Product Description

Product Description

This book explains the process of property investment appraisal – estimating both the most likely selling price (market value) and the worth of property investments to individual or groups of investors (investment value).


Valuations are important: they are used as a surrogate for transactions in the construction of investment performance and they influence investors and other market operators when transacting property. Valuations need to be trusted by their clients and valuers therefore need to produce rational and objective solutions.


In a style that makes the theory as well as the practice of valuation accessible to students and practitioners, the authors provide a valuable critique of conventional valuation methods and argue for the adoption of more contemporary cash–flow methods. They explain how such valuation models are constructed and give useful examples throughout.


The UK property investment market has been through periods of both boom and bust since the first edition of this text was produced in 1988 and the book includes examples generated by the different market states: for example, complex reversions, over–rented situations and leasehold examples are in ready supply and are examined fully by the authors. They have retained the book’s basic structure and thrust, setting out fundamental investment and appraisal theory in Part One of the book, but adding a new chapter on building and modelling cash flows as a precursor to the investment material in Part Three.


The heart of the book remains the critical examination of market valuation models addressed in Part Two – it remains the case that no other book addresses this issue in detail.

Good textbook 21 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
This is essential reading for anyone teaching or studying the theory of real estate appraisal in the UK, beyond an introductory level. The two authors made a significant contribution to the debate about valuation methods which took place through the 1980s and 1990s. They are therefore well placed to comment on the development of these methods and show how the the techniques that are recommended today evolved through that debate, from the traditional approaches which were in use into the 1970s.

The book is very UK specific. Typical UK leases are on full repairing and insuring terms (FRI) so there are few, if any, deductions from the gross to the net rent. This means that UK appraisals lend themselves to short cut methods not involving a full DCF analysis. Those operating in other markets are unlikely to be familiar them. Also the UK practice of having upward only rent reviews creates the valuation problem of "over-renting" which is less likely to be encountered in other markets.
