Q

What is the investment method?

A

The investment method is used where there is an income stream to value, i.e. the property is tenanted.

The rental income is capitalised to produce a capital value.

Q

What are the methods for determining an investment value?

A
  • Term and Reversion (under-rented - MR greater than PR)
  • Hard core layer (overrented - PR more than MR)
  • Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) - cashflow is explicitly modelled incorporating a wide range of valuer-inputted assumptions.

Q

Explain how you would undertake an investment valuation (Term and Reversion).

A

An example would be MS where I undertook an investment valuation to determine capital value

  • desktop study of the parade gathering information (tenancy schedule)
  • no access to the building, used measurements provided by the investment agent
  • Undertook market research using Costar collecting rental and sales evidence

Identified yield and MR (greater than the passing).

Term and reversion approach capitalising the term to the next lease event and the MR valued in perpetuity at a reversionary yield.

Provided to my supervisor before being sent to my client

Q

What is the hard core layer method?

A

Used for over rented property

  • 2 layers of income
  • bottom layer is more secure and is received into perpetuity
  • top layer is the riskier element as it compares the difference between the passing rent and market rent
  • Top layer is also valued into perpetuity but at a higher yield to reflect the greater risk

Q

How does a Term and Reversion differ from a Hard Core Layer?

A

T+R - Under rented
HCL - Overrented

  • We still assume that all rental cash flows are received into perpetuity when were looking at hardcore/layer method
  • Do not use of YP Single Rate
  • We separate the rental income on a horizontal basis

(Still traditional valuation but only value to the first reversion only

Still use an All Risks Yield)

57
Q

What is a term and reversion?

A

Considers 2 blocks of income

  1. term which is the passing rent received until the next lease event (RR, Lease Exp)
  2. reversion is the future black of income received after the term at a higher rent
58
Q

What are the 3 types of yield application?

A
  1. Traditional - Term secure (yield adjusted down by 0.5/1%)

62
Q

What is a running yield?

A

Yield at one moment in time

(the annual income on an investment divided by its current market value)

63
Q

What is a DCF?

A

Discounted cash flow is a growth explicit method of investment valuation

  • Involves projecting estimated cash flows over an assumed investment holding period plus an exit value at the end of the lease.
  • Usually arrived at on an ARY basis
  • Cash discounted back to the present day at a discount rate that reflects the perceived level of risk
64
Q

When would you use a DCF?

A

Where the projected cashflow are estimated over a certain period:

  • phased development projects
  • Non standard investments (21 year RR)

-Properties with income voids / complex tenures

65
Q

What is the RICS GN on DCF?

A

Discounted cashflow for commercial property investments

66
Q

A
  1. Estimate cashflow (income less expenditure)
  2. Estimate exit value at end of holding period
  3. Select discount rate
  4. Discount cash flow at discount rate
  5. Value is the sum of completed discount cashflow to provide NPV
67
Q

What is NPV?

A

Net Present Value
-Sum of discounted cash flows of a project

  • Used to determine if an investment gives a positive return against a target rate of return

** positive NPV - exceeded investors target return

** Negative NPV - not achieved investors targeted rate of return.

68
Q

What is the Profits Method of valuation?

A

-Used where the value of the property depends upon the profitability of a business and trading potential i.e. pubs, petrol stations, hotels.

(trade related property)

Value depends on profit generated from the business not the property / location.

69
Q

What is the methodology of the profits method?

A

Simple answer annual turnover - working expenses = FMOP

Apply and all risks yield to capitalise

**cross check with comparable sales evidence

—-full break down below—-

Annual turnover (income received)
- less costs / purchases
= Gross profit
- less reasonable working expenses
= unadjusted net profit
less operators costs (wages / services)

= adjusted net profit known as fair maintainable operating profit

70
Q

What information do you need / what is considered when undertaking a profits method valuation?

A
  • Must have accurate and audited accounts for 3 years
  • Use estimates / BP if new business
  • adjust for maturity of business and any unacceptable items of expenditure.
71
Q

What is the residual method of valuation?

