Q

Explain the term and reversion process

A

Term capitalised until next review (remaining term)
-> passing rent x YP @ capitalisation rate (yield)

Reversion to market rent valued in perpetuity at a reversionary yield
-> MR x YP perp @ reversionary yield
-> PV it back for term length at reversionary yield

Q

How do you undertake a hardcore and topslice valuation

A

Income flow divided horizontally -> combines bottom slice and top slice to give market value

Bottom slice - passing rent capitalised into perp (at lower yield due to lower risk)

Top slice - top slice rent is capitalised from reversion into perp -> less secure so higher yield

Q

What is a DCF?

Q

If the property is complex and explicity wanted to include assumptions not included in the yield, such as long marketing periods

64
Q

Give some examples of when you would use DCF

A
  • Large multi-let properties with frequently changing income
  • Phased development projects
  • Alternative investments
  • Short leasehold interests and properties with income voids or complex tenures
65
Q

What is the method for DCF?

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

66
Q

How does term and reversion and DCF differ?

A

DCF is useful to value multi-lete properties with frequently changing rental income

Term and reversion is a simplified DCF prcoess whereby only two time window are considered, the term and the reversion

67
Q

How would you value an under-rented investment property?

A

term and reversion

68
Q

How would you value an over-rented property?

A

hardcore/ layer method

69
Q

What is GPV?

A

Gross Present Value
GPV is the worth to the investor

70
Q

What is NPV?

A

Net Present Value (GPV - purchase price)

  • Sum of the discounted cash flows of the project
  • used to determine if an investment gives a positive return against a target rate of return
  • NPV is positive = investment exceeded target rate of return
  • NPV is negative = not achieved target rate of return
71
Q

What is IRR?

A

Internal Rate of Return
- The rate of return at which all future cash flows must be discounted to produce an NPV of 0
- Determines the profitability of a potential investment

72
Q

What is YP?

A

Years Purchase
- amount yielded by the annual income of the property

73
Q

What is YP in perp?

A

Years Purchase into Perpetuity
- income of the property where a stream of cash flows continue indefinitely

74
Q

What is PV?

A

Present Value
- Present Value is the current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return

75

Basic principle is thatthe value of the property depends on the profit generated from the business, not the physical building or location

79
Q

What is required to undertake the Profits Method?

A

Accurate and audited accounts (if possible for last 3 years) -> audited accounts superior to management accounts

  • use estimates / business plan if needed for a new business
  • Adjust for maturity of business and any unacceptable or exceptional items of expenditure

80
Q

What is the simple methodology for the Profits Method?

A

Annual turnover (income received)
less costs / purchases
= gross profit
less reasonable working expenses
= unadjusted net profit
less operators remuneration
= adjusted net profit = Fair Maintainable Operating Profit

  • Can be expressed as the EBITDA
  • Capitalised at appropriate yield (YP multiplier) to achieve market value
  • Cross check with comparable sales evidence if possible
81
Q

What is fair maintainable trade?

A

The level of trade that a reasonably efficient operator would expect to achieve on the assumption that the property is in good repir and suitably equipped

82
Q

What is fair maintainable operating profit?

A

The analysis of accounts (profits method)

83
Q

How do you calculate a tenants proportion of rent in a profits valuation?

A

A % of the net operating profit, or divisible balance, is taken to arrive at the Market Rent

Usually at 50%

84
Q

What is EBITDA?

A

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, depreciation and Amortisation

Calculated by adding interest, tax, deprecitation and amortisation to net income

85
Q

What is EBITDA?

A

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, depreciation and Amortisation

Calculated by adding interest, tax, deprecitation and amortisation to net income

86
Q

How do you calculate divisible balance?

A

The divisible balance is the amount to be shared between the tenant and the landlord (tenant as gross profit and remaining as rental value to the landlord)

  • Calculation is therefore -> gross profit of the hereditament minus working expenses = divisible balance
87
Q

What accounts would you review for a profits valuation?

A

Profit / loss account -> audited accounts

Need to see turnover and net operating profit (turnover minus expenses, such as purchases, wages, utilities, repairs, insurance, rates, general expenses)

Is Residual Valuation and Development appraisal the same?

A

No, they are two different activities -> development appraisal have a role in residual valution of development sites
