The land valuation involves inspecting the property, ascertaining legal ownership and the interest held and gathering relevant information such as the prices similar properties sell for.
Other factors come into the valuation, such as the saleability of the property or its value for mortgage purposes. Land valuers provide valuations of many different types of real property such as residential, commercial, industrial, rural and horticultural properties.
Land valuer licences are valid for three years from the date of first grant or last renewal.
Unlicensed trading
Unlicensed land valuers who falsely claim to be, or imply they are, a licensed valuer, or demand or receive payment as a valuer are liable for a $100,000 penalty.
