CORE DEFINITION

What does a property valuer do?

A property valuer examines a home or other real estate and supports a value at a stated valuation date. The report describes the purpose, property characteristics, relevant market evidence, method and conclusion. Exact work depends on the instruction.

MATCH THE BRIEF

Why does the choice depend on the situation?

Providers offer different report types, methods and delivery times. A low price tells you little when the report does not fit the recipient or important work sits outside the quote.

How do you compare property valuers?

Work through three steps and write down what the report must deliver.

1

Define the report purpose

Write down whether the valuation supports a mortgage, purchase, sale, division, dispute or business decision.

2

Check the recipient’s requirements

Ask the lender, adviser, court, buyer or other recipient what the report must contain.

3

Put quotes side by side

Compare the work, inspection, evidence, valuation date, total price and delivery date.

FORMAT CHECK

Which valuation format matches the purpose?

The report format should match the job and the recipient. Ask what will be accepted before you order it.

Compare property valuation costs only after each quote states the work, documents, terms and delivery date.

Which criteria should you compare?

Report purpose

A mortgage, purchase, sale, division or business decision calls for a suitable instruction.

Recipient requirements

Ask which party receives the report and which format or validation it accepts.

Evidence

Check which property details, documents, comparable properties and valuation date support the conclusion.

Price and timing

Put the total price, travel, validation and delivery date beside the work included.
