Canberra Unit Entitlement Valuation
At Canberra Property Valuers Metro, we have extensive experience in preparing unit entitlement valuations for strata schemes. These valuations determine the share each unit owner contributes towards levies, insurance, and maintenance, as well as their voting power within the body corporate.
An accurate unit entitlement ensures fairness across all owners in a strata scheme. If the allocation is incorrect, some owners may end up paying more than they should, while others may pay less. Our independent valuations prevent these imbalances and ensure compliance with ACT requirements.
Why Unit Entitlements Are Important
In strata properties, costs are not divided equally but instead are calculated according to each unit’s relative market value. This means that two units of the same size can have different entitlements if one has superior features, finishes, or views.
Unit entitlements affect:
- The share of costs payable by each owner
- The distribution of insurance premiums
- The voting rights of each lot in body corporate matters
Having a professional, independent valuation ensures contributions and rights are allocated correctly.
Legislative Requirements
In Canberra, unit entitlements for new strata schemes must be set by a Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) accredited by the Australian Property Institute (API). This requirement ensures that valuations are carried out by professionals with the appropriate training, experience, and accountability.
Unit entitlements can also be reviewed if there is evidence they were calculated incorrectly, or if changes have occurred that affect relative property values.
Our Process
When preparing a unit entitlement valuation, our valuers undertake a detailed assessment of the strata scheme, including:
- The size and market value of each lot
- Property features such as balconies, views, and finishes
- Shared facilities, including parking, lifts, and landscaping
- Zoning and planning details
- Comparable property sales
The outcome is a transparent, independent valuation that establishes fair and accurate unit entitlements for all owners.
