Newcastle and the Lower Hunter
The City of Newcastle sits at the mouth of the Hunter River, with Lake Macquarie City to the south, Port Stephens to the north and Maitland to the north-west.
Mine subsidence districts
Parts of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie sit above old underground coal workings and fall within a Mine Subsidence District. Districts are declared under the Coal Mine Subsidence Compensation Act 2017, and building, altering or subdividing within one generally needs the approval of Subsidence Advisory NSW.
A district can matter to value in two ways. It can shape what may be built on a site and how, which matters most for vacant land and development sites. And any past subsidence damage or repairs are part of a property’s condition. Whether a property is in a district can be checked on the NSW Planning Portal, and a valuer would normally note it in the report. See what a property valuer looks at.
Port, industrial and commercial property
Newcastle is a working port city, with industrial land around the port and along the river. Industrial and commercial property is valued on its leases, income and sales evidence, and receives a fixed quote from $1,980 incl. GST. See industrial property valuations and commercial property valuations.
Other reasons to value Newcastle property
- Transfers within the family: transfer duty in NSW is administered by Revenue NSW and is generally charged on the greater of the price paid and the property’s unencumbered value, so a transfer for less than market value is generally assessed on market value unless an exemption applies. Revenue NSW says a formal valuation used as evidence of value must indicate that an inspection was undertaken. Stamp duty valuations are quoted individually: contact us with the details, and we tell you in writing, before anything is agreed, whether we can take the work on.
- Capital gains tax: market value at a past date, such as the day a home you lived in was first rented out. See retrospective valuations.
- Estates: value at the date of death. Probate in NSW is granted by the Supreme Court of New South Wales. See date of death valuations.
- Separation: family law property matters are heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, which has a registry in Newcastle. See family law valuations.
- SMSF: market value for the fund’s annual accounts and audit. See SMSF valuations.
We value property. We do not give tax or legal advice. Your accountant, conveyancer or lawyer can tell you whether a valuation is useful and at which date.
