Q

Bruton Road SM4 Why did you use the comparable and investment methods?

A
  • I utilised the comparable method due the number of arms length transactions available and therefore it was a robust methodology
  • I utilised the investment as I was providing a rental valuation and I was able to capitalise the rental income as a method to support my comparable method valuation
39
Q

Bruton Road SM4 Talk me through your investment method valuation

A
  • Capitalise the rental income
  • Freehold (income is in perp) so use formula 100/i
  • i = yield (use 5.5% - based on market evidence and lonres)
  • 100/5.5 = 18.1818 (YPperp)
  • £9000 (Annual rent) x 18.1818 = £170,000 (rounded capital value)

Leasehold example

  • (if leasehold would use YP formula YP = 1-PV/i
  • Say 100 years lease
  • £9000 (Rent) x 18.0958 (YP100years@5.5%) = £162,862
40

Q

A
  • I established the yield through my own market knowledge
  • This is influenced by the work I undertake in my patch
  • Rightmove also provides a yield for every BTL valuation I undertake, thus I am constantly assessing the yield in my patch
  • Additionally, I referred to yield data sources e.g Lonres
  • Use sales comps
  • Use agents details
  • Rent/ capital value = yield

Look at sales and rental comps (see if recently sold/let)

43
Q

Grange Road SE25 Talk me through your use of relativity graphs.

A
  • Inputted Valuation date and ULT
  • Use the average relativity %
  • Can be used to adjust long lease value of subject and comps
  • E.g. 86 (Relativity %) x £200,00 (long lease value) = Short lease value

OR

  • The relativity value can then be used to adjust comps with varying lease lengths to virtual freehold
  • Provides an adjusted comp range

A
  • Advised the valuation figure for the subject property
  • Reflecting the 75 year ULT
  • I also advised that ULT was below 80 years and this has been considered in my valuation any if the lease details were different refer back to me
    o It is understood that the unexpired term of the lease is between 70 and 85 years (see Section 3); this must be confirmed by the Conveyancer and any information to the contrary must be referred back to the Valuer as the valuation/recommendation may change. This Lease length detracts from marketability and value of the security will fall exponentially as the term diminishes; this has been reflected in the valuation.

58
Q

What do relativity curves do?

A
  • A relativity curve indicates relative leasehold value at any point in a lease terms compared to a freehold value
  • The website graphs of relativity pulls together various relativity graphs and provide an average relativity across various data sets

Valuers use such graphs to determine the value of a hypothetical leasehold interest in a property, compared to its freehold value. The graphs express the value of a dwelling held on an existing lease at any given unexpired term divided by the value of the same dwelling in possession to the freeholder, expressed as a percentage

59

Higher yield for riskier investment (eg short lease)

Lower yield for better prospects e.g. good area with value likely to rise

Rent/CV = Gross initial all risk yield

60
Q

What is YP?

A

Number of years for income to equal CV
