The report to get before you exchange on a purchase or set an asking price: a full certified valuation with a physical site inspection, comprehensive written report and registered valuer sign-off, valid for 90 days. A valuer walks the property and verifies it first-hand — which is what makes it more than our desktop signed reports.
A certified property valuation is our most thorough report, prepared to full professional standards and backed by a physical site inspection. It's the one to order before you exchange on a purchase or put a price on a sale — when the number you act on has to be right rather than roughly right.
Every certified valuation includes a physical site inspection, a comprehensive written report and a registered valuer's sign-off, valid for 90 days. Beyond buying and selling, it's also the right call for complex, unique or high-value property that records and sales data alone can't capture, and for supporting an insurance declaration.

“I ordered the certified valuation before making a bid on an apartment. It came in $40k below asking price, so I renegotiated and saved the difference.”
“Our home had been heavily renovated and no online estimate came close. The valuer inspected it and the report finally reflected what we had actually built.”
“I ordered a pre-sale certified valuation to set an honest baseline before meeting agents. The best decision I made — I priced with total confidence.”

No. Property Valuations Boxhill doesn't prepare valuations for lending, mortgage or refinancing purposes. Banks order those through their own panel of valuers, so a report from us wouldn't be used for that, whichever type you chose. A certified valuation is for the situations where you need an independent, inspection-backed figure of your own: buying, selling, insurance, complex or high-value properties, and keeping an evidenced value on file. If a lender has asked you for a valuation, that request goes back to them or your broker.
Certified valuations are usually treated as current for 90 days from the inspection date, consistent with standard practice — beyond that window, markets are assumed to have potentially moved and the figure loses its standing. If your matter is likely to run longer, time the valuation so the report is still fresh when it's actually relied on, or talk to us about updating an existing report.
A certified valuation requires a physical site inspection and typically takes 3–5 business days from when we assign your valuer to delivery of the signed report. The timeline covers scheduling the inspection — usually the longest step, since access has to be arranged with the occupant — the inspection itself, and preparation of the full report with comparable sales analysis. Remote properties can add time for travel and scheduling; if your deadline is tight, mention it when ordering so it's factored into the assignment.
Certified valuation fees depend on distance and scope — how far the valuer travels to inspect, and how complex the property is to assess. A standard suburban home sits at the lower end of the range; rural acreage, unusual properties and complex holdings take more inspection and reporting time. An Order Adviser confirms the final price before you pre-pay, so nothing is a surprise — you'll never be invoiced for more after the fact.
Yes. We have registered valuers across all Australian states and territories, including regional and rural areas — your job is assigned to a valuer local to the property, with genuine knowledge of that market. Remote locations may take slightly longer to inspect because of travel and scheduling, and distance is one of the factors in the fee, which is always confirmed upfront before you pay.
A Desktop valuation is prepared without attending the property — the valuer works from land records, market data and comparable sales, which keeps it fast and economical. A Certified Valuation with Inspection adds a physical site inspection by a registered valuer, who verifies the property's condition, improvements and features first-hand before signing the report. That first-hand verification is what makes it the most defensible option when the figure will be tested closely, or the property has features the records don't capture.
From $550 — an Order Adviser confirms the final price before you pre-pay.
