Thanks — we’ve received your request. We’ll email you shortly with the next steps and a personalised quote. If it doesn’t arrive within a business day, please check your spam folder.

No payment is taken — we reply with a fixed quote for your property. By submitting you agree to be contacted about your request.

We use your details to prepare your quote, to contact you about it, and to arrange and deliver your valuation. If you engage us, we also create and keep a long-term record of the property's documents and condition as at 30 June 2027, so that you, your accountant, or a valuer you appoint can use it when the property is eventually sold. We keep property information after your personal details are removed, to improve our valuation reference data. We do not sell your personal information. Your details are handled by our email provider, Brevo, which stores data in the EU. See our Privacy Policy; you can ask us to delete your details at any time.

Our valuer panel is being built state by state, so a valuer may not yet be available for your property — we tell you before you proceed, not after.

Common questions
#

What is the CGT readiness checklist for?
It’s a quick self-check of whether you’re ready for the 1 July 2027 CGT cost-base reset — how you hold the property and whether to arrange a dated valuation. General information, not tax advice.
Who does the 1 July 2027 change affect?
Mainly owners of residential investment or income-producing property held as individuals, trusts or partnerships. SMSFs and companies sit outside the reform for property acquired on or after 20 September 1985 — pre-CGT property is caught whoever holds it. SMSFs also have a separate annual market-value obligation: see SIS Reg 8.02B explained.
Is the valuation ATO-acceptable?
The signed report is an independent valuation by a qualified valuer, prepared to be ATO-acceptable. Not “ATO-approved” — no such status exists.
Why value early rather than later?
A dated market value as at the end of 30 June 2027 — the point the law values your asset at, just before 1 July 2027 — is the cleanest evidence of your new cost base; reconstructing it after the fact is harder and costlier.
How much does it cost?
Value CGT pricing: on-site (full inspection) from $683 — the level to use for a figure the ATO may test. Desktop from $296, no inspection, for lower-stakes purposes.
What about property bought before 1985 (pre-CGT)?
Under the 2026 reform, now law (Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Act 2026), the blanket exemption for assets acquired before 20 September 1985 ends for gains after 1 July 2027 — those properties receive a deemed cost base equal to market value at the end of 30 June 2027 (unless you choose the Treasurer’s apportioning method, s 112-175(3)(b)), just before the reset takes effect, which makes dated valuation evidence especially important. Confirm treatment with your tax professional.
Do I need a property valuation before 1 July 2027?
A market value as at the end of 30 June 2027 can only be finalised once that date has passed, but working through the readiness checklist and registering early locks in the budget pathway before demand peaks. Register interest - no payment is taken now.
Is a valuation compulsory for the 1 July 2027 reset?
No — you can instead use the Treasurer’s free apportioning method (a formula that estimates the 1 July 2027 value by applying one constant compound growth rate across your whole ownership period, with ATO tools to come). A signed valuation earns its keep when the formula would understate your real 1 July 2027 value or when you want independently defensible evidence — see valuation vs the free formula and ask your accountant which fits.

General information only — not tax, financial or legal advice. Any indicative appraisal is automated and is not a certified or ATO-suitable valuation; the signed valuation is provided separately.
