Want to know how much your home’s worth?
AI summary
A registered valuation provides an accurate, impartial assessment of your property's worth. Valuers must be certified members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers.
Find a valuer by checking the official list, seeking recommendations from professionals like agents or lawyers, and reviewing their experience. Costs average around $800+ GST but vary based on property size, location, and complexity.
Valuations are essential for sellers setting a price, buyers making an offer, and securing bank finance, especially for first-home buyers or construction loans.
