How does Tiimely Home work out the value of my property?

There are three ways Tiimely Home can value your property:

  • Automated Valuation Model (AVM),
  • desktop valuation, and
  • full valuation.

What is an Automated Valuation Model (AVM)?

If our tech can source good data on your property and the loan you are seeking doesn’t require a full valuation, we'll do an AVM. This instant valuation of your property analyses values of comparable properties through integrated external providers, existing property and land databases and our own tech models.

What is a desktop valuation?

If we can't value your property instantly, we'll do a desktop valuation or full valuation. A desktop valuation is when an accredited valuer uses publicly available information such as tax records and comparable sales in the area to establish the value of a property.

What is a full valuation?

A full valuation is when we arrange for an independent and qualified valuer to inspect your property and issue a report with the valuation. This may be required if:

  • You have less than 20% deposit
  • The property is a high-density apartment

In a full valuation, a licensed appraiser visits the property, takes photographs and measurements, and evaluates the location, features, selling points and overall condition of the property.

And you won't need to pay any valuation fees because we pick up the cost.

Legal things about our rates
Our home loans are subject to credit criteria and eligibility requirements. Home loan interest rates are for new customers only and can change. Our comparison rates are based on a $150,000 loan amount over a 25 year term. They factor in fees associated with applying for the loan; ongoing fees and fees associated with leaving the loan. Our fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the fixed term. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a one year period.

WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
