$995 written report

When you need a market valuation on letterhead

Our written reports document the market value of a domain with a transparent methodology and comparable Australian sales, signed and dated by a senior broker. Australian businesses, accountants and lawyers use them as supporting reference material in their own professional workstreams. They are general information only — not tax, legal or financial advice.

📑 Business divestment

Selling a business that owns valuable Australian domains. Buyer's lawyers want each digital asset valued separately and signed for.

📋 Contested assets

A documented market value when a domain is included in a property settlement, partnership dispute or other asset distribution. Your lawyer applies the value within their professional judgment of the matter.

🧾 Tax records

A documented market valuation your tax agent can reference for CGT calculations, in-specie distributions, share-for-asset swaps, or R&D tax incentive submissions. We do not provide tax advice — your registered tax agent applies the valuation to your specific circumstances.

🏛️ Estate documentation

A documented market figure for estate asset inventory and beneficiary distribution. Executors typically share this with the estate's legal advisor.

💼 M&A and capital raises

Investor due-diligence packs and IM appendices where the brand domain is a material asset of the deal thesis.

🛡️ Insurance & loss

Domain hijack, registrar dispute, or business-interruption claims where you need to substantiate the asset's pre-loss value.

Methodology

How we actually value an Australian domain

No black-box scoring. Every appraisal weights eight signals against our database of comparable Australian domain sales.

1. Length & memorability

Shorter, easier to spell, easier to recall — pricier.

2. Exact-match keyword

Does the label match a high-intent search term?

3. Comparable sales

Recent Australian sales in the same vertical and length tier.

4. Extension premium

.com.au vs .au vs .net.au — different buyer pools, different multiples.

5. Buyer-pool depth

How many real businesses would benefit from owning it?

6. Search volume

Type-in traffic and SEO value of the underlying term.

7. Brandability

Pronounceable, trademark-clear, and comfortable on a billboard.

8. Liquidity discount

How quickly we believe the domain will sell at the headline figure.

Domain appraisal tools compared: how Flair differs from GoDaddy, Estibot, Sedo and Atom

Free automated domain appraisal tools — GoDaddy, Estibot, Sedo, Dynadot, Atom, Namecheap, Flippa, Humbleworth — are calibrated mainly on .com sales. For .com.au and .au domains, they often miss the Australian buyer pool, the extension premium, and local comparable sales. Here's how our broker-led appraisal differs for the Australian market.

FAQ

Common questions about domain appraisals

How much does a domain appraisal cost in Australia?
Free for an informal email valuation (returned within 24 business hours). $995 per domain for a formal written report — suitable as a market valuation reference for divestment, tax records, estate planning and similar use cases.
Is there a free domain appraisal tool for .au domains?
Yes — Flair's free domain appraisal is the only Australia-focused tool that returns a real broker-reviewed number rather than an algorithmic estimate. Submit any .com.au or .au name and we'll email a valuation within 24 business hours, with comparable .au sales attached, at no cost.
How accurate is GoDaddy domain appraisal for .au domains?
GoDaddy, Estibot, Sedo, Dynadot, Atom and Humbleworth are calibrated mainly on .com sales. They often miss the .com.au and .au market because they don't see the local buyer pool, auDA registration context, or recent comparable Australian transactions. A broker-reviewed Australian appraisal incorporates that local context.
Is there a domain appraisal calculator that works for Australian domains?
No automated calculator captures the .au-specific signals that drive value — local search demand, auDA eligibility history, .com.au vs .au extension premium, and comparable Australian transactions. Flair's free appraisal applies that same calculator-style scoring across eight signals, then a senior broker overlays the market context.
When do I need a written valuation report?
Whenever a third party will reference the number — selling a business that includes domains, documenting a CGT event with your tax agent, capital raise data rooms, estate distributions, insurance documentation, or contested asset matters with your lawyer. The free version is plenty for personal use or testing the waters.
Are your written reports suitable for tax records or legal matters?
Our written reports document the market value of a domain using a transparent methodology and comparable Australian sales. They are produced and signed by a senior Flair broker with chartered accounting credentials and 10+ years of Australian domain market experience, and delivered with an ABN tax invoice. Australian businesses, accountants and lawyers use them as supporting reference material in their own professional workstreams. They are not tax, legal or financial advice. For matters requiring a formal expert witness valuation — for example, contested legal proceedings — CABV-accredited business valuers can provide that. We can refer you to a partner valuer if needed.
How long does the written report take?
Five business days from payment for a standard report. 48-hour rush turnaround is available on request (additional $200).
Do I have to sell through Flair after I get an appraisal?
No. Both the free and paid valuations are independent — the report is yours regardless of whether or where you sell. If you do choose to list with us within 12 months, we credit the $995 fee against your listing or brokerage commission.
Can you appraise a portfolio of multiple domains?
Yes. Free appraisals are unlimited (one form per domain). Written reports drop to $795 each for 5+ domains and $595 each for 20+. Email portfolio@flair.com.au with your list.
Will my appraisal request be confidential?
Yes. We never list, contact, or market a domain you've asked us to value. Appraisal data is broker-confidential and not shared with the marketplace.
Who values the domain?
Reports are prepared and signed by a senior Flair broker with chartered accounting credentials and 10+ years of Australian domain market experience. We do not currently hold the CA Business Valuation Specialist (CABV) designation. For matters requiring a CABV-accredited expert witness, we can refer you to a partner valuer.
