The CGT property valuation is used for tax calculations when a property is sold.\u00a0 The most common reason for a property valuation for capital gains tax (CGT) is a change in occupancy. Your main residence is generally exempt from CGT but if you\u2019ve rented or used your home for business then your accountant will likely advise that a property valuation is needed.<\/p>\n
Some situations as examples:<\/p>\n
When a property is changing to a principal place of residence (PPO) after being rented out for a number of years a valuation is required.\u00a0 When owners decide it\u2019s time to move back into their rental home a market valuation of the asset is required.<\/p>\n
When a property has been owner occupied for a number of years and the owners have now decided to move elsewhere, but they still want to retain the property and rent it out to tenants, it becomes an investment property.\u00a0 In this situation a valuation is required for the date when the property is no longer a principal place of residence (PPO).<\/p>\n
We also have situations where owners have sold their house six months ago and their accountant has just said you need a retrospective valuation because the home was tenanted for 3 years before they sold it and they didn\u2019t get a valuation done when tenants moved in.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s much better to find out the property value at the time that the property is no longer your principal place of residence.\u00a0 Easier to do it then than it is to do a retrospective house valuation because the retrospective is a bit more involved and can therefore cost more.<\/p>\n
Its easy to arrange a property valuation and we can deal directly with your new property manager.\u00a0 Or if your property is self-managed we can liaise with your tenants directly.<\/p>\n
If you are living overseas and need a valuation we can arrange that by dealing with your property manager direct.<\/p>\n
