FAQs
How long does a valuation take?
From the date, you instruct us to the date you receive the report generally ranges from 2-5 working days. Commercial properties take a little longer. We are also available to undertake urgent assessments – particularly for auctions or court cases.
Do you value plant & equipment?
No, this is a very specialised field but we can refer you to a 'Plant & Equipment' valuer.
What is the difference between a 'Valuation' and a 'Real Estate' agent appraisal?
Real estate agents provide opinions or an appraisal. Only a 'Certified Practicing Valuer' can provide a valuation which is a legal document often required for Government Departments (Taxation) or for 'Court Cases'. Generally, an agent will provide a list price or a predicted sale price at some time in future whereas the valuer is providing the sale price as at that date with a report outlining the property characteristics, sales evidence and market commentary and the property’s marketability.
How much does a valuation cost?
Valuation fees depend on the location, type of property (house, land, unit, farm, shop, commercial property etc.) and the purpose of the valuation (Stamp Duty, Taxation, Family Law etc.) because each report style is different. We can provide you with a quote over the phone at any time.
Do you value businesses?
Yes, but only when associated with a purpose built assets such as a pub, motel or caravan park, these are known as 'Going Concern' valuations. I would not value a cafe or news agency business.
Do you look at what is selling in the area to arrive at the valuation?
Yes, direct comparison is the main method used in valuation. A valuer will compare your property with sales of similar properties that have occurred in the area and make adjustments for the positives and negatives and allow for the market behaviour at that time.

Steve did a valuation of a property I was interested in. The turn around was quick and resulted in successful negotiation.

It was a great pleasure to have Steve do the valuation for our R.S.L. building. He was very easy to deal with and compiled a valuation report that was easy to understand. I highly recommend him to others for his services.

We have recently had the pleasure of working with Stephen Lane of MVS Ballarat to find our new home in Australia. We had been living overseas for 18 years and needed someone knowledgable to help us find a good home. Stephen looked at several houses for us in Ballarat and Geelong and gave us advice on the location, the house itself and the expected valuation of the property. We decided to purchase a property in Geelong, without having actually seen the property ourselves apart from photos, and we love the property. Thanks to Stephen for helping us in this very critical decision.
