Valuation
Property valuation is the analysing of property transactions to determine their comparable value. Valuers gather and evaluate a range of information to determine the market value of a property.
Valuations are used for many purposes, including setting limits for the sale and purchase of properties, setting rental levels, determining compensation following the compulsory acquisition of property; asset accounting and management; lending and associated financial dealings, property settlements, property rating and taxation systems, and property portfolio analysis.
Valuer-General Victoria (VGV) is the state’s independent authority on property valuations. VGV oversees all significant government property valuations and council rating valuations.
If you need a valuation of your property, you should contact the Australian Property Institute on (+61 3) 9646 1977 or look up a valuer in the Yellow Pages.
