Why did you adopt Zoning?
I adopted the zoning technique because this was a retail property
RETAIL CHELSEA
Why is zoning important?
Because it attributes value to the most valuable part of the property and discounts the less valuable areas of the property the further back from the shop front you go.
It provides a good method of comparison.
RETAIL CHELSEA
How did you go about zoning the property?
I first printed off the floor plans in the office and made a plan of how to zone the property. This helped me to familiarise myself with the layout of the property and looks at the frontage.
When on site I confirmed if the floor plans matched the property, at this property they did.
I adopted 30ft zones and used my disto to measure the property.
I half backed and had Zone A, Zone B and a short Zone C at the rear of the property. I adopted A/10 for the store and staff areas.
RETAIL CHELSEA
What valuation technique did you adopt?
Investment method as the property was income producing.
RETAIL CHELSEA
What was the appropriate multiplier?
I adopted the hardcore layer technique and applied an initial yield, derived from comparable evidence.
RETAIL CHELSEA
How did you use the hardcore layer method?
I divided the income flow horizontally.
The bottom slice was the market rent
The top slice was the rent passing less the market rent to the next lease event.
I selected two yields derived from comparable evidence, the yield applied to the top slice was slightly higher to reflect the additional risk
RETAIL CHELSEA
Was the property over or under rented?
Over rented
