Your property value may have changed. Has your expectation?
The closest sale is not always the best comparable. A qualified property valuer looks at factors such as sale date, location, land size, building area, condition, renovations and current market movement.
That matters because what you expect, what the market evidence supports and what a buyer ultimately pays can all be different.
Before you list, get a clearer picture of your property’s current market value with Duo Tax Property Valuers.

Think your property's value is the same as what it would cost to rebuild? They're not the same thing — and confusing the two can leave you underinsured.

In this video we break down what a construction cost estimate actually is, what goes into it (materials, labour, site works, professional fees, council approvals and more), and what makes the cost different from one property to the next.

With construction costs up more than 40% since 2020, last year's figures may no longer reflect what it would cost to build today.

Renovating before you sell? Valuers, and buyers, tend to look at the same two rooms first: the kitchen and the bathroom.

A modern, functional kitchen signals a property's been updated and well maintained. Bathrooms work the same way. If two similar homes go up for sale in the same area, the one with a renovated kitchen and modern bathrooms will usually attract stronger buyer interest.

That doesn't mean every renovation adds dollar for dollar value. But kitchens and bathrooms are often where improvements have the most noticeable impact on market appeal, because these are the rooms that shape the overall impression of a home.

Did you know a Council Contribution Levy can quietly add thousands of dollars to your construction project before you've even broken ground?

A Council Contribution Levy is a one off fee paid to your local council to help fund the extra infrastructure your development brings, think additional pathways and roadwork maintenance. It's not a fixed number either. It's calculated based on factors like your development type, for example going from a single dwelling to a duplex, and that's where a council cost report comes in.

If you're planning a knockdown rebuild, a new development, or even converting an open carport into a granny flat, understanding this levy early can make a real difference to your overall finances.

Get in touch with our team to find out what a council cost report means for your project.

A lot of investors miss out on thousands of dollars in deductions every year, simply because they never get a depreciation schedule.

Depreciation lets you claim the wear and tear on your property over time, the building itself plus the assets inside it, like light fixtures, blinds and appliances. Done properly, that can add up to thousands of dollars a year in deductions.

Most investors who skip it assume the property's too old, not worthwhile, or they've simply never been given the right advice to make the most of it.

The start of a new financial year is the perfect time to get this sorted. One small step now can have a long-term impact on your return.

Swipe through for exactly what's different: which properties are grandfathered, how the new build exemption works, where quarantined negative gearing losses can go, how the CGT discount is being replaced with indexation, the new minimum tax on capital gains, and what the 1 July 2027 transition means for your existing portfolio.🏡

Remember, every property and structure is different. Here at Duo Tax, we can provide ATO-compliant depreciation schedules and property valuations to help investors navigate these changes with confidence.

Ever walked into a property and thought "this is worth a fortune," only for the valuation to come back lower than expected? 😮

Property value can feel subjective. Two buyers might see the same home completely differently, and even a valuer walking through the door for the first time might seem to be forming an opinion on the spot.

In reality, professional property valuations aren't based on personal opinion. Valuers follow a structured process, weighing up specific factors that influence how a property compares with others in the market.

What is a commercial property valuation, really? 🤔 It's an independent assessment of market value, prepared by a Certified Practising Valuer. Lenders, the ATO, courts and buyers all rely on it to make major financial, tax and legal decisions.

Unlike a residential appraisal, a commercial property valuation weighs income, lease terms, tenant quality and zoning just as heavily as comparable sales. That's why two similar-looking properties can land on very different valuations.

Swipe through for the three valuation methods valuers actually use (Income Capitalisation, Direct Comparison and Cost Approach), what shapes a property's market value, and when a valuation is needed beyond just buying or selling. Think refinancing, Capital Gains Tax, SMSF compliance, lease reviews and redevelopment planning.

The 2026-27 financial year has just started, and that's the best time to get your property finances organised.

A lot of investors fall behind because they rely on memory instead of records. Once you've got a system in place, the real question becomes: do you know what you can actually claim?
Obvious costs like loan interest, property management fees, insurance and repairs are easy to spot. It's the ones that get overlooked - maintenance costs, ongoing ownership costs like council rates, and more complex deductions depending on how your property is structured, that investors miss.

Think of your deductions less like a checklist and more like a system. Miss the full picture, and it's easy to leave money on the table.

🏠 Property settlement is more than a date on the calendar; it's the day legal ownership of your new place actually transfers to you.
Whether you're buying your first home or growing your portfolio as a property investor, knowing what happens on and before settlement day can help your property purchase go smoothly.
Swipe through for what to check in your contract of sale, what to do before settlement, what can delay settlement, and what to remember when taking possession 👉
✅ Confirm your settlement date and finances are locked in
✅ Check your insurance, council rates and water rates are sorted
✅ Understand exactly how property ownership passes to you on an investment property (or your own home)
Every purchase is different, so always confirm the finer details with your solicitor or conveyancer.
📌 Save this for your next property purchase, and share it with someone about to go through settlement.
