Valuation Approaches and Methods

26
Q

What are the Valuation Approaches?

A
  1. Market
  2. Income
  3. Cost
27
Q

What is the ‘Market’ approach?

A

The comparison of an asset with similar assets.

28
Q

What is the ‘Income’ approach?

A

The capitalisation or conversion of present and predicted income to produce a single current capital value.

29
Q

What is the ‘Cost’ approach?

A

Whereby the value is based on the economic principle that a purchaser will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain one of the same utility by purchase or construction.

30
Q

What are the Methods of Valuation?

A
  1. Comparable Method
  2. Investment Method
  3. Profits Method
  4. Residual Method
  5. Depreciated Replacement Costs Method
31
Q

What is the Comparable Method?

A

Where appropriate market evidence is used to compare the asset being valued against similar assets.

32
Q

What is the Investment Method?

A

Where the value of the asset is dependent on the income potential.

33
Q

What is the Residual Method?

A

The valuation of a potential development which determines the residual sum after a development budget.

i.e. How much would someone be willing to pay for the development opportunity?

34
Q

What is the Depreciated Replacement Costs Method?

A

Where the cost to replace the asset with a contemporary construction used for the same purpose is calculated before deductions are made for obsolescences (physical, functional, economic).

i.e. Used to find the value for an asset for which there is no market or comparable evidence.

35
Q

What is the Profits Method?

A

Where the rental value is determined based on the profit made by the tenant’s occupation of the premises.

i.e. used where there is a lack of comparable evidence, often where there is an element of monopoly.

36
Q

What is Category A comparable evidence?

A

Direct Comparables / Direct Transactional Evidence

37
Q

What is Category B comparable evidence?

A

General Market Data
i.e. provides guidance rather than a direct indication of value from a published source or historic evidnece.

38
Q

What is Category C comparable evidence?

A

Other Sources
e.g. transaction evidence from other property types and locations or other data.

39
Q

What makes a good comparable?

A
  • Comprehensive information
  • Recent transaction
  • Identifiable
  • Arm’s length transaction
  • Consistent with local market practices
  • Very similar or identical to property being valued
40
Q

What details should a Valuer record from comparable evidence?

A
  • Address
  • Type of property
  • Tenure and Occupation
  • Brief description
  • Lease terms if applicable
  • Floor areas
  • Source of information
  • Date and method of verification
  • Transaction type and date
  • Parties involved
  • Value and any additional incentives
