Why it’s important to check before entering a manual address

Updated over 3 months ago

When adding a property in TaxTank, using the correct address format is crucial to ensure you receive accurate market valuations and growth forecasts from CoreLogic. While you do have the option to enter an address manually, doing so can lead to issues that may prevent CoreLogic from retrieving data.

Why does the address matter?

CoreLogic relies on official property records to match your address with its market data. If your address isn’t entered correctly, it may not be recognised, which can result in:

  • No Market Valuation Available – If CoreLogic can’t find a matching address, it won’t be able to provide an estimated market value or growth forecast.

  • Incomplete or Incorrect Data – A mismatched address might pull information for a different property, leading to inaccurate valuations.

  • Missed Future Updates – If an address isn’t properly matched to CoreLogic’s database, you may miss out on automatic valuation updates when new data becomes available.

How to ensure your address is correct

To avoid issues, follow these steps when entering your property’s address:

  • Use the Address Search Feature – When adding a property, start typing the address and select the correct one from the suggested list. This ensures it matches CoreLogic’s official records.

  • Double-Check the Format – Make sure the address includes the correct street number, unit number (if applicable), and suburb.

  • Avoid Using Abbreviations or Variations – For example, entering "Rd" instead of "Road" or "St" instead of "Street" could cause mismatches.

  • Check for Duplicate Entries – If the property has already been added under a slightly different format, you may need to update or merge records.

  • If Unsure, Contact Support – If you’re not sure whether your address is correct or why CoreLogic data isn’t appearing, reach out to our support team for help.

When should you enter a manual address?

In rare cases, if your address does not appear in the suggested list, you may need to enter it manually. This might happen if:

  • Your property is newly built and hasn’t been added to CoreLogic’s database yet.

  • The property is in a very remote location with limited official records.

  • The address format is slightly different from how CoreLogic stores it.

If you do enter a manual address, be sure to double-check for accuracy and be aware that CoreLogic market data may not be available until the address is officially recognised.

Final Tip: Checking before you enter

Taking an extra moment to confirm your address can save time and ensure you get accurate, up-to-date property valuations in TaxTank. If CoreLogic data isn’t available for your property, it’s often due to an address mismatch, so always use the suggested address list when possible.
