Free value check · Victoria

Give us the notice. We will say if the land is overvalued.

Free property check

Site value is meant to describe bare ground. Headline sales often still include buildings, permits, leases, GST and long settlements. We strip those out before anyone argues the number.

No win. No fee.

Save up to 50% of your land tax.

Uses Victoria's general land tax rates for 2024 to 2033 and assumes this is your only taxable land. Land tax is charged on the combined value of everything you own, so on a larger holding each dollar of reduction usually saves more. Illustrative only.

What we look for

The extras a sale price carries.

If nearby sales were not brought back to bare land, the assessment can tax value the site does not have.

IMPROVEMENTS

Buildings and works

Warehouses, hardstand and services lift a sale price. They are not land.

PERMITS

A permit already in hand

Time and risk the buyer did not have to spend. It can be a large part of the price.

30 to 45%
INCOME

A lease in place

Rent after settlement covers holding costs, and that income sits inside the price.

TERMS

GST and settlement

A long settlement is worth money against cash. Headline prices often include GST.
