Could millions of Australian property investors be leaving things too late?

In this week’s FUNdamental Friday, Ben Kingsley sits down with Greg Sugars from Preston Rowe Paterson to discuss the practical challenges surrounding the government’s upcoming capital gains tax valuation requirements.

With approximately 3.5 million investment properties across Australia and only around 6,000 valuers available, Greg explains why investors should start planning now rather than waiting until the last minute.

They discuss:

✅ Why 1 July 2027 matters
✅ The growing demand for certified property valuations
✅ Why relying on automated valuation models could be risky
✅ The difference between valuations and indexing methods
✅ Why accountants are already planning ahead
✅ The potential bottlenecks property investors should be aware of

If these changes affect you, this episode highlights why preparation could be far easier than panic.
