Retrospective property valuation involves assessing a property’s value at a specific point in the past, usually at the request of the property owner.
During this process, a valuer may physically inspect the property in the present but is tasked with determining its value as it stood on a designated date in the past.
When is a Retrospective Property Valuation Used?
A retrospective valuation finds common use in various scenarios, including:
- Capital Gain Tax (CGT) purposes, particularly for investment properties
- Resolving real estate property disputes
- Family law matters, particularly during separations
- Immigration cases
- Stamp duty assessments
This valuation is crucial for CGT liabilities as they depend on a property’s current market value and its appreciation over time. Determining a property’s retrospective value can be complex, especially with older and unique properties.
How do Adelaide Property Valuers Determine Retrospective Property Value?
The methodology for retrospective property valuation mirrors other property valuation methods. Initially, the value confirms details: the subject property, the valuation dates, and the property’s changes condition at that retrospective time. This involves gathering data on property changers from the retrospective date to the present.
After inspecting the subject property, the valuer collects data on similar property sales around the retrospective valuation date. Using this information, they evaluate the property’s retrospective market value. Factors such as property market trends, conditions during this period, and interest rates are considered during a property valuation. While finding the retrospective property value is challenging, it necessitates an experienced valuer and precise data for accurate results.
Key Factors considered include:
- Purchase year of the subject property
- Historical information from multiple sources
- Property price in the sale agreement
- Details of significant property changes
