re unsatisfied with how it was calculated. No matter the circumstance, Vals NSW can assist.
