FAQs about Property Valuation in Melbourne
What is a Property Valuation?
A property valuation is an independent, professional assessment of a property’s market value that produces a documented dollar estimate. It’s based on verifiable market evidence and prepared by an API or AVI-registered valuer working to Australian professional and legal standards. Older legal practice still sometimes uses the term “sworn valuation report,” but that usage is declining.
Local Valuers receives most Melbourne B2C enquiries by phone or email. We use a direct comparison approach for typical residential work, analysing recent sales and local market indicators across Melbourne suburbs. Before quoting, we verify CoreLogic and other sales sources, council zoning (including Victorian planning overlays), and current market trends to assess complexity and timeframe.
A property valuation differs from an agent’s appraisal: agents produce appraisals to assist a sale, while a valuation is independent, evidence-based, and suitable for legal, accounting, or financial reliance. Valuation reports are used in legal matters, tax, and internal accounts. Inspections are also carried out to substantiate the final written report.
How Much Does a Property Valuation Cost in Melbourne?
Residential valuations in Melbourne usually fall between $300 and $1,000. Commercial or specialised valuations start from $1,000 and rise with complexity, site size, and uniqueness. Price drivers include the suburb (inner-city, middle-ring, growth corridor), property type, urgency, and whether a detailed inspection is required.
Beware cheaper non-certified reports that won’t be acceptable for legal, lending or ATO purposes. For matters that require compliance (tax, estate or court use) engage a certified local valuer and confirm the inspection is included in the quote.
How Long Does a Property Valuation Take in Melbourne?
A standard residential inspection typically takes 10-15 minutes. Our experienced senior valuers complete thousands of Melbourne inspections, keeping on-site time efficient. The written report is generally delivered within 2-3 business days. We can prioritise same-day turnarounds for urgent matters (e.g., urgent probate or bail valuations), sometimes even accomplishing the task within hours
Delays can come from large land parcels, complex title/zoning issues (e.g., planning overlays, heritage controls), missing documents, or unique features requiring specialist input. Using an experienced local valuer speeds the process due to strong knowledge of Melbourne’s micro-markets.
When is a Valuation Needed in Melbourne?
Typical uses include: purchase/sale decisioning, family law/divorce asset division, probate and deceased estates, and tax (capital gains, stamp duty, and lending/refinance). In all cases, the valuation provides an independent, legally compliant figure that courts, accountants, and government agencies can rely on.
What Local Factors Influence Market Value in Melbourne?
Key drivers we assess for Melbourne properties:
- Location and suburb dynamics: CBD fringe, inner-ring or growth corridor, proximity to tram and train lines, schools, and retail precincts are all factors to consider.
- Condition and age include maintenance, roof/windows, renovations, and whether the home is a period or new build.
- Recent comparable sales: We consult multiple data sources for auction results and private sale evidence across Melbourne suburbs.
- Planning & overlays: heritage listings, Victorian planning overlays, and development potential (subdivision or infill).
- Economic conditions & interest rates: macro factors that change buyer demand in Melbourne.
- Market sentiment: We monitor auction clearance rates and buyer confidence in local precincts.
- Seasonality: Melbourne’s peak selling seasons and event calendars can influence buyer turnout and transaction timing.
