JDMA Property Consulting and Valuations
You don’t need someone to tell you how big an investment property is – what you do need, is someone to advise if you are making a good investment in the right property. If buying, selling or renovating in Brisbane, consider enlisting the qualified and experienced services of JDMA Property Consulting and Valuations.
JDMA Property Consulting and Valuations provide independent property valuations and advice in the Greater Brisbane Area from Burpengary to the north (including Redcliffe), Beenleigh to the south, the bay to the east and Goodna to the west.
JDMA are committed to helping their clients make informed property decisions to maximise their investment in property. Whether investing in a rental property or purchasing a family home, an independent property valuation is an invaluable tool and can provide peace of mind that you have not paid too much for the property.
If you are a homebuyer, investor or you need a valuation for accounting or tax purposes, JDMA can assist you with:
- Pre-purchase and pre-sale advice.
- Assistance with setting a reserve price for an auction.
- Valuing deceased estates.
- Assisting with Capital Gains Tax and stamp duty obligations.
- Assisting with visa requirements for the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
- Superannuation funds.
- Investments.
When engaging JDMA you will receive a sworn property valuation report conducted by a Certified Practising Valuer, who is registered with the Valuer’s Registration Board of Queensland. These valuations are accepted as expert evidence in a court of law.
The service is inclusive, friendly and professional. Jonathan Millar, the Director of JDMA, says “The follow up service is paramount to the success of our business. Our clients not only receive a 10 page colour report, but also each valuer calls to discuss the figure and the rationale behind the valuation. We answer any questions so the client feels confident they are making the right decision”.
JDMA regularly conducts market research to ensure their fees are competitive in the market place. Fees start from $385.00 for a property that values under $500,000.
Engage a valuer BEFORE signing the contract!
It is typical to seek an independent valuation during the cooling off period, after the contract has been signed. However, changing your mind during the cooling off period can be costly. Jonathan Millar says “Most people are not aware when a contract of sale is cancelled during the cooling off period, the vendor has the right to charge a termination penalty of 0.25% of the purchase price. This is $1250 on a $500,000 property.” He suggests engaging a valuer before signing the contract or having your solicitor include a “subject to valuation” clause to protect against this termination penalty.
Quality is assured.
All JDMA valuers are Certified Practicing Valuers and Associates of the Australian Property Institute. All valuers:
- Participate in the Continuing Professional Development program attending industry recognised seminars, conferences and presentations.
- Have completed the risk management module developed by the Australian Property Industry.
- Adhere to the Australian Property Institute’s code of ethics.
- Work with up to date resources including extensive national sales databases, to ensure accurate and up to date information.
JDMA are committed to ensuring their valuers have the support they need to complete their job efficiently, professionally and accurately. The admin/support team are all property graduates or property students with a passion for property. The admin team complete the preliminary research and are able to answer all of your questions before booking your valuation. All valuation reports undergo a 23 point quality assurance process prior to submission. Valuations are conducted to the highest quality reporting standards, in line with the Australian Property Institute’s requirements.
You can be assured of the highest quality at every stage of your relationship with JDMA, from the admin team when booking the valuation, to discussing the figure with the valuer, and follow up from the Business Manager.
JDMA Property Consulting and Valuations operates independently of developers, real estate agents and other groups. Their valuations are independent and unbiased valuations and reflect the true market value.
The key to succeeding in property is to engage professionals in the industry to minimise your risk. Never purchase a property without a good solicitor, valuer and building/pest inspector.
The Director of the firm, Jonathan Millar, is a Certified Practising Valuer and an Associate of the API. He is a valuer of 20 years experience in the greater Brisbane area. Jonathan was formally at Suncorp Bank as the National Manager for Valuations.
