The detail

What a proper appraisal looks at.

An appraisal is only as good as the evidence behind it. Here is how we arrive at a figure and why two appraisals for the same property can be hundreds of dollars apart.

Evidence first

We start with what comparable properties have actually leased for in your building and immediate pocket in the last 60 to 90 days, not what is being advertised. Asking rents tell you what owners hope for. Leased results tell you what tenants pay. We then adjust for the things that move rent in your property's favour or against it: aspect, outlook, condition, parking, storage, outdoor space and the quality of the building itself.

Timing and strategy matter as much as the number

The same apartment can achieve different results depending on when it hits the market and how it is presented. Listing into a quiet week between holiday periods, using dim photography or pricing $20 too high for the search bracket all cost real money. A good appraisal comes with a strategy: the right asking rent, the right launch timing and the presentation work worth doing before photos.

Beware the flattering appraisal

Some agencies quote high to win the management, then walk the rent down once the property sits. The cost of that approach is weeks of vacancy at the start of the tenancy, which no fee saving ever recovers. We would rather give you a number we can defend with evidence and then beat it when the market allows.

Our record

8 days to lease

Our managed properties lease in a median of 8 days against a wider Sydney market of 19. Pricing on evidence is a large part of why.

Our record

3x the enquiry

Our listings generate around three times the enquiry of the market average, which gives owners choice of tenant rather than hoping one applies.

Our record

4.9 star rating

Rated 4.9 stars on Google by the owners and tenants we work with. The appraisal is where most of those relationships started.

Common questions

What is the difference between an appraisal and a valuation?

An appraisal is a market estimate of the rent your property should achieve, prepared by an agent from comparable leasing evidence. It is free and carries no obligation. A valuation is a formal assessment of a property's capital value by a registered valuer, usually for lending purposes, and is paid for. For setting rent, an appraisal is what you need.

What information do you need from me?

The form above covers the essentials: address, property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking and whether it is currently tenanted. Photos help if you have them, and access for a quick inspection produces the most accurate figure, but we can give a firm indicative range from the details alone.

Does it cost anything or commit me to anything?

No. The appraisal is free and there is no obligation to manage your property with us afterwards. It is how we start most conversations with owners, and we are comfortable being judged on the quality of it.

My property is currently tenanted. Can you still appraise it?

Yes. A tenanted property can be appraised from its details and current condition reports, and if an inspection helps we arrange access with proper notice under the tenancy agreement. An appraisal is also the right starting point for a rent review at the next renewal.

How accurate will it be without an inspection?

Usually within a tight range. Leasing evidence in a specific building or pocket is a strong predictor. An inspection refines the figure by picking up condition and presentation factors that photos miss, which is why we always offer one before the property goes to market.
