Q

Explain how you ranked your comparables

A

The Cloisters seen as a direct comparable

Pottle Walk was historic so i assessed that as Catagory B General Market Data as per the GN Comparable Evidence in Real Estate Valuation

Fernlea Grade A Direct evidence however only classed as ‘similar’ real estate due to luxury status therefore not ranked as high as Cloisters

Broadoaks again Grade A and a similar type however, considered the fact that it was slightly further away from our subject than the Cloisters.

Q

How did you stress test proposals during interview stage?

A

Requested further information on:

  • assumptions on timings
  • accommodation schedules
  • net densities per hectare
  • funding details
51
Q

What is the RICS Valuation Information Paper 12?

A

Covers entire process > site inspection, gathering site specific information, establishing planning potential, environmental due diligence

Assessing development potential > optimum planning position, timing and phasing issues, analysing market demand/supply
• Valuation by comparison method
• Valuation by residual method
• Assessment of market value of proposed development (using comps)
• Assessing site value
• Reporting the valuation which should include:

i. Comment on costs
ii. Viability of the proposed project
iii. Assumptions and sensitivity in residual
iv. Implications of cost over runs
v. Reflection of market conditions at date of valuation

52
Q

How did VIP12 assist you in undertaking a development appraisal?

A

Followed advice by verifying my estimation of guide price/GDV against a recent land comparable

Oakwood = £xx per net developable acre

St Leonards Ringwood.

  • £1.15m per net acre
  • August 2019
  • Homes England sold to Barchester
  • Outline consent for 210 homes and 80 bed care home
53
Q

What costing estimate had the Promotor undertaken? Were you prepared to rely on this?

A

Quantity surveyors estimate undertaken in July 2019

- estimates on services and utilities too

54
Q

What is GOOD evidence?

A

Ranked as per Comparable Evidence in Real Estate Valuation 2019

Grade A - Direct
Grade B - General
Grade C - Other

55
Q

Why were Poole and Bournemouth vastly different markets?

A
  • Attracted a different target market
  • Higher density housing
  • University cities
56
Q

How would you attribute a premium for the Poole and Bournemouth should you have decided to analyse these markets?

A

I would have analysed comparable evidence from similar property types between these more urban locations and the likes of Wimborne and determined any trends related to location.

57
Q

Which would you rank higher than the other - second hand or historic?

A

Although Comparable Evidence in Real Estate Valuation 2019 does not specifically refer to second hand data, I deem it as:

Grade C - Other
- ‘transactional evidence from other real estate types and locations’

Therefore ranked lower than Grade B - Historic evidence

58
Q

How does Right Move obtain its data?

A
  • Agents
  • Lenders
  • Land Registry
59
Q

Why did you use a blended figure across the site?

A

This was £365 for the apartment units only

At this stage as we were at outline stage, a detailed unit by unit appraisal was uneseccary as assumptions could well change

60
Q

How did you verify findings with your local office?

A

Before reporting to the client I provided them with a draft marketing report and appraisal.

I wanted to check that my estimation on guide price and sales rates was reasonable and in line with their knowledge of the market

61
Q

How did you establish guide price for Lot 3 (Care Home)

A

I did not

An appraisal was undertaken by our Alternative Markets team who specialise in the retirement living sector

62
Q

What was in your Expressions of Interest letter?

A

Detailed information on sales process

Expectation for contents of any bids

63
Q

How many bids did you receive?

A

12

64
Q

What were the salient details in your bid matrix?

A
  • Capital sum offered
  • Finance arrangements
  • Payment profile

Assumptions on;
- SANG delivery

65
Q

How did you establish net present value

A

Used a discount cash flow

Spread over however many number of years of payment

Used a discount factor agreed with my client (x%)

66
Q

How was it evidenced that Parties 1 & 2 had undertaken the most due diligence?

