When property owners in Brisbane decide to sell or transfer an investment, one of the first questions we get is:

“What’s my property really worth for tax purposes?”

That’s where a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) valuation comes in — and it’s something many owners wish they’d done sooner.

We see it often. Someone sells their home or investment, and a few months later, their accountant asks for a CGT valuation from years back. Getting a professional report done early can save hours of stress (and sometimes a few thousand dollars in taxes).

For example, a townhouse in Carindale that’s been lived in for years but was recently rented out will have a very different CGT position to a beachfront apartment in Burleigh Heads held under an SMSF. A generic online estimate simply can’t capture that difference — but a Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) can.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires a formal valuation to determine your property’s market value at a particular point in time — especially if you’ve lived in the property, rented it out, or inherited it. Using rough estimates or automated figures can easily backfire if the ATO decides to take a closer look.

That’s why every CGT valuation we prepare is reviewed and signed off by a Certified Practising Valuer — not an algorithm. You get a defensible, independent report that holds up if ever questioned by the ATO.

At Delphi Consultants & Valuers, our Brisbane-based team provides independent, ATO-compliant CGT valuations across South East Queensland, covering the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, and Moreton Bay regions. We know these markets inside out — from riverside suburbs to coastal apartments — and understand how each micro-market affects your property’s assessed value.

Whether you need a retrospective valuation for a home in Bulimba, a subdivision assessment in Springfield, or an SMSF transfer report in the Gold Coast corridor, we’ll make sure your valuation stands up to scrutiny.

If you’re planning to sell, transfer, or change the use of your property anywhere in Brisbane or the broader South East Queensland region, a well-prepared CGT valuation can make a real difference at tax time.

💡 Tip: You don’t have to wait until your accountant asks — ordering a CGT valuation before settlement gives you more control and flexibility when working out your capital gain later.
