Good arvo all,

In regards to valuation I am interested in your thoughts on my situation.

I bought an ARMADALE home in a good street 2 months ago for my Mum to live in (best tenant). Real Estate Agent is a family friend.

The house first went on the market for $180, when we looked at it the second time it was $170, I purchased it for $163. The sellers had to move to Darwin ASAP.

I have since repainted the interior of the house top to bottom in a neutral colours (before it was only undercoated & with pink doors & an orange lounge room EWW).
Tiled the laundry & toilet (mouldy lino before)
Replaced all carpet (no amount of supa dupa cleaning got it clean).
New cupboards & mirror shelf in bathroom.
New cupboards in kitchen.
Still to spruce up garden more but has very green grass now.

Q1. What conservative rate of value would this of added to my house.
Q2. Does the furniture in the house affect value.
Q3. Where do we find a good property valuer.
Q4. I am wanting to draw out equity. Will it go straight into my bank account & do I need a reason for it.

Kindest regards

Millie
