Current market valuation report:Whether you are buying, renovating, or simply topping up the mortgage, if you need a valuation for meeting bank requirements to secure finance you will need a full registered current market valuation report.
What is a full registered valuation report? A full registered current market report is accepted by lending institutions as an official independent, professional estimation of value which they use to base their lending decisions. Considered a legal document, this report has certain stipulated requirements under the New Zealand Institute of Valuers and the Property Institute of New Zealand Standards. These standards impose direct professional liability upon the registered valuer who signs the report. It is an important document from which big decisions are made - like determining the about of money you may be paying of for the next 25 years! Valuation Solutions takes its role in this process very seriously, and likes to back-up our written reports with unlimited on-call advice and support.
How's it different from a real estate agent's assessment or my Council rating valuation? A full registered report is a far cry from a real estate agent's verbal non-liable sales assessment, or the on-mass formulaic calculations of which Council rating valuations are based. These tables below will help to highlight the differences: REGISTERED VALUER compared to REAL ESTATE AGENT
VALUATION SOLUTIONS compared to RATINGS & DESKTOP VALUES:
In what type of property do you specialise? We are residential specialists pure & simple! That's all we do. We specialise in residential property...from exclusive architectually designed homes, through to studio investment units...and everything in between!
As residentail specialists we do not have to water-down our market knowledge over other property types, like commercial, industrial, retail and rural. Everyday we hone our expertise on being able to answer your most burning question: "what's my house worth?"
When can you initiate your own report versus a bank arranged report? Check with your bank manager...if a valuation is required, it is worth your while to enquire about how it is to be organised, or you may end up paying significantly more than the average market fee. Valuation Solutions Ltd were accepted by all banks and institutions until many of the big banks moved their processes over to the Australian system in 2017. These banks can now arrange a valuation through a commercial “ordering house” that appoint valuation firms to undertake a report at the cost of the client. The ordering house is an additional party in the process charging for their service. The price of your bank arranging a report can certainly significantly inflate the cost to you. Valuation Solutions is still accepted by many institutions, including ANZ and most of the non-Australian local finance lenders. Request to arrange your own valuer – it could save you $100s.
Yes - always. A full internal & external onsite inspection is critical to valuation accuracy. Our senior registered valuer personally undertakes ALL Valuation Solutions inspections. We try our best to offer appointment times convenient to you (depending on your urgency), or can organise inspection directly with your estate agent or property manager.
Does the report cover building defects? Most registered valuers are not qualified builders or engineers. Valuations are not designed as an assessment of a property's structural soundness. We strongly suggest when buying, or as a tool when selling, invest in a building inspection report.
What will the report document include? Our full registered report meets all the requirements of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers and the New Zealand Property Institute. It is our most comprehensive report option available, covering 15-18 pages. Our senior valuer will undertake a full onsite internal and external inspection of the property, then provide you with a written report including:
