What is a rateable value in NZ? RVs explained
If you own a property (or you’re buying) it’s good to know a thing or two about RVs

AI summary
A property's Rateable Value (RV), or CV, is set by local councils every three years to calculate rates. It's based on an algorithm, not a physical inspection, so it doesn't account for a home's condition or recent market changes.
An RV is not an accurate measure of market value. For a true valuation, get a professional valuation or a real estate agent's sales appraisal. Online estimates from sites like Homes.co.nz can also provide a useful starting point.
Rateable value explained
RVs do not neccesarily reflect the true value of a property.
Why RVs don’t necessarily reflect the value of property
RVs are important but shouldn't be relied upon to figure out a propety's value.
