A useful appraisal explains the likely selling range and the evidence behind it. Ray White Addington offers a free, no-obligation property appraisal, whether you are ready to sell or still weighing up your next move.
We arrange a convenient time to see the property. Layout, condition, improvements, outdoor space and the setting can make a meaningful difference, and are not always captured by an online estimate. Tell us about renovations, relevant consents, known issues and anything that may affect your timing.
We consider recent comparable sales and explain how they relate to your home. Differences in size, condition, land, ownership type and location matter. Where directly comparable evidence is limited, that limitation should be clear rather than hidden behind a precise-looking figure.
We explain the estimated range and the supporting comparisons, then discuss your goals and possible sale approaches. An appraisal is an informed market opinion at the time it is prepared, not a promise of the eventual sale price. Buyer demand and market conditions can change.
A sales appraisal helps you plan a sale using relevant market evidence. A council rating value is prepared for rating purposes at a particular valuation date; it is not a prediction of the price a buyer will pay today. A registered valuation is a separate professional service, which your lender or adviser may require for a specific purpose.
Tell us which decision you are trying to make so we can discuss whether a sales appraisal is suitable. Independent information is available in the Real Estate Authority’s appraisal guidance.
Ask the salesperson to explain the differences, not just show a list of addresses. A renovated home on a similar street may have a different ownership type, floor area, site, parking or condition. A nearby sale can be useful evidence without being a direct match. Where few similar properties have sold, discuss the wider evidence used, how old it is and which uncertainties affect the range. This gives you a better basis for comparing advice than choosing the highest estimate alone.
You do not need to renovate before asking for advice. Our preparation checklist can help you decide what is worthwhile.
The appraisal is complimentary and does not commit you to an agency agreement. If you choose to sell, ask for a written explanation of commission, GST, marketing charges and any auction or other agreed expenses. Check what is included, what you pay if the property does not sell, and when each payment is due. Legal fees, moving costs and lending arrangements may also affect your plans.
Have your lawyer check the agency agreement, including its term, cancellation provisions and any obligations to a previous agent, before signing. Read our sale-method guide for the main choices.
