Factory CGT valuation for your 30 June 2027 cost base

ElevateIQ valuers know specialised factories often cost more to build than a buyer will pay. We test continued use against alternative use, so your 30 June 2027 cost base reflects the higher supported value. An AAPI Certified Practising Valuer signs every report, prepared on a desktop basis with an on-site condition record near the valuation date.

When a factory CGT valuation earns its place.

  • Testing passing rent against the rent the market now supports.
  • Reading your local market on its own evidence, not a wider average.
  • Recognising plant, power supply and fit-out that a general estimate averages away.
  • Reading the site area and its constraints alongside the building area.
  • Giving your accountant a 30 June 2027 market value they can review.
  • Showing the recent sales and lease evidence behind the number.

ElevateIQ makes the CGT valuation clear.

We confirm the scope, capture a condition record on site and analyse your local evidence. You receive one clear value, with every adjustment shown.

Why 30 June 2027 matters.

Factories are the asset class where cost and value part company most sharply. Specialised plant, heavy power and purpose-built layout can be essential to the occupier and worth nothing to the next buyer, so a cost-base valuation has to test the property against alternative use, not just current use.

Evidence beyond the public record.

Property sales become public after settlement and registration. Many lease details do not. Rent-free periods, incentives, renewals and lease changes can stay inside agency files.

ElevateIQ analyses commercial sales and lease evidence from its agency network, then uses the most relevant transactions to support your valuation.

What shapes this property's value.

Local market evidence supports the 30 June 2027 value.

Australian factory and manufacturing property

The valuation starts with the property itself.

Each report records the site, improvements, title area and tenancy schedule before the market evidence is analysed.

Australian factory and manufacturing property

Current use against highest and best use

A specialised factory is valued on whichever is higher: its value in continued manufacturing use, or its value converted to general industrial or warehouse use, net of the cost to strip out and reinstate. The report sets out both and explains which the market would pay for.

Services, power and the things that cannot be replicated cheaply

Three-phase and high-load power supply, trade waste connections, compressed air, gantry cranes, exhaust and ventilation, effluent handling and floor drainage are expensive to install and genuinely add value where a comparable occupier needs them. They are recorded in the on-site condition record and valued for what a buyer in that market would pay, not at replacement cost.

Contamination and reinstatement risk

Manufacturing history raises questions a valuation cannot ignore. Where there is visible evidence of contamination, underground tanks or an obvious remediation liability, the report identifies it as an assumption or qualification and states how the value is affected, so the figure your accountant relies on is not silently overstated.

Reasons to choose ElevateIQ for a factory CGT valuation.

A useful valuation should show the evidence, the method and who signs the report.

Common questions.

Five clear answers before you register a property.

Does the valuation include the plant and machinery?

No. The valuation covers land and buildings including fixed improvements. Loose plant and production equipment are excluded and identified as such.

My factory is old and dated. Will it be valued at land value?

Only if the evidence supports that. The report tests continued use against alternative use and adopts the higher, with the reasoning shown.

Is a contamination report needed first?

Not to proceed. The valuation is prepared on stated assumptions, and any material environmental issue is qualified in the report.

How is the fee calculated?

By a published two-axis schedule: your property's area band and its tenancy band, whichever produces the higher fee. Nothing is quoted case by case, so you can check the number yourself before registering.

How does the $500 deposit work?

A $500 + GST deposit per property address is taken on registration and applied in full against your valuation fee.
