Warehouse CGT valuation: clearance, docks and access

ElevateIQ valuers know warehouses of the same size can differ by hundreds of dollars per square metre. We analyse clearance, docks and site access, so your 30 June 2027 cost base reflects the specification buyers pay for. 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 warehouse 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 clearance height, roller door access and hardstand in the value.
  • Rating office and mezzanine floor area separately from the warehouse rate.
  • 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.

Warehouses look interchangeable on a title search and are not. Two buildings of identical floor area can differ by hundreds of dollars a square metre depending on internal clearance, the depth of the awning, whether a B-double can turn on site, and how many docks it has.

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 warehouse and distribution 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.

The specification that sets the rate

Internal clearance height determines racking capacity and therefore the rent a logistics occupier can justify. Column spacing, floor loading, roller door and recessed dock provision, awning depth, hardstand area and truck turning circle do the same job for throughput. Each is recorded in the on-site condition record and reflected in the comparables selected.

Land content and the small-bay difference

Two thirds of a suburban warehouse's value can be land. For small-bay and strata units, the site is shared and the value tracks the rate per square metre of building; for standalone facilities on a large site, the land rate carries the number. The report makes clear which is doing the work.

Income and vacancy at 30 June 2027

Leased warehouses are capitalised from market income with outgoings and vacancy allowance itemised. Owner-occupied warehouses are valued on a hypothetical market rent supported by lettings of similar specification, then cross-checked against direct comparison sales, both figures shown, reconciled to one adopted value.

Common questions.

Five clear answers before you register a property.

I occupy the warehouse myself. Is that a problem?

No. Owner-occupied property is valued on market evidence with a hypothetical market rent, which is the standard basis for a cost-base valuation.

Does a strata warehouse unit cost less to value?

Usually yes, because the fee is driven by area and tenancy bands and a single strata unit sits at the bottom of both.

Is the racking or plant included?

Fixed improvements that would transfer with the property are included; tenant plant, racking and removable equipment are excluded and identified 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.
