Reserve your spot — no payment
Luxury Australian home at dusk for premium CGT valuation evidence

On-site from $835

Full inspection, the one to use for a CGT figure, because the ATO can test it. Desktop from $362.

Valuer-signed

Every report names the independent valuer who signed it, with the evidence behind the figure.

Reserve for nothing

No payment to reserve. The report is produced from July 2027, when the value it records exists.

Reserve your spot

How it works
#

  1. Reserve now (no payment yet) — we keep you informed.
  2. An indicative appraisal is not available yet; if that changes before 2027 we’ll send you one — automated and unsigned.
  3. From ~July 2027 we deliver your signed, ATO-acceptable valuation as at the end of 30 June 2027.

Any indicative appraisal we send is an automated estimate provided for general information. It is not a certified valuation, is not signed by a qualified valuer, and is not suitable for ATO or tax purposes. Your signed, ATO-acceptable market valuation as at the end of 30 June 2027 is delivered separately.

A market value as at the end of 30 June 2027 can only be finalised once that date has passed. General information, not tax advice.

Are you ready to reserve?

A quick check that a valuation as at the end of 30 June 2027 is right for you before you reserve.

Tick what applies to see how ready you are to reserve.

SMSF trustee? Your fund is outside this reform for property acquired on or after 20 September 1985 — pre-CGT property is caught whoever holds it — and it has a separate annual market-valuation obligation (SIS Reg 8.02B) — start at SIS Reg 8.02B explained or order at SMSF Property Valuer instead of reserving here.

Pricing

  • Premium CGT on-site (full inspection, most defensible): from $835 — the one to use for a CGT figure, because the ATO can test it
  • Premium CGT desktop (valuer-signed, no inspection). Not the one to use for your 1 July 2027 cost base: with no inspection it is not an International Valuation Standards valuation, so it suits lower-stakes uses such as updating or monitoring an earlier figure. If the figure may be tested, choose the on-site option above: from $362
  • Ultra-high-value / commercial: a senior independent valuation firm, from $2,145 (quote)

All prices include GST. Every report names the valuer who signed it.

A valuation as at the end of 30 June 2027, ordered after that date, is retrospective (quoted separately). Reserving costs nothing today — deposit and refund terms will be published when payments open.

Wondering how much a CGT property valuation costs and why the tiers differ? That guide walks through what actually moves the price — scope, property type and whether the valuer inspects.

Two-minute self-check: which valuation package fits?

Answer a few questions and we'll suggest a pathway using your suburb's price history. Everything is processed in your browser only — nothing you type here is sent or stored.

This suggestion is general information based on suburb median-price history (state government / ABS open data). It is not a valuation and not tax or financial advice. Final scope and your fixed price are confirmed when you enquire.

Your request could not be saved. Please try again.
Thanks — we’ve received your request. We’ll email you shortly with the next steps and a personalised quote. If it doesn’t arrive within a business day, please check your spam folder.

No payment is taken — we reply with a fixed quote for your property. By submitting you agree to be contacted about your request.

We use your details to prepare your quote, to contact you about it, and to arrange and deliver your valuation. If you engage us, we also create and keep a long-term record of the property's documents and condition as at 30 June 2027, so that you, your accountant, or a valuer you appoint can use it when the property is eventually sold. We keep property information after your personal details are removed, to improve our valuation reference data. We do not sell your personal information. Your details are handled by our email provider, Brevo, which stores data in the EU. See our Privacy Policy; you can ask us to delete your details at any time.

Our valuer panel is being built state by state, so a valuer may not yet be available for your property — we tell you before you proceed, not after.

Questions
#

Is it ATO-acceptable?
The signed report is an independent valuation by a qualified valuer, prepared to be ATO-acceptable. Not “ATO-approved” — no such status exists.
When do I get it?
Signed valuations as at the end of 30 June 2027 are delivered from around July 2027. Reserve now: no payment, and your fixed price is confirmed before any work begins.
Is a backdated valuation just as safe — can I stop worrying and sort it out later?
This is the most common assumption we hear from tax agents and real estate agents, and it deserves a straight answer: a retrospective valuation is legitimate and often relied on — but it is not automatically worry-free. Sales evidence around the date goes cold, the property’s condition at that date has to be reconstructed, fewer clean comparables survive, the work costs more, and a weakly-evidenced number is easier to challenge years later when it matters most. Think of retrospective as the fallback, not the plan: a contemporaneous valuation prepared around the date itself is the cleanest evidence you can hold.
Missed the date?
A valuation as at the end of 30 June 2027 ordered after the fact is a retrospective CGT valuation (quoted separately) — still independent and valuer-signed, but harder to evidence than a contemporaneous report, so reserving early is cheaper and cleaner.
What about property bought before 1985 (pre-CGT)?
Under the 2026 reform, now law (Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Act 2026), the blanket exemption for assets acquired before 20 September 1985 ends for gains after 1 July 2027 — those properties receive a deemed cost base equal to market value at the end of 30 June 2027 (unless you choose the Treasurer’s apportioning method, s 112-175(3)(b)), just before the reset takes effect, which makes dated valuation evidence especially important. Confirm treatment with your tax professional.
How much does a CGT property valuation cost?
Our packages are listed under reserve readiness and pricing on this site - the on-site tier (full inspection) from $835 for a CGT figure, and a desktop tier from $362 for lower-stakes purposes, priced by property type. No payment is taken at reservation. For what actually moves the price, see how much a CGT property valuation costs.
Do I need a property valuation for capital gains tax?
If a CGT event happens without an arm’s-length sale price - the 1 July 2027 cost base reset, a home becoming a rental, an inheritance or a transfer - dated, independent market-value evidence is generally the cleanest support. Ask your accountant which applies, then reserve your valuation.
Is a valuation compulsory for the 1 July 2027 reset?
No — it is a choice. The alternative is the Treasurer’s free apportioning method (a formula that estimates the 1 July 2027 value by applying one constant compound growth rate across your whole ownership period, with ATO tools to come). A signed valuation matters when that single compounded rate would understate your property’s real 1 July 2027 value — strong recent growth, renovations, an unusual property — or when you want independently defensible evidence. See valuation vs the free formula and confirm with a registered tax professional.

General information only — not tax, financial or legal advice. The indicative appraisal is automated and is not a certified or ATO-suitable valuation; the signed valuation is provided separately by a qualified valuer.
