Propti property valuation pricing

Propti property valuations start from $350 inc GST. The final fee depends on the property, valuation purpose, report format, required date and any inspection or research. We confirm a quote for the agreed scope before you proceed.

What determines the cost of a property valuation?

Start with the assignment, not the lowest advertised price. A straightforward residential assessment and an expert report for disputed proceedings require different evidence, analysis and reporting. A useful quote identifies the property, purpose, valuation date, intended recipient and inspection scope.

Compare the scope before comparing the fee

Format or purposeWhat to confirm in the quote
Desktop valuationAvailable property data, limitations, suitability without inspection and recipient acceptance.
Short form valuationInspection arrangements, level of reporting and any recipient-specific requirements.
Full valuationAnalysis, supporting evidence, property complexity and the agreed reporting brief.
Retrospective valuationHistorical date, evidence of past condition and access to relevant records.
Expert or specialist assignmentAdditional instructions, meetings, response to questions and any attendance fees.

Compare desktop, short form and full valuations against the recipient's requirements. A cheaper format has little value if it cannot be used for the intended decision.

Information that helps obtain a reliable quote

  • Full address, property type and approximate size.
  • Purpose: for example, CGT, transfer duty, finance or family law.
  • Current or historical valuation date and the interest being valued.
  • Deadline, occupancy and access arrangements.
  • Leases, plans, title details and written recipient instructions.

What should the written fee include?

Confirm GST, inspection or travel charges, the report format, expected delivery and whether clarification questions are included. Ask how additional work is approved and priced. A report fee does not guarantee a particular value or acceptance by another organisation.

Frequently asked questions

Does Propti have one price for every property?

No universal price is stated in this guide. Request a current quote for the property and agreed scope. Historic prices in an older article should not be treated as a current offer.

Can I reuse a bank valuation?

Ask the report author and intended recipient about reliance and purpose. A report commissioned for lending may not suit a separate tax or legal assignment.

Is a desktop valuation always cheaper?

It can involve a narrower scope, but suitability comes first. Missing evidence or an unsuitable property may require an inspection-based assignment.
