Rural valuation Land, improvements and water, added up and checked.
A rural report values a farm or rural holding after a full inspection, on a rate per hectare from comparable rural sales. Valufield drafts it from its own template and checks the land areas, water and exclusions.
The whole holding, less the stock.
The report is a current-date market value for a private purpose.
What it values
The land, the fixed improvements and the water entitlements together. It excludes livestock, crops, plant, machinery and chattels.
Who instructs it
Owners, buyers and sellers, and families planning succession or a family arrangement outside court. General advice to the owner also fits.
Where it stops
Not for lending, a court or tribunal, family law, tax or duty, an SMSF, a deceased estate or a past date. A rural lot bought for its dwelling belongs on the residential type.
The land, class by class.
The template follows the shape of a rural job, from access and land to water and fencing.
Confirm the rural facts
The valuer confirms lots, area, land classes and their areas, carrying capacity, rainfall, water licences and the fencing, dams and bores. Those facts fill the template.
Wording, not the value
AI may suggest wording for descriptive sections, and the valuer accepts, edits or discards each. The value, the rate per hectare and the summation check are the valuer’s alone.
Water and vegetation law
The state water register and native vegetation passages stay open for every state until a valuer fills them in. The checker blocks an open field.
Seven checks, and a reviewer for one more.
BLOCK means fix it before release, and WARN means look and decide.
Hectares and water
The land area must be in hectares, and the report must say what water entitlements are included, or that there are none. Either missing is a BLOCK.
Exclusions and carrying capacity
A WARN if the report does not say livestock and the other excluded items are out, or does not give carrying capacity and its basis. The same applies to the summation check and to seasonal conditions.
Land classes add up
Whether the land class areas add up to the total area is left to the peer reviewer, because the checker cannot test it.
Peer review, then release
A second valuer reviews the recorded file. Release is a separate gated step, and it never emails the client.
Straight answers.
Does it value livestock, crops or machinery?
No. The report excludes them, and the checker warns if it does not say so.
Which states does the water section cover?
The template is NSW-first. The water register and native vegetation passages are open for every state until your principal settles them, so a valuer must fill them in.
Is the rural template approved by anyone?
No. It is a draft until your principal signs it off, and a starting point only. Land areas, land classes and carrying capacity remain the valuer’s own estimates.
