Valuation Flashcards
Tell me what the 5 methods of valuation are.
- Comparable
- Investment
- Residual
- DRC
- Profits
Tell me about how you would value a building using the profits/contractors/investment/comparable/residual method of valuation.
- Comparable - Comparable evidence is researched and selected on basis of similarity to subjects eg type, size, condition etc. Adjustments are then made to the sales to account for differences and a value is picked
- Investment - The investment method involves assessing market rent and a market based yield. The rent is then capitalised using the yield to establish the capital value.
- Residual - Involves establishing the GDV of a development. Development costs and profit are then deducted to establish the land value.
- DRC - Involves assessing the cost to replace the land and the building with a modern equivalent, including all associated costs and then making appropriate deductions for depreciation and obsolescence.
- Profits - Involves establishing fair maintainable operating profit (FMOP) capable of being generated by a reasonably efficient operator. This is based upon assessment and analysis of fair maintainable turnover. A market based profit multiplier is then used to convert FMT into a capital value.
How do you decide which valuation method to apply?
It depends on what type of property you are valuing
When and why would you use one of these methods?
- Comprable method - Used for straight forward properties were there is comparable evidence
- Residual method - used for development properties
- Profits method - used for properties where the major value component of the property is driven by the profitability of the business that occupies the building
- Investment method - used from investment properties that are held for their income stream
- DRC - used where there is no active market for the asset being valued due to the specialist nature of the property

Summary of Experience
- Home Report in Cove - Captured various details during inspection such as floor area, accommodation, level of finish and condition. Used online database to find comparables for property, conducted analysis and reached a value.
- Home Report in Hayfield Crescent - property was a ‘Tee-Beam’. Property was formally defective and still faces heavily restricted lending. Purchaser was most likely going to have to be a cash purchaser and this would need to be reflected in value. When searching for comparables I ensured I selected properties of similar construction and branched out to other PRC properties such as Whitson Fairhurts.
- Valuation on South Anderson Drive - client was looking to extend and renovate property and wanted to know value on completion of works. Client provided me with various pieces of data such as plans and specifications. When searching for comparables I looked for ones that reflected the properties increased floor area and level of finish.
What are your level 3 examples?
Summary of Experience
- MVR in Mayfield Gardens - Valuation was for short term finance and applicant was planning to carry out works to property. Lender provided me with scope of works and asked for current market value and market value on completion of works. Also requested we comment on works provided. Advised the lender that the works did allow for a slight uplift in value, they didnt allow for a massive uplift in value.
- Development Valuation in Newmachar - Valuation of a development oppurtunity as client was looking to sell it. Site had planning permission to convert agricultural shed into two semi detached dwellings. Conducted a residual valuation and then used a comparable valuation at end to cross check residual value.
- MVR in Bucksburn - Valuation of new build property. Lender requested that we value property as second hand which differs from other lenders that request value as new. As purchase price was for property as new, the value as second hand was lower. I advised the lender that the value reflected the property if it was sold on the second hand market and was therefore lower than the purchase price. Advised the lender than if the value was to be as new-build, it would likely be higher than second hand.
When would each method of valuation be employed?
Valuation - Level 1
- Comprable method - Used for straight forward properties were there is comparable evidence
- Residual method - used for development properties
- Profits method - used for properties where the major value component of the property is driven by the profitability of the business that occupies the building
- Investment method - used from investment properties that are held for their income stream
- DRC - used where there is no active market for the asset being valued due to the specialist nature of the property
Can you tell me the basics of each method of valuation
Valuation - Level 1
- Comprable method - involves gathering sales of similar properties that have similar characteristics to the one being valued. You then carry out an analysis of the comparables and make adjustments to reflect differences.
- Residual method - Involves establishing the GDV of a development. Development costs are then deducted to establish the land value.
- Profits method - Involves establishing fair maintainable operating profit (FMOP) capable of being generated by a reasonably efficient operator. This is based upon assessment and analysis of fair maintainable turnover. A market based profit multiplier is then used to convert FMT into a capital value.
- Investment method - The investment method involves assessing market rent and a market based yield. The rent is then capitalised using the yield to establish the capital value.
- There are two traditional methods used that vary depending on if the property is under or over rented. For over rented properties, a hardcore and topslice is applied. For under rented a term and reversion is used.
- DRC - Involves establishing the cost of land, build costs to replace the asset with a modern equivalent and then making an allowance for deterioation and obscelence