A

Evidenced by activity in the dataroom

Both developed a strong line of communication with Promotors design and planning teams

Had a far more frequent line of communication with us throughout

67
Q

How had Party 1’s proposal not complied with the Design Code

A

In the Canford Magna end they had offered on the basis of a higher dwelling PH than the Design Code prescribed

68
Q

How were you aware that Party 1 possessed an adequate build quality

A

Were presented case studies at interview stage of similar projects completed

69
Q

Why would it be beneficial to your Client for Party 1 to pay through cash reserves?

A

Not relying on funding to align for completion or first payment

70
Q

What is an overage clause?

A

Arrangements for sharing extra receipts over and beyond originally expected levels

In line with a pre agreed formula

71
Q

How can one structure an overage agreement?

A
  • Turn (flip land)
  • Planning (additional square footage)
  • Sales (any additional GDV)
72
Q

What were your clients Key Performance Indicators

A

Minimum of 5 bids on the site

73
Q

What was the reasoning behind your advice to postpone marketing

A
  • Ongoing dialogue with the parties
  • Aware from knowledge across the market and from board members at respective business that there was increasing market uncertainty
  • Because of the lot size we considered the decision
  • Decision due to feedback in the market
  • Parties land buying activity was put on hold
  • I was continually in dialogue with all a parties and my Client throughout hiatus
74
Q

How did you build a good relationship with the various parties?

A

Remained in constant communication

As an agent, I endeavoured to respond to any queries they may have throughout the sales process in a timely manner

75
Q

How did you measure the Site?

A

Promap

I referred to Land registry title plans to ensure accuracy

76
Q

What was the scale of your site plan?

A

1:5000

77
Q

Why was the construction cost for Canford Magna parcel the same as your affordable rate?

A

Units were considerably larger than the main site

Assessed via BCIS and confirmed by a quantity surveyor

78
Q

Why were there no marketing costs in your appraisal?

A

These were included in the sales fee in this instance

79
Q

Why did you appraisal not include CIL?

A

-

80
Q

How would you carry out the instruction differently in todays market?

A
  • Consider virtual or socially distant tours
  • Rhetoric of rural locations becoming increasingly popular in new-age of living playing greater role in marketing material
81
Q

How can s.106 agreements be used by a planning authority?

A
  • Require a sum or sums to be paid to the authority
  • Restrict the development in any specified way
  • Require specified activities to be carried out
  • Require the land to be used in any specified way
82
Q

What could have impacted the availability of good comparable evidence?

A
  • Limited no. of comps
  • Special purchaser
  • Historic evidence
83
Q

What does Comparable Evidence in Real Estate Valuation 2019 say in regards to Development Land in particular?

A

Comparable approach sensitive to small changes in valuation inputs eg:

  • density of the permitted development
  • assumed value of the completed development
  • ground conditions
  • development costs
  • allowance for risk.
84
Q

How did you use Land Registry Price Paid data (0.8% between 2018-2019) to consider historic evidence?

A

Historic evidence at Pootle Walk was considered fairly low down when ranking our comparable evidence.

Was able to use price paid data per annum as a barometer of what this might have equated to in 2019

85
Q

Why didn’t you consider asking price data?

A

Quarter Jack Park by Bloor Homes was in the process of construction in nearby Ringwood however:

  • No apartments
  • Hadn’t realised pricing information until we had began marketing the site

No other comparable asking prices outside of Bournemouth and Poole

86
Q

What does Comparable Evidence in Real Estate Valuation GN (2019) say in regards to second hand data?

A

It does not explicitly refer to it however;

My interpretation is that it is Category C i.e. evidence from ‘other real estate types’

Grade C = ‘might provide broad indications of value’

87
Q

Why did you advise to split the site and then to sell as a single lot?

