3. Other rents of similar properties should be used where available
4. Other assesments of comparable properties
5. Opinion of value formed on actual rent and degree of comparability of other evidence
6. If no comparable evidence available subject rent evidene is givven most weight

  • less reasonable working expenses= unadjusted net profit
  • Less operators remuneration= adjusted net profit known as Fair Maintainable Operating Profit (FMOP)
  • Capitalised at appropriate all risks yield to achieve market value (For rating purposes ignore YP in perp)
  • Cross check with comparable sales if possible

A

1) . The construction (age, design, specification)

44
Q

What is IRR?

A

IRR stands for Internal Rate of Return, which is a financial metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment.

45
Q

Why is money in the future wrth less than today

A

Risk - there is a risk you might not get it.
Return - because of the opportunity cost. It cannot be invested elsewhere and produce an income if you do not have it yet.
Inflation - it will be able to buy fewer goods and services as a result of inflation. In an inflationary economy, goods and services will cost more in the future.

46
Q

Formula

Formula to calculate PV

A

1 / i (1 + i) ^ n
£1 in the future is less than £1 today.
This formula establishes the amount that needs to be invested now in order to accumulate at a rate of interest (i) for a number of years (n)

47
Q

Years Purchase (YP) formula

A

(1-PV)/i
calculates the present value of the right to receive £1 at the end of each year for n years at a given rate of interest.

It produces the capital equivalent of the right to receive an amount of income for a given number of years.

48
Q

Years purchase in perpetuity formula

A

1/i
used where an income flow is fixed or perpetual. In property valuation, it is also used where the property is at market rent because we do not project rents in traditional investment valuation.

49
Q

Years purchase in perpetuity deferred n years formula

A

1/i (1+i)^n
Sometimes the perpetual income (or market rent) will be some years away and received after a rent review.

This formula is key to the term and reversion technique and is the present value multiplied by the years purchase in perpetuity. It can be done in two separate steps for present value and years purchase but usually, a single figure is used using this formula.

50
Q

What factors impact Yields

A

lease terms, rent-free period, stepped rent, break clause,income risk, tenant covenant risk, economic and political risk

51
Q

Equated yield

A

This is also the discount rate in a discounted cash flow and the internal rate of return WITH allowance for growth. It represents the investor’s total return.
growth explicit.

52
Q

True equivalent yield

A

Valuation formulae and most traditional valuation tables assume income is received annually in arrears.

Most of the time it is actually received quarterly in advance and this affects the time value of money in the calculation.

This yield takes into account the actual payment pattern rather than the nominal one.

53
Q

What is the average % of purchasers cost

A

6%
4% SDLT
1% agent fees
1.5% legal fess
0.5% VAT
