There are no environmental issues that prevent the sale of the property.
The approach used to value this property is “sales comparison” approach i.e the sales of similar properties are compared and the valuation is decided. This method has been chosen because this method is extensively used while providing valuations of residential properties. (Abdul-Samad, 2017). The basis of valuation of property is the market value of a sale of a property that is most similar to the given property. However, the property used for sales comparison was sold in the past. The time lag has been accounted for by gaining data on the growth rate of property prices and accounting for that growth by way of compounded interest.
Further, the sales data of other similar properties sold in the last 18 months has been taken, in order to critically evaluate the valuation price. A range of the possible valuation options is also projected based on data available from secondary sources. The “market value” of the entire property has been taken on an arm’s length transaction basis. It is assumed that property is being valued for mortgage purposes as a housing establishment. Hence, taxes and transaction costs are not included in the valuation. These costs would be applicable only when the property would be for sale. The property valuation is based on market data as well as some generic data provided by Brisbane City Council (See Annexure 1)
The housing prices in Brisbane have grown since 2014. However, some studies estimate that the housing prices in Brisbane may experience a sharp drop. This may be due to the glut in the housing market as a number of housing projects that were in the pipeline are on the verge of completion. Thus, the supply is expected to be greater than the demand. (Reserve Bank of Australia, 2017) The statutory land valuation has shown the following growth since 2012. Generalizing these rates for the Nudgee – Bayonee suburb, it can be said that the price for a similar house has grown at the rate of 6 percent per annum.
