A CGT event needs the property's market value on one specific date. We assess a Brighton property as at that date, today or years back, and a certified practising valuer signs it.
Several dates in the property's history? Your accountant nominates the one the return needs and we prepare the figure to it.
A Brighton property that moves between relatives, or into or out of a trust, has a date on it and nothing else. What the return needs is a market value at that date, and it has to be established rather than looked up, because no sale ever happened.
A Brighton home the owners lived in before letting it out has its cost base set on the very first day of letting, and that day rarely coincides with anything else on the record.
Beneficiaries generally need market value at the date of death, which is another day on which nothing was bought or sold. Backdated work is ordinary here and the price is the same however far back the date sits.

Market value is set on the day you name, from Brighton sales that had genuinely settled by then rather than from anything asking.
We email your report the moment it's ready, no chasing required.
It establishes the market value of the property at a specified capital gains tax event date. The signed report documents the evidence and methodology so your accountant can use the figure when applying the relevant CGT rules.
Use the date relevant to your CGT event, not automatically today's date or settlement date. It may be a contract date, date of death, first income-producing use or another date identified by your accountant or tax adviser.
Yes. The valuer reconstructs market conditions at the nominated historical date using sales and information available for that period. Older or unusual dates can require more research, so provide the date and any historical property information you hold.
A market value at the first income-producing date can be important where the home first used to produce income rule applies. Eligibility depends on your ownership and use history, so confirm the rule and valuation date with your accountant before ordering.
The relevant cost base treatment can depend on when the deceased acquired the property, how it was used and what happened after death. Date of death is common, but your accountant or estate adviser should identify the required valuation date for your circumstances.
Yes, a CGT valuation can establish market value where parties are not dealing at arm's length or no normal sale price exists. The valuation does not determine the tax outcome by itself, so obtain advice on the event and any available rollover or exemption.
The report records the subject property, valuation date, basis of value, methodology, comparable market evidence and the valuer's signed conclusion. This creates a supportable evidence trail, while the ATO retains the ability to review any valuation.
Many residential CGT valuations can be completed as desktop reports, particularly for historical dates. If the property is unusual, evidence is limited or the condition at the relevant date is disputed, the valuer may recommend more information or an inspected report.
No. It provides the market value component requested in the valuation instruction. Your accountant combines that figure with eligible acquisition, ownership, improvement and disposal costs and applies the tax rules to calculate the final gain or loss.
Provide the exact date, ownership details and any historical plans, photos, leases, renovation records or descriptions of the property's condition. This helps the valuer distinguish what existed at the event date from changes made later.
One fixed price, whether the date is last month or a long way back.
