Q

Layer and Hardcore method

A

Used for over rented investments where the passing rent is more than the market rent

Income flow divided horizontally

Bottom slice = is market rent

Top slice = Rent passing less market rent until next lease event

It is used for OVER RENTED investments.
Income flow is divided horizontally. The hardcore (MR) is valued into perpetuity at a net initial yield.
The top slice (PR-MR) is capitalised to next lease event at a net initial yield with a risk adjustment.

NO PV of £1 needed as both layers of income are being received NOW.

Q

Discounted cash flow (DCF)

A

Involves projecting estimated cash flows over an assumed investment holding period

Plus an exit value at the end of that period.

The cash flow is then discounted back to present day at the discount rate (aka IRR) that reflects the perceived level of risk

Q

DCF process

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

A

The sum of the DCF of the project

Can be used to determine of an investment gives a positive return against the target rate of return

If NPV is positive then the investment has exceeded the investor’s TRR

When the NPV is negative, it has not achieved the TRR

Q

Investment Value (Worth)

A

Investment Value (Worth)

The value of an asset to a particular owner or
prospective owner for individual investment or
operational objectives.

32
Q

Profit Method

A

Profits Method

Used for valuations of trade related property.

Used where the value of the property depends upon the profitability of its business

Examples –> i.e pubs, petrol stations, hotels, self storage, health care.

It is used when the physical buildings are normally only sold as part of a business and typically when the buildings are
constructed solely for that type of business and could only be used for an alternative business after substantial alterations.

Methodology:

  1. Analyse the accounts/annual turnover (EBITDA)
  2. Assess the potential gross profit/sustainable
    earnings that the property will make
  3. Deduct costs to give estimated profit (FMOP)
  4. Capitalise profit at an appropriate yield or
    multiple with reference to comparable
33
Q

The Depreciated Replacement Cost Method

A

Known as the Contractor’s method

Used for specialised assets that are rarely, if ever, traded on the open market, limited/unavailable comparable available

Specialist properties include lighthouse, sewage works, oil refineries, schools, hospitals

34
Q

RICS definition of DRC

A

RICS definition:

“The current cost of replacing an asset with its modern equivalent asset less
deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and
optimisation.”

35
Q

RICS Guidance Note on Depreciated replacement cost

A

RICS Guidance Note on Depreciated replacement cost method of valuation for financial reporting (November 2018)

36
Q

DCR Methodology

A

1a. Calculate the cost of constructing a replica/simple substitute building (the modern equivalent asset - MEA)

1b. Depreciate the cost of the MEA to reflect the current asset

  1. Calculate the cost or value of an equivalent parcel of land
  2. Add the two values together
37
Q

Residual Method
–> used to calculate the Land Value

A

Establish the value of land on the valuation date using current market assumptions

It is the amount a developer SHOULD be prepared to pay for a site

38
Q

▪ Establish the viability / profitability of a development from a known land value

Provides guidance as to the viability of the proposed development

39
Q

Difference between a residual and a development appraisal

A

Development appraisals have a role within the valuation of development sites, but it should be remembered they are two different activities

40
Q

Calculating Land Value (Residual Appraisal)

A

GDV (Gross or Net Development Value)

LESS DEVELOPERS PROFIT
–> Calculated as either a % on development costs (including acquisition of the land, fees and finance) or as a % of the GDV or NDV

LESS TOTAL DEVELOPMENT COST
–> professional fees, demolition, Build costs, planning fees, contingency

EQUALS LAND VALUE (‘Residual Lane Value’ (RLV)

41
Q

Land value

A

Known as the ‘Residual Lane Value’ (RLV) being what is left from the value of the scheme less total development costs.

It is the amount a developer SHOULD be prepared to pay for a site

42
Q

Calculating Development Appraisal

Calculating Profit – where we know the cost of the land already

–> GDV - DEV COST = PEV PROFITS

A

Establish the viability / profitability of a development from a known land value

Gross or Net Development Value
(* Value of completed development)

Less total development costs
(* Build costs, planning & professional fees, demolition and contingency)

Equals DEVELOPERS PROFIT

Q

Zoning

A

A valuation technique, not a method of valuation ( Zoning is NOT a method of measurement )

Rationale - the rental value of the property reduces away from the street - front section of the shop is most valuable

Zoning is traditionally used for valuing retail property, specifically high street units where the retail frontage is particularly valuable.

Halving back principle with 6.1 meters or 20 foot zones

Zoning is not typically used for larger retail units as it would skew the zoned analysis
