Rural Valuation Services:

MJM Valuer's has had a long association with the rural and lifestyle sector of the Yarra Valley, starting in the early 1990’s. This sector of the property market requires experienced property experts to accurately analysis the markets characteristics and drivers, it is erroneous to apply residential market drivers to this sector, yet it is a common mistake leading to unrealistic values or market interpretation. Our experience is that the rural and lifestyle sector of the Yarra Valley can be broken down on location with buyers coming from different localities for each area of the Valley.

Our Rural valuation services are commonly sought to solve Capital Gains Tax problems, many rural and lifestyle property owners are not aware that Capital Gains Tax applies to the area of land in excess of 2 hectares (5 Acres), so long as it was purchased after 1985, regardless of whether it is your primary place of residence, government bodies will not accept the opinions of real estate agents, so MJM Valuer's are engaged to give an expert opinion as to the value of the property at both purchase and sale dates. Some owners simple deduct the purchase price from the sale price and calculate the CGT on the difference, there by losing thousands of dollars in tax. An MJM Valuation will correctly and accurately proportion values across the different property components allowing more accurate taxation calculations and saving owners tens of thousands of dollars in tax, which pays for the valuation many times over.

Many owners hold rural and lifestyle properties in company, family trust, multiple parties and superannuation trusts, these ownership vehicles require a cycle of valuation every 3 years, it makes sense to engage a valuer who thoroughly understands this market sector, such as MJM Valuer's, and to continue to use MJM Valuer's in subsequent years, saving time and money through the efficiencies gained in the inspection and report writing phases of the valuation task.

A valuation prepared by MJM Valuer's can help you make informed decisions that could save you precious money as well as time, when it comes to dealing with Rural, Lifestyle and Hobby Farm properties.
