Rural landowner valuations

From small family-run stations to large publicly listed agribusinesses, we help rural landowners challenge inflated government land valuations that drive up council rates, state land rent, land tax, and leasehold conversion costs.

SVA Property Advisory entered the rural sector in 2020 to tackle soaring government land value hikes. As the leading firm for rural objections and appeals, we consistently achieve reductions where others can’t. Our team combines detailed sales analysis with real-world insights—factoring in improvements, costs, and your local knowledge—to ensure your property’s true unimproved value is recognised. We have the expertise to take matters to court if needed and have already seen our efforts begin to shift government behaviour toward fairer valuations for rural landowners—on par with metro standards

Free of intangible elements

Rural owners often worry that high assessments are driven by going concern value, renewables, carbon credits and biodiversity offsets—items that should be excluded from unimproved land valuations. Our specialist expertise identifies and remove these factors.

In-depth valuation review

We go beyond basic checks, separating real value from assumptions. This ensures your land is accurately and fairly assessed, helping you avoid overpayments and secure a fair unimproved value.

Maximising review opportunities

With revaluations typically happening every 3–5 years, we help you make the most of these crucial windows, protecting you from costly errors and securing the best possible outcome for your property.

Knowledge starts with you

We collaborate closely with landowners throughout the process, recognising that no one understands the unique characteristics and constraints of your property better than you do.

Who we are

A team who delivers insight, not just information.

SVA Property Advisory is led by a team of senior practitioners with a reputation for delivering high quality, commercially focused advice. Our experts operate within their local markets and leverage the most up-to-date evidence to provide accurate, efficient guidance. Unlike firms that rely on external consultants, our advice is grounded in direct market knowledge and strong working relationships with statutory authorities.

All statutory advice is led by our National Director, ensuring every client benefits from a cohesive and strategic approach to rating and taxation matters.
