Retrospective Valuation
In most situations, a property valuation report is conducted at current market value with the most recent comparable sales and market trends being analysed to determine the fair market value as at the date of valuation. However, it is not uncommon for a client to require a property valuation report for a date since passed. This is known as a retrospective property valuation report.
A Retrospective valuation can also be referred to as a back-dated or historical valuation and refers to the method of determining an asset’s value at a certain point in time.
Properties cannot (unfortunately!) be valued in the future as no one has a crystal ball to know what the market will do, however, we most certainly can value at a point in the past. Valuers form a view of how the property existed in that time, and compare it to other similar sales of properties from around the area at the same time. This is called the Direct Comparison Approach and is a common valuation methodology.
Common uses for a retrospective valuation report are:
- Taxation such as setting the cost base for Capital Gains Tax
- Deceased Estates
- Property Settlement and Family Law Court
Independent property valuers strive to find the “fair market value” of an asset without bias. It is the fair amount a buyer and a seller would accept and offer for a property in an open market. Often when it comes to buying a property, the listed price is not an indication of a fair price. This is because the listed price tends to consider where the property market is headed and what price could be achieved in the near future.
