About This Service
What Is Pre-Sale Property Valuation?
A pre-sale valuation is an independent assessment of a property's market value prepared before listing for sale. Sellers commission a pre-sale valuation to set a realistic and defensible asking price, to benchmark the agent appraisals they receive against an unbiased professional opinion, and to enter negotiations with buyers from a position of factual confidence rather than agent guidance alone.
Real estate agents quote a price they believe will win the listing — sometimes inflated to flatter the seller, sometimes deflated to ensure a quick sale and commission. Neither approach serves the seller's interests. A RICS-certified pre-sale valuation provides an objective, methodologically sound figure that reflects current market evidence: recent comparable sales, prevailing yields, days on market, and any property-specific factors that materially affect value. This figure becomes the seller's reference point throughout the marketing campaign.
Landmark Valuations prepares pre-sale reports for all residential, commercial, and rural property types across Australia. Each report includes the certified market value, a detailed sales evidence appendix, an analysis of recent market trends in the immediate area, and recommendations on the optimal price guide range. The report is prepared to RICS Red Book Global 2025 standards and remains useful long after the sale — as evidence of value if a settlement dispute arises, for capital gains tax calculations, or as a baseline for tracking portfolio performance.
