Guide to Fees

The procedure involved in carrying out a typical residential valuation involves:

• receiving instructions and establishing the purpose of the valuation
• obtaining a Title search
• checking the Town Planning and zoning controls
• checking the location
• carrying out appropriate sales research
• inspecting the property
• noting construction
• quality of fit-out
• condition
• measuring and calculating floor areas
• inspecting and making comparisons with sales of other properties
• assessing the valuation
• preparing a written report

Report formats are in accordance with the institute regulations and as preferred by banks and other lending institutions.

Fees are charged on a time and expenses basis. In general, larger more expensive houses incur a higher fee. A discount normally applies for a referral or an update of a previous valuation carried out by Lyons & Co Valuers Limited.
