A boundary adjustment involves altering the legal boundaries between two or more parcels of land often without creating new lots. These adjustments may be made to resolve encroachments, improve land usability, align with fencing or occupation lines, or facilitate an agreement between neighbouring landowners. While boundary adjustments do not always involve a sale, they can have implications for stamp duty, council approvals, and market value which is why an independent valuation is often required.
At Sydney Property Valuers, we specialise in providing formal market valuations for boundary adjustments, tailored to meet the requirements of Revenue NSW, local councils, and legal professionals. Our reports are clear, compliant, and backed by current market evidence.
For taxation matters involving property value, Sydney Property Valuers also provides Capital Gains Tax valuations.
A boundary adjustment involves modifying the legal boundary between two or more adjoining lots, usually without creating a new title. It can occur to resolve a title encroachment, align with a fence, or improve access or usability.
Yes. A valuation is often required to determine the market value of the land being transferred or reallocated, especially when it involves stamp duty or council approval. Revenue NSW typically requires an independent assessment when land is transferred, even without a sale.
Stamp duty may be payable if part of the land is being transferred between parties. The amount is calculated based on the market value of the land portion being added or removed, not necessarily on the purchase price.
Our valuation report includes a description of the land involved, its zoning, size, location, site attributes, comparable sales analysis, and a final valuation supported by clear evidence. It is suitable for submission to Revenue NSW, council, or your solicitor.
Most boundary adjustment valuations are completed within 3–5 business days following inspection. We also offer urgent services where timelines are tight.
