SLR Valuations Payment and Refund Policy

A valuation will only commence once cleared funds for the valuation fee have been received:-
Our standard procedure once any valuation instruction has been activated is to assign the valuation instruction to the valuer. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, only once cleared funds for the valuation fee has been received will we activate a valuation and the valuer will then commence the valuation process, including booking a valuation inspection, field note preparation, market analysis and any other necessary steps for the completion of the valuation including the valuation report.

Our valuers carry out valuations in a professional and timely manner. A valuation inspection is a physical inspection by the valuer of the property to be valued and, for standard residential property, can normally be carried out within 2 working days of receiving instruction. For a standard residential property, valuation reports are usually completed within 2 to 3 working days from the valuation inspection. For all properties, please enquire about timing of the valuation inspection and report completion before proceeding.


Payment Terms

Our payment terms are for payment in advance.

Where our valuation fee is less than $5,000, we require payment of the valuation fee in advance. Where our valuation fee exceeds $5,000, we require a 50 percent payment of the valuation fee in advance, and balance prior to release of the valuation by the valuer.

Unless otherwise agreed by us, the person instructing the valuation (the client) is responsible for payment of the valuation fee.

For users of our online Quote & Valuation Instruction form, payment of the valuation fee can be made immediately once a quote has been uploaded by the valuer (refer to Step 5 of that form). For all other valuation instructions, our tax invoice will be emailed to the client for payment once the valuation instruction has been activated.

Our payment options are as follows:

  • Credit card over internet
  • Credit card over phone
  • Bank transfer
  • Cash upon inspection
  • Cheque

    Payment by credit card over the internet is available to users of our online Quote & Valuation Instruction form. However, if any client requires this payment option, then we can make this available at the client's request.

    Our formal tax invoice marked paid will be emailed to the client along with the valuation report once completed.
