Valuation Flashcards
Name the five methods of Valuation?
1) Comparable Method
2 )Investment Method
3) Profits Method
4) Residual Method
5) Contractors Method (Depreciated Replacement Cost)
What are the three valuation approaches?
Income approach- converting current and future cash flows into a capital value (investment, residual and profit)
Cost approach- reference to the cost of the asset (DRC)
Market approach- Using comparable evidence available (comparable method)
Describe the Comparable Methodology of Valuation?
The comparable method is utilizing market evidence to formulate an opinion of value and has six steps 1) Search and select comparables 2) Confirm/verify details and analyse headline rent to give a net effective rent as appropriate 3) Assemble comparables in schedule 4) Adjust comparables using the hierarchy of evidence 5) Analyse comparables to form opinion of value 6) Report value and prepare file note
Describe the Investment method of Valuation?
The investment method is predominantly used when there is an income stream to value, where the rental income is capitalized to produce a capital value. The conventional method is rent received or market rent multiplied by the Years Purchased which equates to the market value. There is a focus on comparables to establish a rent or yield.
The term and reversion method is used for reversionary investments (where market rent is more than passing rent). The term is capitalized until next review/lease expiry at an initial yield, the reversion to market rent is valued in perpetuity at a reversionary yield.
The Layer/Hardcore method is used for over rented investments, where the passing rent is more than the market rent. The income flow is divided horizontally with the bottom slice representing market rent and the top slice being rent passing less market rent until next lease event. A higher yield is applied to the top slice to represent additional risk with different yields used depending on comparable evidence.
Define Net Initial Yield?
NIY is the current annual rent, net of costs, expressed as a percentage of capital value, after adding notional purchasers costs.
Explain what you know about the Discounted Cash Flow approach?
DCF valuation involves projecting estimated cash flows over an assumed investment holding period, plus an exit value at the end of that period, usually arrived at on a conventional all risks yield basis. The cash flow is then discounted back to present day at a discount rate that reflects the perceived level of risk.
Simple Methodology:
1) Estimate the cash flow (income less expenditure)
2) Estimate the exit value
3) Select the discount rate
4) Discount cash flow at discount rate
5) Value is the sum of the completed discounted cash flow to provide the NPV.
Define the market value
The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where each party had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
Define market rent
The estimated amount for which an interest in real property should be leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on appropriate lease term in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where each party had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
Define Fair value
The price that would be received to sell an asset, or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (this definition is derived from the International Financial Reporting Standards).
Define Investment Value
The value of an asset to the owner or a prospective owner for individual investment or operational objectives
