The timeframe for a property valuation in Australia can vary based on the property’s location, type, and the complexity of the report required. Most standard residential property valuations are completed within two to five business days from the initial inspection. The inspection itself typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, covering both internal and external features. After the visit, valuers review recent comparable sales, local market data, and the property’s characteristics to prepare a detailed report. If the property is remote, unique, or there is limited access, the process may take longer.
Short-form reports for general purposes like pre-purchase or refinancing are usually delivered within a few days, providing a market-based snapshot. More detailed long-form reports—often needed for family law or legal proceedings—require further analysis and documentation, extending turnaround to one or two weeks. Commercial, industrial, and rural property valuations may also take longer due to their complexity and the volume of information that must be assessed.
Several factors influence timing: the availability of the valuer, ease of arranging access, the condition and size of the property, and whether extensive research is required. Efficient organisations like Asset Valuations Group use the latest market data and digital tools to provide swift, reliable turnaround for both residential and commercial valuations.
If urgent results are required, it’s best to communicate this at the start so prioritisation or expedited services can be arranged. For most residential clients in Brisbane and beyond, expect a report within a week—sometimes sooner—ensuring you can make well-informed decisions at every stage of your property transaction.
