Market Rent Valuation – Rent Review
‘Market rent’ as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) refers to: “the estimated amount for which a property should be leased between a lessor and a lessee in an arm’s length transaction.”
Seeking out a market rent valuation in Melbourne for rent review purposes is an essential requirement for tenants and landlords. A rental review can either occur at the renewal of the lease or sometimes halfway through the lease. The purpose of this is to ensure the ongoing fair market rent is paid for the property in the most unbiased and transparent way possible.
With a market rent valuation, determining the correct amount of rent payable is contingent on a variety of factors. Our property valuation methods look at, economic climate, property location, size and proximity to local amenities. As a tenant, it’s important to understand your tenant rights in requesting a rental review. This review is essential in ensuring a fair rent is set according to the current rental value.
Each rent valuation report is professionally detailed, providing a comprehensive report. When writing this report, a valuer will look into the following:
- The condition of the property
- Comparable Rentals
- Current Lease agreement
- Other areas of concern as specified by the tenant
These considerations apply no matter what sort of rental valuation is being conducted, this includes a residential, industrial, or commercial property valuation. In the case of a commercial or industrial property valuation, a specialist of those particular property types should be assigned. This ensures all relevant factors are accounted for, and the right methods are used for the valuation so that it accurately reports the information the client is looking for.
