Managing a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) comes with regulatory responsibilities, and one of the most important is having an ATO compliant valuation for property assets. Whether you are an SMSF trustee, accountant, or financial adviser, understanding the value of your fund’s property assets is essential for your SMSF audit obligations.

At Hovr, we make it simple. Our desktop valuation service is built specifically to support SMSF compliance, offering accurate, evidence-based valuations without the high costs or long wait times of traditional on-site inspections.

Why You Need an ATO Compliant Valuation

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires SMSF trustees to ensure that assets are valued at market value when preparing annual returns and financial statements. A professional valuation helps you:

• Meet ATO obligations with an objective and well-documented valuation
• Ensure accurate reporting of property assets in your SMSF portfolio
• Avoid penalties, compliance issues or delays during your SMSF audit
• Support decision-making for retirement planning and investment strategy

Our reports are prepared in accordance with ATO guidelines and are suitable for accounting and audit purposes.

What is a Desktop Valuation?

A desktop valuation is a type of property appraisal performed remotely, without a physical inspection. It leverages market data, recent comparable sales, property records, and local insights to assess the market value of a property.

For standard residential and investment properties, these SMSF specific desktop valuations are a reliable, affordable, and ATO-accepted solution—especially when a physical inspection is not required for compliance.

What you get: the value of the property based on a desktop audit as well as a brief report that details how the valuation was done and what data was used.

How Our SMSF Valuation Process Works

We’ve streamlined our valuation service to make it easy for SMSF stakeholders to get the information they need:

1. Submit your details: Provide the property address and key request details.
2. Valuer review: One of our professionals reviews recent comparable sales, market conditions, and property data to determine market value.
3. Report delivery: Receive a professionally formatted PDF report that is ready for your SMSF accountant or auditor. Most reports are delivered within 1–2 business days.
