Frequently Asked Questions

What information do you need for a rural valuation?

Helpful information includes property maps, water licences and entitlement details, production and stocking history, and any leases or agistment agreements. Your valuer will also inspect the property, including its improvements, fencing, and water infrastructure.

How much does a rural valuation cost, and how long does it take?

Rural valuations are individually quoted, because the fee and timing depend on the property's size, location, and enterprise type, and on the purpose of the valuation. Request a quote with the property details and what you need the valuation for, and we'll confirm both.

How do commodity prices affect rural property values?

Over time, yes. Short-term price swings mainly affect a farm's cash flow. When prices shift for several seasons, such as a sustained change in beef or grain prices, the change in profitability flows through to what buyers will pay for the land.

How can a valuation help with farm succession planning?

A valuation gives every family member the same independent starting point. It sets the market value of the land, water, and improvements at an agreed date, so the property can be divided or transferred fairly. It can also support related tax and legal requirements.
