COVERAGE

National coverage, and the state rules that actually differ.

RPV covers all eight Australian capital cities and the major regional centres. Coverage in each state is provided by a valuer registered or certified to practise in that jurisdiction, because the rules are not national: Queensland and Western Australia restrict valuation work to statutorily registered valuers, each state has its own valuing authority and revenue office, and objection windows run from a different trigger event in every jurisdiction. The valuer covering your property is named before you instruct.

WHAT CHANGES BY STATE

The same house, eight different sets of rules.

Objection windows and evidence requirements are set out with their primary sources in the knowledge hub. Always check the closing date printed on your own notice — it governs, not a general rule.

REGIONAL

Regional and remote, answered honestly.

We cover the major regional centres in every state. Beyond those, the answer depends on the property and the distance, and you will get it before you instruct rather than after.

Two things genuinely change outside the metropolitan markets: comparable sales are thinner, so the analysis takes longer and the report has to explain more; and travel has to be agreed in advance. Both are reflected in the fixed fee, and neither appears as a variation afterwards.

If we can attend, we will say so

With a date and a fee. Remote properties are quoted with travel agreed up front.

If we can't, we will tell you that too

Rather than sending a valuer who does not know the market. A report from someone unfamiliar with a thin regional market is a liability, not a saving.

The state rules still apply

A regional property is governed by its state's revenue authority and objection window, not by its distance from the capital. The table above is what matters.

MAJOR REGIONAL CENTRES

Twelve centres we attend regularly.

Each sits under its state's rules, not its distance from a capital. The note against each is the thing that most often changes the work.
