Assured Shorthold Tenancy -
What would make you think a property is NOT suitable for secured lending?
If it did not comply with lender guidance i.e. if the PP could not be proved and was suspiciously high. If there was further reporting needed, such as cracking needing attention from a Structural Engineer, or a dampness report.
Richmond Road - Due to difficulties of Covid 19, how did you go about valuing commercial buildings?
I stated there was market uncertainty to this valuation, due to the lack of comparables. It made it difficult to value, so I communicated with various agents to get further insight of the situation of commercial buildings.

Home in multiple occupation. Signs of one are accommodation which is has compartmentation, locks on doors, and most if not all bedrooms having ensuites.

Housing Act 2004.
St Hildas Avenue - How do the contraventions of BC and fire safety affect the valuation?
Within the valuation, I stated they were there and advised the lender should pay particular attention to these factors. Ultimately, it is the lenders decision to go ahead with lending on this property. I referred back to lender guidance said on this matter, which stated how to move forward.
St Hildas Avenue - How would a different yield affect the valuation? How did you arrive at an appropriate yield?
If there was more risk to this property, a higher yield would have been applied, which would indicate a lower capital value.
