A valuer needs evidence and access
A valuation is stronger when the valuer can inspect the property properly and understand its documents, land size, improvements, services, condition, and comparable market evidence.
- Prepare ownership documents, plans, rates information, and lease details if rented.
- Make all rooms, outbuildings, garages, cottages, and service areas accessible.
- List upgrades such as solar, borehole, tanks, security, roofing, kitchens, bathrooms, and extensions.
- Disclose defects rather than hiding them.
- Share recent comparable offers or sales evidence if available.
