What is an industrial property valuation?
An industrial property valuation assesses the value of a warehouse, factory, logistics facility or other industrial property at a stated date. The analysis considers the real estate, its operational suitability, relevant market evidence and the property interest being valued.
Propti coordinates reports for owner-occupied premises, tenanted investments and industrial sites. Before work begins, confirm whether the valuation concerns the property only or also requires separately scoped equipment, business or other asset advice.
Industrial features that matter
- Warehouse clearance, floor area, loading doors and building configuration.
- Truck access, turning space, hardstand and parking.
- Access to freight routes, ports, airports and customer markets.
- Power capacity, services, cold-storage infrastructure or specialised fit-out.
- Zoning, approved use, site constraints and available environmental information.
- Lease terms, rent, vacancy and responsibility for outgoings.
A building’s usefulness to potential occupiers can be as important as its size. A logistics warehouse, food-processing facility and trade workshop may attract different buyers and tenants, even within the same industrial precinct.
How the report is scoped
The valuer considers appropriate comparable sales and, for investment property, rental and income evidence. An inspection and the reporting detail are agreed for the purpose. A valuation is not an engineering or environmental investigation; tell us about existing reports and known issues so they can be considered appropriately.
For vacant industrial land or a development proposal, explain the current approvals and whether the request concerns the site as it stands or an assumed completed project. See land valuations and construction cost reports for related assessments.
What to provide
Send the address, purpose, required date, plans, building areas and access details. For leased premises, include the lease, variations, rental schedule and outgoings. Note tenant-owned plant, unusual infrastructure and any restrictions on inspecting the property.
Frequently asked questions
Can an owner-occupied factory be valued?
Yes. Explain the occupation and the interest to be valued. The absence of a third-party lease does not remove the need for market evidence.
Does the valuation include machinery?
Not automatically. Identify plant, equipment and fixtures at the instruction stage so inclusions, exclusions and any separate specialist work are clear.
Can I order a valuation for refinancing?
Confirm the lender’s panel and ordering requirements before proceeding. Read about mortgage-purpose valuations, then request a quote for the agreed scope.
