Q

What is the difference between an assumption and a special assumption?

A

An assumption is something that is taken to be true without the valuer needing to verify (e.g., we have assumed the services at the property are in working order). A special assumption is something that is known not to be true, but is taken as true for the purpose of the valuation (e.g., vacant possession when property is occupied)
