Q

When are each valuation methods required?

A

The comparable method is the most widespread valuation method, typically to assess the market rent and market value .

The investment method is used where there is an income stream to value. You will need to be able to assess rental values (market rent) and a market-based yield. The investment method can reflect income streams which are under-, rack- and over-rented by incorporating risk within the yield choice.

The profits method, or receipts and expenses or income and expenditure method, is also used for income-producing properties. However, these are typically referred to as being specialist properties, such as hotels, golf courses, petrol stations.

The residual method is typically used for property or land with development potential. The output is market value of the land and it requires valuers to make a variety of assumptions around input costs.

The depreciated replacement cost (DRC) method is used for owner-occupied or specialised property that is rarely sold on the open market. It is also known as the method of last resort.
