A property valuer fully inspects the interior and exterior of all improvements, taking detailed notes of construction materials, fixtures and fittings and property condition. They measure and calculate the floor area of all the improvements. In additional to the detailed inspection of the property, a full analysis of the market conditions and range of comparable sales is completed. Depending on the type of valuation, the Valuer will use appropriate valuation methodologies to analyse the subject property.
After analysing the above information, the valuer provides a detailed written report to the client identifying the property’s assessed market value the requirements of IVS, IFRS, NZIV & PINZ reporting standards, practice standards and guidance notes.

Rating Valuations (RVs) are compiled by statute, under the Rating Valuations Act 1998, mainly as a uniform basis for levying local authority and regional council rates.
The Rating Valuation is assessed using mass appraisal techniques and not all properties are fully inspected by a Registered Valuer.
A Council Rating Value is undertaken by local councils to establish property values in order to determine council rates. Most councils in New Zealand reassess property values every three years, so a rating value is only an accurate measure of a property’s value at the date of the last revaluation. Not all properties are fully inspected by a Registered Valuer.
A Registered valuer is a trained and qualified professional who will provide an independent report on the property. The valuer has no financial interest in the property.
