Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Valuation?
A valuation is a process of determining the historical, current, or projected worth of an Asset. An asset could be a company (either a trust, business, or sole trader), a property (either commercial or residential property), or a tangible asset that includes motor vehicles, marine vessels, yellow goods, goods & chattels.
What is a Valuation Report?
A Valuation Report is a legal document containing values and calculations of the value of an asset, as listed in “What is a Valuation”. This is carried out by a Professional Registered Valuer.

How does a Desktop or E-Valuation Work?
A Desktop Valuation is a report where the client sends through photographs and the necessary information pertaining to the Asset(s), via email. This is also known as either a “sight unseen valuation” or an “E-Valuation”. The Valuer does not complete a site inspection of the assets and relies upon the client to provide this information. During the current environment of COVID-19, Desktop Valuations are becoming popular as the pandemic has leaned towards “Zoom” as the new way of meeting. A Desktop Valuation can also be performed via “Zoom” or a similar platform but does not eliminate the fact that clients can send through the necessary documentation.

These types of valuation’s are slightly cheaper as travel and inspection time are not allocated. As an indication, a Truck Valuation would cost in the Region of $350 plus GST. A Desktop Truck Valuation would cost $300 plus GST.
How Much does a valuation cost?
Given the nature of Valuations, is difficult to determine how much it costs. As Asset Valuations Group offers all valuations, a breakdown below will outline the basic costings of different types of valuations.

Business Valuation: Our Business Valuations starts at $2,000 plus GST. I wish to point out that this is a simple Business Valuation without any assets. Obtaining a multiple in this instance is easy.

Property Valuations: Our Residential Property Valuations start at $400 plus GST. This does not include a fee to complete a Commercial Valuation or a Specialised Property Valuation.

Single Valuation of Asset (Motor Vehicle): These types of Valuations start at $250 plus GST. Should the asset be specialised, or should they come in quantity, the price will change accordingly. Furthermore, prices also change to suit the urgency.

Each Valuation is different and requires a tailored approach. Our service is professional, quality, and trusted.
Can valuations help with applying for finance?
An individual can use the following types of valuations for finance purposes:
- Business Valuation: Should an individual seek a Business Valuation for Finance; a valuer is engaged to value the specified business for that purpose. The most common methodology utilised for Business Valuation for finance purposes is The Capitalisation of Future Maintainable Earnings. The bank or financier will lend against the business valuation for this purpose.
- Property Valuation: Should an individual seek a Property Valuation for Finance, a valuer is engaged to value the specified property, properties, or commercial properties per the request. The most common type of valuation for finance purposes is property valuation. The bank or lender will lend against the value of the property, should there be enough equity, for finance purposes.
- Asset Valuation: Should an individual purchase an asset such as a truck or motor vehicle for finance purposes, the valuer will value the asset at Market Value. The bank or lender will lend against the value of the truck or motor vehicle. As an example, should the truck or vehicle be worth $50,000, the bank or lender may not necessarily lend that exact amount. It’s common that the bank or lender will allow the purchaser to borrow a percentage of $50,000.
Banks and lenders always require surety when loaning money. Asset Valuations Group provides all valuations for finance purposes.
Can valuations help for tax purposes?
Valuations may help with tax purposes. The most common basis of value utilised for tax purposes is market value. Market Value determines the use of the asset and the amount a willing buyer and seller would agree to (a value) at an arm’s length transaction. All valuations are required to be independent and unbiased. It is within our understanding that valuations for tax purposes are required for the following purposes:
- Taxpayers transfer property or shares between related parties.
- Employees of a business receiving shares under the employee share scheme.
- Small businesses in Australia meeting the threshold for assets for capital gains tax concessions.
- In most instances, property developers apply the GST margin scheme.
- Small, medium or large businesses that consolidate for tax income purposes.
Asset Valuations Group are engaged regularly for valuations for Tax Purposes throughout Australia. Contact us today to find out how we can be of service.
Why do I need a valuation?
An individual or business requires valuations for the following purposes but not limited to lending, refinancing, lease & buyback, insolvency, tax, insurance, salvage estimates, auction values, superannuation, concessions. A valuation determines the market value of an asset. Contact Asset Valuations Group today for a valuation.
Do Valuations Require a Site Inspection?
Most valuations require an inspection unless otherwise agreed upon by the client that a desktop valuation is required. When it comes to property valuations, a site inspection is mandatory.
How is Goodwill Calculated?
The traditional way to calculate goodwill is Business Value less the value of the assets. For example, a business value came in at $1,000,000 and the total value of the business assets are $300,000. Therefore the value of Goodwill is $700,000.

  Very happy with the valuation service provided.  The pre-accident valuation provided by Paul helped me argue for a better market value payout from my insurer.  Paul was available and very helpful through out the process.  Highly recommend.

  I recently had the pleasure of working with Asset Valuations Group for the valuation of my vintage car, and I couldn't be more impressed with their services. What stood out the most was the meticulous detail in their report, showcasing an in-depth analysis and research that greatly added value to the entire process.

The inclusion of comprehensive background information on similar cars not only demonstrated their commitment to precision but also provided valuable insights into the market dynamics. The report was not just a set of numbers but a well-rounded document that showcased a profound understanding of the vintage car market.

Moreover, the addition of high-quality pictures of my car added a personal touch to the valuation, making the entire experience more engaging and transparent. The team's adherence to Australian superannuation rules further underscored their professionalism and commitment to delivering a service that aligns with regulatory standards.

I highly recommend Asset Valuations Group for anyone seeking a thorough and professional valuation service. Their attention to detail, research capabilities, and compliance with regulations make them a top choice in the industry.