A
  • Aware of problematic nature of the restrictive covenant
  • Committed to securing highest value for my client
  • So happened that our top bidders for all three lots individually bid on the lots
  • Therefore advised to progress with a single party prior to Covid-19 who had presented an incredibly strong proposal for Lot 2

This said
- Split lot remains an option post-Covid as Client and School yet to agree on a preferred purchaser

I am confident that taking a split lot approach presented the strongest chance of maximising value to our client and forced larger developers to think more carefully about their proposals for this lot

88
Q

What were your assumptions for the care home parcel on a split lot disposal scenario?

A

Alternatives team invited bids from active care operators in the area

89
Q

What was your assumptions for the care home parcel in a single lot disposal scenario?

A

We anticipated that the purchaser would sell this themselves.

So transpired that a number of developers had entered into discussion with care providers themselves and made prelimary agreements to sell them a serviced parcel some time in the future

90
Q

Why was there such a difference between your estimation of GDV and bids?

A

My residual valuation was appropriate for the market at the time of appraising

First round of bids reasonably in line with my guide price

Competitive tension drove bids up in best and final round

Party 1 bidding on the assumption of future market values

  • £420 psf unprecedented and unseen
  • I would not have felt comfortable advising on these levels
91
Q

What did you base your assumptions on affordable housing on when advising on GDV/guide price?

A

Had advice from an RP

or

Specialist affordable housing team

92
Q

What are the different types of Affordable Housing?

A

Affordable rented

  • the main type of new housing supply
  • let by local authorities or registered providers (RPs) of social housing to households who are eligible
  • capped at 80% of local market rent levels
  • Designed for lower income levels

Intermediate
- prices are above those of social rented housing but below market housing prices or rents

Intermediate tends to generate a higher value

93
Q

What is Affordable Housing?

A

Housing for those whose needs are not met by the market.

Eligibility is determined with regard to local incomes and local house prices

94
Q

Why did Richborough Estates purchase land?

A

Necessary for the making up of SANG contribution

Allowed them to become involved in the collaboration agreement

95
Q

Difference between Collaboration Agreement and Land Pool Trust

A

Collaboration

  • most commonly used form of land pooling agreement
  • multiple owners agree in advance how land sale proceeds will be split
  • agreement will bind each to act collaboratively in the common good

Land Pool Trust

  • Owners transfer their landholdings into a common Trust in which they each become trustees
  • This may give an initial requirement for SDLT but other tax advantages usually outweigh this.
96
Q

Why would the Landowners want to enter into a land pooling agreement?

A

Any thoughts of ransom over one another will be set aside

Canford School were aware that development was envisaged for The Bailey land and wanted a share in the profits owning land adjacent

97
Q

Explain your advice for the Overage Clause

A

As Party 1’s offer was marginally over the compliant density per hectare for the Canford Magna Parcel, should they prove successful in obtaining a higher density in this area, I could negotiate for my client:

  1. Planning overage (sq ft’age)
  2. Sales overage (GDV)
98
Q

Are you aware of the new plans to reform the Planning system? White Paper

A

Zonal Planning

Centralised decisions

Local design codes

Makes it easier to build new build and commercial buildings

  • Land divided ‘growth’, ‘renewal’ & ‘protected’
  • Blocked from denying permission in ‘growth’ areas
99
Q

What are the tax advantages of an Collaboration Agreement?

A

I am not qualified to comment or advise on matters from a tax perspective.

I am not a professional tax adviser.

100
Q

Was there a ransom on the Canford Land

A

No, there was independent access from the Canford land.

101
Q

What was your marketing strategy?

A
  • Expression of interest
  • Dataroom
  • Site presentations

Progressed to informal tender marketing

102
Q

What basis of agency were you on?

A

Sole selling rights

Sole agency

103
Q

What were your fees for the instruction?

A

“Base fee” of approximately 0.5% up to a threshold, above which an “incentive fee” is paid.

104
Q

What are the 5 defining points of the Greenbelt?

A
  • preserve the setting and special character of historic towns
  • safeguarding the countryside from encroachment
  • prevent neighbouring towns from merging into one another
