YouTube Video VVVncVdsa29iWk5HZF85TDJOMWVhV1BnLlhTYWdMaFRqMlFr

A property valuation is a detailed report of a property’s market value. This is defined by the International Valuation Standards Council as the estimated sale price “between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

In today’s video, we’re going to chat about the difference between a desktop valuation, a kerbside valuation and a market assessment valuation.

All three of these property valuations have the potential to help you save dollars on your property investment, so make sure you watch until the end.

Okay, let’s jump straight to it!