A

The residual land value is derived from the value of the completed development (GDV)

  • minus the development costs,
  • developer’s profit
72
Q

What is a development appraisal?

A

A tool to financially assess the viability of a development scheme

Can be used to:
- Establish residual site value

  • Assess profitability of proposed scheme
73
Q

What is the calculation for a Land value using the residual method?

A

GDV - TDC - Developers profit = Land Value

(GDV - Gross Development Value

TDC - Total Development costs)

74
Q

What is GDV?

A

Gross Development Costs

Value of a complete building / project

75
Q

What is the methodology for a Residual Valuations?

A
  1. Determine the GDV
    *Use plans to determine size / use comparable to determine a MR and (less management costs) and a ARY
  2. Capitalised to obtain MV
  3. Total development costs deducted from valuation (demolition, build costs, marketing + letting, contingency costs, planning)
  4. Developers profit i.e. 15% GDV
  5. GDV - TDC - Profit = Land Value
  6. Cross check valuation of comparable sites.
76
Q

What are the 3 elements of finance associated with

A
  • Site purchase
  • Construction costs and associated costs
  • Holding costs until disposal
77
Q

What is the developers profit?

A
  • % of GDV or total construction costs (15-20% depending on risk)
78
Q

What are the methods of development finance?

A

2 main methods

  • Debt finance
    Lending money from a bank or institution
  • Equity finance
    Selling shares in a company or JV partnership or own money used
79
Q

What is a joint venture?

A

When 2 or more parties join to develop

80
Q

What is a forward sale?

A

Where a completed scheme is pre-sold to either a developer or occupier.

81
Q

What is an overage?

A

Arrangement made for sharing any extra receipts over and above the profits expected as agreed in a prearranged formula

(e.g. shared between land owner and developer)

82
Q

What is a profit erosion period?

A

The length of time it will take for a development to be eroded by holding charges following the completion of the scheme (i.e. interest or loss making)

83
Q

What are the limitations of the residual valuation and finance modelling?

A
  • Importance of accurate inputs / information
  • Residual val doesn’t consider timing of cashflow
  • Very sensitive to minor adjustments
84
Q

What is sensitivity analysis (residual val)?

A
  • Required for key valuables such as GDV, build costs and finance rate to show range of values
85
Q

What are the 3 forms of sensitivity analysis (residual val)?

A
  1. Simple (key variables - yield, build costs)
  2. scenario (change development timing / modifying design)
  3. Monte carlo simulation (probability software)
86
Q

Is there any guidance on the residual valuation / DA?

A

RICS Professional Standard - Valuation of development property 2023 (prev GN)

87
Q

What are the key takeaways of RICS PS on Valuation of Development property?

A
  • Assumptions / special assumptions clear reported in valuation report
  • Best practice to avoid a single method approach to value development property (i.e. comparison method and vice versa)
  • Best practice requires risk analysis (changes to inputs)
88
Q

What is the DRC method?

A

Depreciated Replacement Costs Method (DRC) is only used when direct market evidence is limited or unavailable for specialised property (i.e.. schools, lighthouses, docks)

  • Used for owner occupied property
  • For accounts purposes for specialised property
  • Rating valuations of specialist property
89
Q

What is the methodology of DRC method?

A

Cost of replacing an asset with its modern equivalent

Less costs for physical deterioration, obsolescence

***Should use comparable if available
(Use build costs to determine)

90
Q

How do you estimate a level of depreciation for function / economic obselcence?

A
  1. physical - wear and tear over years
  2. function - design / spec no longer fulfils function
  3. Economic - due to changing market conditions for use of asset
91
Q

Is DRC suitable for red book?

A

No, this method of valuation is not suitable for RICS Red Book Global Compliance valuations for secured lending purposes.

92
Q

When reporting a DRC what must a valuer also report?

A
  • State the MV for any readily identifiable alternative use if higher
  • If appropriate, a statement that the MV on cessation of the business would be materially lower.
93
Q

Is there any guidance from the RICS on DRC?

A

Yes, RICS Guidance note - Depreciated Replacement Cost method of valuation for financial reporting 2018

(provides range of advice)
