Q

A proposal has been sent to a tenant with the choice of the following three rental options:

  • Pay $100,000 per annum in advance for ten years
  • Pay nothing each year and just pay a lump sum of $1,753,100 at the end of the ten years, or
  • Pay a lump sum of $675,000 at the start of the ten year lease.

Which of the above three rental options has the most favourable equivalent financial value for the tenant? Use a discount rate of 10% pa.

A. $100,000 per annum in advance for ten years has the lowest equivalent present value
B. Nothing every year and to pay $1,753,100 at the end of ten years has the lowest equivalent present value
C. A lump sum now of $675,000 has the lowest equivalent present value
D. All three options have the same equivalent present value

A

C.

1) $100,000 PMT, 10N, 10 I - BGN MODE = PV $675,902.38

2) FV $1,753,100, N10, I 10 = PV $ 675,895.94

3) $675,000 - IS LOWEST PV AND SO BEST DEAL

Q

From the following data calculate the effective rent on a rate per square metre per annum basis:

Term 7 years

Lease rent $3,000,000 per annum payable monthly in arrears

Rent free period 18 months

Up-front cash payment $200,000

Demised premises 4000 square metres

Discount rate 8% pa at monthly rests

Calculations to be made to 2 decimals places, with answer rounded to the nearest dollar.

A

$543 psm pa

Convert to per sqm rate:
= $3,000,000 / 4,000 = $750/sqm

Step 1: PV of the Face Rent

PMT = 750 /12
N = 7 x 12
I = 8 / 12
COMP PV = 4,009.95 /sqm

Step 2: Less, PV of the Rent Free Period

PMT = 750 /12
N = 18
I = 8 / 12
COMP PV = (1,056.81) /sqm

Step 3: Less, PV of the Upfront Cash Payment

= (200,000) / 4,000
= (50.00) /sqm

Lease Present Value
= 4,009.95 - 1,056.81 - 50
= 2,903.14 /sqm

Step 4: Recast Rent

PV = 2,903.14
N = 7 x 12
I = 8 / 12
FV = 0
COMP PMT = 45.25 /sqm

Step 5: Convert to an Annual Rate
= 45.25 x 12
= $542.99 /sqm, rounded to $543 /sqm

Q

What is the rental for a lease with a five year review basis when all the market evidence is based on a two year pattern?

Solve this question on an annual in arrears basis.

The market rental evidence for a vacant strata office, based on a normal two year rent review pattern, is assessed at $380 per square metre per annum. Rentals are estimated to be increasing at a growth rate of 5% per annum.

The proposed tenant for the strata office has asked for a five year lease with no rent review for the term of the lease.

What annual rent should the tenant pay? Use a Discount rate of 10% pa and assume rents are paid annually in arrears.

A

$408.15 per m2 per annum

Calculate the value of the estimated cashflow based on a two yearly rent review pattern:

Year 1 $380 psm
Year 2 $380 psm
Year 3 $418.95 psm (NB plus 5% = 399 plus 5% = 418.95)
Year 4 $418.95 psm
Year 5 $461.89 psm (NB plus 5% =439.8975 plus 5% = 461.8924)

PV of cashflow for years 1 and 2 is n=2 i= 10 pmt= 380 PV=? Answer $659.5041

PV of cashflow for years 3 and 4 is n=2 i= 10 pmt= 418.95 PV=? Answer $727.1033

Discounted back 2 years n=2 i= 10 FV= 727.1033 Answer $600.9118

PV of cashflow for year 5 is n=5 i= 10 FV= 461.89 PV=? Answer $286.7988

Total $1547.2148

Total present value of the cashflow is $1,547.21.

When this is amortised over the lease term it equates to: (don’t divide by 5! AMORTISE)

n=5 i= 10 PV= 1547.21
pmt=? Answer $408.15 psm pa but say $408 psm pa.

Q

An impending vacancy on level 3 of a property is imminent in six months’ time when the lease is due to expire. When the current lease does expire, you believe it will take an additional six months to secure a tenant and that a rent-free incentive of one year will also need to be offered. Level 3 has an area of 400 square metres and a market rent of $500 per square metre per annum. Assume rent is paid monthly in arrears.

Use 10% pa at monthly rests to calculate the loss in value to the property due to the above impending vacancy/loss of rent/rent free incentive.

A

$264,034

Pending vacancy in 6 months time

Compare the following two lease ‘deals’ and advise which is financially the better deal for a lessee.

                                     Deal A                                                         Deal B

Term 3 years 3 years

Face rent $300 per square metre pa $420 per square metre pa

Incentive none 9 months rent free

From 5/06 5/06

Reviews 3 yearly to market 3 yearly to market

Assume a discount rate of 9% at monthly rests with payments made in advance.

A

Deal A Better

Deal A: Effective rent is $300 psm pa

Deal B: Effective rent is $304 psm pa

Deal A is a lower effective rent and therefore a better deal for the lessee

Workings (for Deal B)

Step 1: PV of the Face Rent

BGN Mode
PMT = 420 /12
N = 3 x 12
I = 9 / 12
COMP PV = 1,108.90 /sqm

Step 2: Less, PV of the Rent Free Period

PMT = 420 /12
N = 9
I = 9 / 12
COMP PV = (305.78) /sqm

Lease Present Value
= 1,108.90 - 305.78
= 803.12 /sqm

Step 3: Recast Rent

PV = 803.12
N = 3 x 12
I = 9 / 12
FV = 0
COMP PMT = 25.35 /sqm

Step 4: Convert to an Annual Rate

Q

What is a triple-net-lease?

A

Tenant is responsible for absolutely all outgoings, including CapEx.

Triple Net Leases are regularly used when a building is specifically
constructed or substantially modified for a tenant.

17
Q

Define Economic Rent.

A

Rent sufficient to allow for outgoing costs and reasonable return on the investment to the owner.

18
Q

What is Semi Gross Rent?

A

As per Gross Lease , the tenant is responsible for increases in outgoings over the level of outgoings at lease commencement.

19
Q

What is a ratchet clause?

A

Ratchet clauses - prevent rent from going down as a market rent review.

20
Q

Spencer Test.

A

Spencer Test is satisfied if rental is reflective of rent that would be obtained, given hypothetical situation envisaged in the term Market Rent.

Case of Spencer v The Commonwealth of Australia (1907) is the origin of the modern meaning of market value.

21
Q

What is market rent?

A

RTM Whipple defines “current market rent” as The figure which emerges as the result of:
- competitive bidding,
- at arm’s length,
- where there are many participants having full information,
- who are free to enter or withdraw from the market
- who have available a range of alternatives to consider in the absence of agreement.

“willing lessor willing lessee”

The term market rent: see Spencer v The Commonwealth (1907) namely;
‒ Willing buyer (lessee) and willing seller (lessor)
‒ A reasonable time in which to negotiate a sale (lease)
‒ Values (rents) will remain static during the period
‒ The property (premises) has been fairly exposed to the market
‒ Assuming vacant possession.
‒ No account will be taken of a higher value (rent) that might be paid by a person with a special interest.

22
Q

Why are there market rent reviews?

A

Rent reviews allow the rental to be varied to keep pace with changes in the market.

23
Q

What is the different between Net Lease and Gross Lease?

A

Net Lease: the lessor recovers all outgoings from the tenant i.e. the tenant pays them directly or the lessor fully recovers them from the tenant.

Gross Lease:
The lessor receives a single gross rent figure.
Most leases provide for the lessor to recover “increases in outgoings above a base year” to allow the lessor to maintain the net return during the lease period until the next rent review.
