Propell National Valuers CEO Bart Mead sheds light on the top 10 factors that affected
property valuations in 2011.
1. Market Trends
The rising or falling of the market and the time the property has been on the market.
2. Similarity of properties
Valuers can draw on a history of local demand enabling easier assessment value.
3. The number of other properties on the market at the same time
When properties that are more comparable are available, the lowest price usually sells
first.
4. The strength of the competition
A property valuation must reflect the competing current market.
5. Unusual features
These can add value, or may detract value if not attractive to others.
6. Pricing
If the property is typical of what sells in that suburb, it is likely to experience good
demand and will sell.
7. Presentation
Maintenance, garden care, suitability and cleanliness all contribute to the value of the
property.

8. Location issues
Location factors such as bus stops, neighbouring housing and access to city roads can
impact on value.
9. Asking prices versus sale prices
Many vendors judge value on the sale prices advertised, but there is often a gap
between asking prices and actual sale prices achieved.
10. Renovation Potential
Depending on the property type and location, such capacity may be sought after or not.
Someone wanting to demolish and rebuild will not pay extra for renovations to the
existing building.
