Property Appraisals Brisbane

What is a sales appraisal?

A sales appraisal is an expert opinion of value of a property at a given time. It’s more than an informal estimate and requires a detailed report that takes into account many factors including the property’s features, location, recent sales of similar properties and the current market in Brisbane. Sale appraisals are important in many situations – buying and selling, investing and even for legal purposes like family settlements. They are also very valuable for understanding your equity position.

Why Appraisals Matter

Knowing your property’s true value is the foundation of good financial decisions. For buyers and sellers, a correct value will determine an achievable sale price or guide a purchase offer. Valuations and sales appraisals are also used for refinancing, capital gains tax and to make sure you have enough insurance coverage. At Hugo Alexander our valuations are thorough so you can have a number you can rely on.

The Appraisal Process

Our appraisal process involves several steps to ensure accuracy and relevance to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation
   We start by understanding your specific needs, whether it’s a pre-sale understanding of value, investment analysis or financial reporting. This allows us to tailor the appraisal.
2. On-Site Inspection
   A senior agent will inspect the property on site. This includes the exterior and interior of the property, noting room layout, condition, improvements and any unique features that add value to the property.
3. Market Analysis
   We use recent sales in Brisbane and local market trends to develop a context for your property’s valuation. This data driven approach gives you a real picture of where your property sits in the Brisbane property market.
4. Report
   Once all information is collected we produce a valuation report. This includes the final value, summary of findings, market comparisons and any other relevant information.

What Affects Property Value

Property valuations take into account many things:

• Location and Surrounds
  Where in Brisbane the property is and what’s around it affects the value. Properties in high demand areas get higher valuations.
• Property Features
  Size, layout, number of bedrooms and bathrooms and overall design all play a part in valuation. Properties with unique or modern features get higher appraisals.
• Current Market Conditions
  Markets change. Our valuations take into account the latest trends and demand in Brisbane so the valuation reflects the current market.
• Sales Data
  Recent sales of similar properties.¯󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
