Commercial Property Valuations

Extensive insights on
sales, rents, & yields

Commercial real estate valuations are more complex than residential valuations, taking into account a broad range of internal and external factors including the property’s net operating income (capitalisation method) and the current market value of similar properties (sales comparison approach).

Acumentis commercial valuers collect and analyse data on sales, gross rental income, values, and yields. We then undertake searches and market analysis using our extensive database to ensure accurate valuation and consultancy advice.

By knowing all the facts we can then provide you with expert insights to inform confident decision making. Reports are turned around quickly and are usually presented within five working days of access to a property.

Commercial Property Valuation FAQs

A commercial property valuation is a professional legally binding report that determines the market value of a property as of the inspection date. It assesses factors like the property’s dimensions, condition, income potential, and comparisons with recent market sales. This valuation serves as a critical tool for informed decision-making and financial planning.

A property valuation is needed during property transactions such as purchases, sales, refinancing, or transfers, as well as for financial reporting on property assets. For purchases or sales, valuations ensure the property’s security value aligns with the loan amount, safeguarding financial agreements.

Commercial property valuations are conducted by Certified Practising Valuers who hold a university degree and are accredited by the Australian Property Institute(API). These professionals have specialised expertise in the commercial property industry, ensuring accurate and reliable assessments.

Commercial property valuations serve a variety of purposes, including establishing a property’s value before purchase or sale. They are also essential for securing a mortgage, refinancing loans, or ensuring a property’s value adequately covers a loan. Additionally, a commercial property valuation is often required for family or partnership settlements, insurance claims, and financial reporting purposes.

A property valuation is a formal, legally binding report prepared by a qualified and registered property valuer, detailing the market value of a property at a specific date. It is supported by comprehensive comparable sales data and market analysis. In contrast, a real estate appraisal is an informal estimate or opinion of a property’s current value in the current real estate market and is not legally binding.

A commercial property valuation is a report completed after a detailed inspection is undertaken on a property. Commercial real estate valuations are more complex than residential property, taking into account a broad range of factors including;

  • Property overview, description of the property
  • Comparable sales
  • Condition of the property
  • Net operating income
  • Risk ratings that identify any market or environmental risks
  • Any issues uncovered during the inspection, research or other searches conducted

The length of time a commercial valuation takes depends on the property type and its specific characteristics. Inspections for commercial and industrial properties generally take longer than residential property inspections, which are typically completed within half an hour. A retail property valuation or an assessment for agribusiness properties may also require additional time due to their complexity. Once all required documentation is provided, an asset valuation report is usually delivered within five working days of instruction. The exact timeframe will be confirmed when scheduling your inspection.

Yes, a commercial property valuation can be reviewed or challenged if discrepancies or additional information come to light. If you believe a valuation does not accurately reflect the property’s value, you can provide further documentation, recent comparable sales data, or updated market insights for consideration. The valuer may reassess their findings based on the new information. Open communication with your valuer is key to addressing any concerns and ensuring the accuracy of commercial valuations.

Commercial property valuations should be updated regularly, particularly when there are significant changes in the property market or the property itself. It is recommended to obtain a new valuation during key events such as property sales, refinancing, major renovations, or changes in rental income. Additionally, updating valuations every few years helps ensure that you have an accurate understanding of your property’s market value, which is essential for investment decisions, tax assessments, and financial reporting.

Our expert commercial property valuers can offer you accurate valuation and consultancy advice that will provide invaluable insights into your property’s current market value, helping you make well-informed decisions. Whether you're considering buying, selling, refinancing, or investing, expert advice from a qualified valuer ensures that you understand all financial and market factors affecting your property. Our trusted advisory services can help you mitigate risks, optimise returns, and ensure that your property decisions align with market trends and your long-term objectives.
