What makes Melbourne apartment valuations different?
Melbourne has a large, highly stratified apartment market where CBD and Docklands stock behaves very differently from established suburban low-rise, so comparables must be drawn from the right sub-market.
Applying a CBD high-rise rate to an established Art Deco apartment in the inner east, or vice versa, produces a number that will not survive review. Sub-market selection is where most weak apartment valuations fail.
Where the building was completed close to the valuation date, off-the-plan resales and initial contract prices need to be treated carefully, because they often reflect marketing incentives rather than market value.
How do heritage overlays affect a Melbourne valuation?
Heritage overlays restrict demolition and alteration, which affects the site's development potential and therefore its market value at the valuation date.
Much of the inner north, inner east and Port Phillip area sits under a heritage overlay. Two otherwise identical sites can differ materially in value where one is affected and one is not.
We assess the planning controls that applied on the valuation date. Overlays are amended over time, so today's planning map is not evidence of what applied five or fifteen years ago.
Do you value subdivision and development sites?
Yes. Where the land had realistic subdivision or redevelopment potential at the valuation date, that potential forms part of market value and must be assessed.
Middle-ring Melbourne holds a large stock of post-war houses on generous allotments, many of which have subdivision potential under the applicable zone. Ignoring it understates the cost base and can cost you at sale.
Where the CGT event relates to the subdivision itself, apportionment between the retained and disposed lots becomes central, and we set that out explicitly in the report.

Melbourne CGT valuation questions
How quickly can you inspect a Melbourne property?
Metropolitan inspections are typically booked within two to three business days of instruction, subject to tenant access. A 48-hour urgent service is available where a lodgement deadline is close.
Can you value a tenanted Melbourne investment property?
Yes. We arrange access through the managing agent with the notice required under the Residential Tenancies Act. Where access cannot be obtained in time, a kerbside assessment with documented assumptions is an accepted alternative.
Do you cover regional Victoria?
Yes — Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and the Surf Coast are all covered, with travel included in the fixed fee.
Same methodology, every capital city.
