Property Valuation Method
Cost Approach
The most important is the value of the property = the cost of replacing a comparable property. This method estimates the cost of constructing a new replacement property at its current price, then subtract depreciation over its useful life and add the market value of land to get the value of that property. This method is for properties built with a specific purpose, such as a factory. In the case of a housing estate, a market comparison approach would be more appropriate. In situations where property prices are falling while the cost of building materials is higher, sometimes the calculated cost may be more than the market value. Therefore, the assessment in this way might change from reality.
Market Approach
This method is the best since it is essentially an analysis of market trading value. It is only possible if the market trades sufficiently to be compared directly with the appraised property. Essentially the value of our property = the price of the comparable property that others can sell. Also known as market data, considering how it looks and differs from the appraised property, there must be a sufficient number. The analysis must consider various factors that affect the value of the assessed assets with the market data, such as location, town plan, land plot size, size of the usable area of the building, building quality, etc. Therefore, analyze the value of the assets to be assessed using various appropriate techniques such as Sale Adjustment-Grid Method, Weighted Quality Score (WQS).
Analysis from Income (Income Approach)
This method analyses the value from the income of the property. It is suitable for properties that generate income from the property itself (Income Producing Property). The principle is that today's value = the sum of net income to be received in the future until the end of life. The property is valuable because it can generate income. Higher-income properties have a higher value (Location - better quality). The steps are summarized as follows:
- Estimate the total income generated by the property from all sources, taking into account the comparison of the market with the actual revenue of the assessed property.
- Subtract unused debt capacity or bad debts based on facts and market trends.
- Deducting other expenses such as operating expenses, taxes, insurance, management, maintenance charges will give you net income.
- To calculate the rate of return on the investment from the property, bring net income into the formula 'V = I / R' where 'V' is the property value 'I' is the net income, 'R' is the rate of return.
Hypothetical Development Method or Residual Method
This method serves to assess undeveloped land or projects that have not yet been completed. According to current market conditions, the potential of the land or project is assessed by assuming that the development is the most useful and best (Highest and Best Use). Assumptions must be consistent with laws, finances, markets. The physical condition of the property, and all development costs, such as building costs and land value, must be reduced. Alternatively, the worth of a project that has already been completed can be calculated using the formula'Project Value / Construction costs / Other costs = Other costs = Land value (cost of land that can be developed)'.
Methods of assessment by statistical modelling (Computer-Assisted Mass Approach)
CAMA is a branch of comparative market assessment using MRA (Multiple Regression Analysis) statistical modelling to help, widely used to assess hundreds of thousands of land plots at once, for example, expropriating or land arranging.
