CGT property valuations in the Adelaide Hills.
Yes — we value property across the Adelaide Hills for CGT purposes, current or retrospective, from Stirling and Aldgate through to Mount Barker and Lobethal. A South Australian Certified Practising Valuer inspects and signs the report. Fixed fee quoted within 2 hours.
How is Hills acreage valued for CGT?
Acreage is valued with regard to land area, usable versus steep land, water, vegetation controls, dwelling entitlement and the improvements — not on a dollar-per-hectare rate.
Two Hills parcels of identical size can differ enormously in value where one is largely usable and one is steep, heavily vegetated, or carries native vegetation clearance restrictions.
Where the CGT event relates to a subdivision or a change of use, we identify the components separately and state the apportionment reasoning in the report.
How is bushfire risk and fire history treated?
Bushfire hazard mapping and any fire history are assessed as the market perceived them on the valuation date — which is not necessarily how they are perceived now.
The 2015 Sampson Flat and 2019 Cudlee Creek fires changed both mapping and buyer behaviour in affected districts. A valuation dated shortly before an event must reflect the information available at that time.
Where a property was damaged or rebuilt, its physical condition at the valuation date is established from records and photographs rather than from its current state.
Are Hills heritage villages valued differently?
Yes. Historic conservation zones in the Hills villages restrict alteration and demolition, and that constraint is priced by the market.
Hahndorf, Stirling, Aldgate and Woodside all carry significant heritage and character controls. Comparables are drawn from within the same control regime wherever possible.
Planning controls are assessed as they applied at the valuation date, which under South Australia's Planning and Design Code reforms is often a different framework from today's.

Adelaide Hills CGT valuation questions
Can you value a property that was damaged in a bushfire?
Yes. We value the property in the condition it was actually in on the valuation date, using records, photographs and plans where the property has since been rebuilt or cleared.
Do you value native vegetation or conservation-covenant land?
Yes. Clearance restrictions and heritage agreements limit what can be done with the land and are assessed as they applied at the valuation date.
Do you cover the Barossa and Fleurieu as well?
Yes. Both are covered by our South Australian panel, along with Murray Bridge and the Mount Lofty ranges, with travel included in the fixed fee.
Same methodology, every market.
