Compliance valuations for SMSF trustees, accountants and auditors. Independent of the instructing professional. Audit-ready. Aligned with the ATO valuation guidelines for self-managed super funds.
SMSF property valuations sit at the intersection of three pressures: SIS Regulation 8.02B requiring market-value reporting, ATO scrutiny on objective evidence, and SMSF auditors increasingly insisting on independent Certified Practising Valuer reports rather than agent appraisals or trustee estimates. The administrative cost of meeting that bar — phoning valuers, comparing fees, managing turnaround — has historically fallen on accountants and trustees.
Valuers4U routes the brief to three Certified Practising Valuers in the property's local market. Each returns a fee, a turnaround commitment and a written conflict-of-interest disclosure inside 48 hours. The trustee (or the instructing accountant) appoints. The CPV engages the SMSF directly under the valuer's own letter of engagement.
Property, fund name, valuation date, report purpose (annual compliance / acquisition / pension event / contribution cap), report format (short-form CPV or full long-form).
Three panel members in the property's local market each return a fee, a turnaround commitment and a written conflict-of-interest disclosure for the fund and trustee.
Compare and appoint. The valuer engages the SMSF directly under their own letter of engagement and prepares the compliance valuation. Both report and procurement record go to the auditor.
SIS Regulation 8.02B requires SMSF assets to be reported at market value in the fund's annual financial statements. The ATO accepts that for residential and most commercial property an external CPV is not strictly required every year — but auditors increasingly require independent CPV evidence, and an independent valuation is mandatory at acquisition, on member-balance events, and when in-house asset, contribution-cap or pension-pay rules turn on the value.
SMSF residential compliance valuations typically quote between $660 and $1,320 (GST-inclusive), depending on locality and report format. Commercial SMSF valuations generally quote between $1,320 and $3,300. Three independent quotes inside 48 hours set the price by the market.
Yes. The valuation is prepared by a Certified Practising Valuer accredited by the Australian Property Institute, holding current professional indemnity insurance, and engaged directly by the fund trustees under the valuer's own letter of engagement.
The ATO publishes 'Valuation guidelines for self-managed super funds', which require market-value evidence based on objective and supportable data. For property, the most defensible evidence is a written valuation by a qualified independent valuer using a recognised valuation methodology.
Yes. Each panel CPV is independent of the instructing accountant, auditor and trustee, and provides a written conflict-of-interest disclosure. Valuers4U pays no rebate or referral fee to the instructing professional.
No. Valuers4U pays no rebate, kickback or referral fee to instructing professionals or their firms. Under APES 110 this means the SMSF accountant has no disclosable conflict and no need to obtain client consent for any referral benefit — because none exists.
Sixty seconds to lodge. Three Certified Practising Valuers competing inside forty-eight hours. A documented procurement record for the audit file. No fee to your firm or to the trustee at any stage.
