后花园估价模型是以过去六个月全新西兰成交记录为样本，结合来自政府和第三方的房屋数据，通过大数据和机器学习算法来训练导出的数据模型。我们以每周的频率更新估价模型和数据来确保更实时地反应房地产市场走势。
注意：后花园估价是通过计算机运算得出的结果，没有包含任何与房地产估价相关的人工干预。受数据来源影响，模型计算出的房屋估价可能是不准确甚至是有很大差距的。模型计算得出的结果仅供参考，不含任何与地产交易相关的指导价格。
Hougarden sources its property valuation data from its valuation algorithm which gathers a range of data to estimate the value that a property could sell or rent for. The data upon which we have relied in formulating such values includes publicly-accessible figures like the sale and rent prices of similar properties, local council valuations and market trends and other third party provider data. The data is of a general nature and should not be relied upon in lieu of appropriate professional advice. While Hougarden uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure Hougarden’s data is current, Hougarden does not warrant the accuracy, currency or completeness of its data and to the full extent permitted by law excludes all loss or damage howsoever arising (including through negligence) in connection with Hougarden’s data.
Hougarden estimated property values provided on the Platform are estimates only and you must only use them on that basis. They are produced using an automated, computer driven mathematical model that relies on the data that is available. They are generated without a physical inspection of the property and do not incorporate:
• market conditions (including building, planning, or economic) or other external factors that could impact the sale or rental price of a property, like changes in the economy or the housing market generally, future infrastructure plans or the environment; or
• all specific property factors, observable features or risks, such as the standard of construction, recent renovations, adverse environmental issues, improvements, aesthetics, views or aspect, unique features, the current state of repair and decoration, or the specific location.
We also rely on third party provider data and publicly-accessible data to be accurate. Where data from external sources is inaccurate for any reason, the accuracy of Hougarden’s estimated property values will likely be impacted. Similarly, where there is insufficient external data to provide even a broad estimated range, nothing is displayed on the Platform.
Hougarden’s estimated property values should be treated as part of your overall property research, and should not be relied on for property sale, purchase, mortgage or related purposes. Estimated property values are current only at the date of publication and must not be relied upon as a professional valuation or an accurate representation of the market value of the property as determined by a valuer. We strongly recommend that all usual and appropriate due diligence, research and professional advice should be carried out when making any decision about buying or selling property. For a current appraisal of your property, we recommend contacting local real estate agents or property managers or a registered valuer who will carry out a formal valuation (at your own cost). Hougarden and Hougarden expressly exclude any warranties and representations that an estimate is an accurate representation as to the market value of a property.
Title Reports
Hougarden sources some of its data and information for a property from the certificate of title. This is a subset of information available from the relevant registering body and has not been changed in any way. Such data and information is not a substitute for a certificate of title. The data and information is updated at regular intervals (promptly after receipt) but may be up to six weeks old. You should be aware that at any time, the data or information relating to a certificate of title may be out of date and superseded.
