Q

What is a hierarchy of evidence?

A

A hierarchy of evidence provides the ability to weigh or rank evidence collected in accordance with its relevance to the property being valued. The valuer would need to use a wide range of sources of comparable evidence. The best quality comparable evidence is sales evidence from the exact property taken from the Land Registry (good source), down to similar properties nearby and then transactional evidence from properties further afield.

To promote globally recognised standards and guidelines for all valuations undertaken to follow, to reassure clients.
26
What was the premium derived from your client being special purchaser of the land?

27
What is lotting and why might it be undertaken?
Lotting is the process of dividing land into several individual parcels to arrive at separate values which may derive a higher value, if sold on the open market. Often, larger, bulkier properties are of less desirability in the market and so would face difficulty when coming to sale.
