What Is a House Valuation?
A house valuation is an independent professional assessment of a property's 
market value.
A qualified valuer considers:
•  Location
•  Land size
•  Building size
•  Construction type
•  Building age
•  Condition
•  Accommodation
•  Surrounding amenities
•  Supply and demand
•  Comparable market evidence
The result is a professional opinion of the property's value for a specified 
purpose and valuation date.
Why Do You Need House Valuers?
Professional house valuers can help when you need an objective 
assessment for:
•  Buying or selling
•  Mortgage security
•  Taxation
•  Capital Gains Tax
•  Family law
•  Property settlement
•  Deceased estates
•  Probate
•  Insurance
•  Stamp duty
•  Related-party transfers
•  Investment and financial planning
Vals QLD provides residential valuations for a broad range of these 
purposes.
House Valuation vs. Market Estimate
A professional valuation is different from an 
informal price estimate
A qualified house valuer undertakes research and analysis of factors such 
as:
•  Property characteristics
•  Local market conditions
•  Comparable sales
•  Land and improvements
•  Supply and demand
•  Location
•  Property condition
The objective is to provide an independent, evidence-based valuation 
rather than a sales opinion.
