Why Accurate, Independent Valuations Are Critical for SMSFs
Managing a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund comes with significant responsibility. When your SMSF holds property, obtaining a reliable, independent property valuation is not just best practice—it’s essential for compliance, reporting accuracy, and protecting your retirement strategy.
At Gold Coast Valuers, we specialise in SMSF-compliant property valuations, providing trustees, accountants, and financial advisers with valuations they can rely on.
When Does an SMSF Need a Property Valuation?
SMSFs typically require property valuations in several key situations, including:
-
- Annual financial reporting
-
- Audit requirements
-
- Related party transactions
-
- Property transfers in or out of the fund
-
- Pension commencements
-
- In-house asset testing
-
- Market value updates during changing conditions
Using an independent and appropriately qualified valuer helps ensure the valuation stands up to ATO scrutiny and satisfies SMSF auditors.
Why SMSF Trustees Choose Independent Valuers
Not all valuations are created equal. SMSF auditors increasingly expect valuations that are:
-
- Objective and independent
-
- Prepared by a qualified professional
-
- Supported by market evidence
-
- Appropriate for the asset type
Online estimates or informal appraisals may not be sufficient—particularly for commercial, industrial, specialised, or related-party properties.
Our valuations are prepared with SMSF compliance front of mind, reducing the risk of audit queries or delays.
