How We Ensure Accuracy
At Local Valuers, we prioritise accuracy in our home valuations through a combination of advanced technology, expert knowledge, and comprehensive methodologies. Here’s how we set ourselves apart from competitors:
Qualified Independent Valuers
Our team consists of qualified independent valuers who are members of the Australian Property Institute (API). Their extensive training and experience in the Australian property market enable them to deliver precise valuations. Our valuers adhere to strict industry standards and guidelines, ensuring that every valuation report is not only accurate but also compliant with regulatory requirements.
Comprehensive Market Analysis
We conduct thorough market analysis that includes reviewing recent sales of comparable properties in the area. This comparative market analysis (CMA) allows us to establish a fair market value based on current market conditions and trends. By understanding local dynamics and property types, we can accurately assess how various factors influence property values.
On-Site Property Inspections
A critical component of our independent property valuation and advisory services is the on-site property inspection. A valuer from our team conducts detailed assessments of each property, examining its physical aspects, unique features, and overall condition. This hands-on approach ensures that we capture all relevant information that may affect the property’s value.
Detailed Valuation Reports
After this process, we provide clients and financial institutions with detailed property valuation reports that outline our findings and the methodologies used. These reports include supporting data, such as comparable sales and market analysis, which enhances transparency and builds trust with our clients.
By combining expert insights, advanced technology, local market expertise, and rigorous methodologies, a local valuer ensures that our home valuations are accurate, reliable, and tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. This commitment to quality sets us apart in the competitive landscape of property valuation services.

SMSF Valuation: A Key Consideration for Homeowners
For homeowners who are also trustees of an SMSF, understanding the importance of SMSF property valuations is essential. SMSF trustees are required to value all fund assets, including real estate, at market value annually to comply with ATO regulations. This valuation is necessary for accurate financial reporting and plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with superannuation laws.
06
Why SMSF Valuations Matter
SMSF valuations are significant because they help trustees monitor their investments and ensure that properties are held solely for providing retirement benefits. Accurate valuations are crucial for:
- Annual Financial Statements: Trustees must report the market value of their SMSF assets each year, including property, to maintain compliance and avoid penalties.
- Investment Strategy Review: Regular valuations help trustees align their investment strategies with current market conditions, ensuring that their SMSF remains on track to meet retirement goals.
- Audit Requirements: SMSF auditors rely on accurate property valuations to assess compliance with regulations. Inadequate or outdated valuations can lead to audit complications and potential contraventions.
- SMSF Valuations: For homeowners who are also trustees of a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), we provide specialised property valuations to ensure compliance with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regulations. Accurate SMSF valuations are crucial for annual financial reporting and investment strategy reviews.
