Apartment Valuations

What Is an Apartment Valuation?

An apartment valuation is a formal property valuation of an apartment or unit, prepared by a certified valuer to determine its market value at a particular point in time. Sometimes referred to as a unit valuation or apartment property valuation, this assessment provides a clear and objective understanding of the property’s value for legal, financial, or strategic purposes.

Apartment valuations take into account the subject property’s location, building features, layout, improvements, and available market data. Unlike an informal appraisal or value estimate, a certified valuation is a legally defensible document that supports financial and legal decisions.

Why you might need an apartment property valuation

 

There are many situations where a formal apartment valuation is required. Common scenarios include:  

  • Selling or buying an apartment – to determine fair market value and guide negotiations
  • Refinancing – to support your application with an accurate, independent valuation 
  • Investment strategy – to track the market value of your apartment. 
  • Legal matters – such as family law, deceased estates, or disputes requiring valuation evidence 
  • Pre-development or off-the-plan purchases – to assess market value once construction is completed

Each Acumentis valuation is tailored to the specific property and the circumstances of the request. This helps owners, agents, and legal representatives gain a better understanding of their property’s value and make informed decisions backed by reliable data.

What factors affect apartment valuation?

 

The market value of an apartment depends on a variety of interrelated factors. When determining the value of a unit, our valuers consider:

  • Location and suburb performance – including recent sales and local property market trends
  • Floor level, orientation, and views
  • Size of the apartment and layout
  • Age and condition of the building
  • Strata fees, facilities, and common areas
  • Comparable sales and current price points of similar properties in your area
  • Current market conditions and available listings
  • Any improvements or unique features

By taking all of these elements into account, along with the address and other property details, Acumentis delivers a professional valuation that reflects the true market value of your apartment in today’s conditions.

Apartment Valuation FAQs

An appraisal (or property value estimate) is an informal opinion usually offered by a real estate agent, often used for marketing or pricing purposes. Your local agent may provide an estimated value range, but it’s not legally binding. 

A formal apartment valuation is prepared by a certified property valuer and results in a detailed property report, recognised for legal, financial, and regulatory decisions.

Yes. Our apartment property valuations are widely accepted by major lenders and meet industry and legal requirements for refinancing, borrowing, or financial restructuring.

Most apartment valuations are completed within 5–7 business days, depending on your location and whether a physical inspection is required.

Your report will detail the subject property, provide supporting market data and comparable sales, and present a final market value. This report is suitable for use in financial, legal, or investment contexts.

Yes. While both require a certified valuation process, the factors influencing value differ significantly. Apartment valuations take into account elements such as strata levies, building facilities, floor level, orientation, and shared common areas.

 In contrast, house valuations often consider block size, block dimensions, frontage, potential for subdivision, and outdoor improvements like landscaping or pools. These property-type-specific factors are key to determining accurate house worth or unit value.

Yes. A certified apartment valuation can assist property investors in identifying the building’s value for apartment depreciation purposes. 

While valuations and depreciation schedules serve different roles, both are often needed to support capital works deductions or assess the decline in value of eligible assets.

To deliver an accurate valuation, we’ll need key property information such as the apartment’s address, floor plan, and purpose of the valuation. Details about any improvements, the date of purchase, and the property’s prior sale history (if available) can also help refine our analysis. Whether you're early in your property journey or seeking insights for a complex financial decision, we use this data to provide clear, defensible valuation insights tailored to your circumstances.
