About this template

Every AIQV report is generated by the AIQV report engine from this template as a locked PDF. A report cannot be finalised unless every mandatory section is complete, including the valuer’s professional commentary. The structure reflects the ATO’s minimum expected report content and the IVS requirements for scope of work and disclosure of restrictions.

Pre-approved disclaimers and assumptions

Purpose and reliance

This Desktop Valuation Assessment has been prepared solely for the taxation purpose stated in Section 1, for the client named and their tax adviser, and may be provided to the Australian Taxation Office. It must not be used or relied upon for any other purpose, including mortgage lending or security, banking panels, litigation, family law proceedings, insurance or compulsory acquisition, or by any other person. No responsibility is accepted for any other use or to any other person.

Restricted scope — no physical inspection

The valuer has not inspected the property. This assessment has been prepared on a desktop basis using recorded sales evidence, property and planning data, aerial, satellite and street-level imagery dated as shown in the Evidence Appendix, and information supplied by the client. A desktop assessment is subject to a greater degree of uncertainty than a valuation made following a full inspection, and the value may differ from that which would be reported following an inspection.

Condition and improvements

It is assumed that the improvements are of the type, size and configuration identified in the records and imagery reviewed, are in a condition consistent with that evidence and with comparable properties, have all necessary approvals, and that there are no structural defects, contamination, pest damage, unapproved works or other matters not evident from those sources. If any of these assumptions is incorrect, the value may be affected and this assessment should not be relied upon until reviewed by the valuer.

Title and encumbrances

Unless stated otherwise, it is assumed that the property is held in fee simple, free of encumbrances, easements, leases or restrictions that would materially affect value, other than those identified in the title search and planning information reviewed.

Use of quantitative tools

Comparable sales were identified and analysed with the assistance of the AIQV quantitative platform. All evidence, weightings and adjustments have been reviewed by the valuer, and the opinion of value expressed is the valuer’s own professional opinion. The comparables considered, adjustments made and the valuer’s reasons are recorded in the Evidence Appendix.

Valuation date and market movement

The value is assessed as at the valuation date stated. Where the valuation is retrospective, it is based on evidence available about the market at that date. Values may change over time and this assessment should not be relied upon for any other date.

Liability

Limitation of liability wording as approved under the applicable professional standards scheme, if any. Nothing in this report excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Valuer declarations

I certify that: (a) I hold current registration as a valuer in Queensland and current AIQV certification; (b) I have no pecuniary interest or conflict that could reasonably be regarded as affecting my ability to give an unbiased opinion; (c) the fee is not contingent on the value reported; (d) I have personally reviewed the evidence and adjustments recorded in the Evidence Appendix; (e) the opinion of value is my own; and (f) this assessment has been prepared in accordance with the AIQV Standard and, to the extent applicable to a restricted-scope desktop assessment, the International Valuation Standards.
