How do I estimate the rental value of my own property?

If you’d like to get an idea as to the value of your property before you get a free appraisal, or out of general interest, there are two things you can do:

  • Use a simple rule of thumb: Generally, an investment property’s rental value starts at about 1% of the current property value. This is then influenced up or down by market conditions and other factors.
  • Look at recently leased properties: If you can spot what houses similar in size and condition to yours are renting for in your area, you’ll get an idea as to what yours might rent for too. Find recently leased properties in the Shire here.

Of course, to get a personalised appraisal of your home’s potential rental income you’ll need the help of an expert property agent. Fill in the form above and we’ll help you!

How long is a rental appraisal valid for?

Officially, property appraisals don’t expire. That said, Sydney’s property market conditions are always changing so it won’t stay relevant forever.

Typically, we would expect a property appraisal to stay at least reasonably accurate for around three months. From three to six months it may still be pretty good, but things will have started to shift. Beyond that, it’s hard to say if your appraisal will still be relevant.

This, of course, assumes there are no major changes in the market during that time. Things can change quickly if there’s a big upward or downward trend. Alternatively, if the market stays stable then your valuation may remain accurate for longer.
