Q

Langloan example- in terms of valuation how did I go about determining if there was any marriage value

A

I carried out 2 residual valuations. One with SW’s title area only and one with the combined title area. This should that the residual value for SW half at about 50k-60k and for full site £160k.

for two reason- each title area could probably only fit a spacious 1 unit on. whereas the combine land could comfortably fit 3.

SW side has higher site prep costs due to tank.
