What is a Property Valuation?
A property valuation estimates how much a property might sell for in the current market. It uses recent sales data, local property trends, and specific property features to estimate a likely value.
Whether you're preparing to sell, buy, or just keeping tabs on your own home, it's a useful way to make more informed decisions.

Council Valuations
For many properties, we also show the CV (Capital Value) information from local councils. CVs are typically updated every 3 years and are based on broad market trends and property attributes at the time of the assessment. Councils use these valuations to calculate what share of rates a homeowner needs to pay.
Unlike the HomesEstimate, which updates regularly using recent sales data and local trends, CVs are less responsive to short-term market changes, so they’re best used as a general benchmark rather than a current market valuation.
CV data can be useful when comparing properties in the same area or assessing changes over time alongside other tools like HomesEstimate.
