Understanding Commercial Property Value.

How We Value Commercial Property

For let property, we analyse the leases, the rent and how secure that income is, then apply the yield investors are paying for similar assets. We cross-check against sales of comparable buildings and units, and use a discounted cash flow (DCF) where income will change over time through vacancies, rent reviews or lease expiries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mainly three. The income (investment) method capitalises the rent at a market yield or models future cash flows in a DCF. The comparison method uses recent sales of similar property. The cost method, based on depreciated replacement cost, is used for specialised buildings that rarely sell. We often use more than one and explain which we rely on and why.

Location and access, the quality and condition of the building, the rent it earns compared with the market, how long the leases run, the strength of the tenants, and the balance of demand and supply for similar space. For warehouses, eaves height, loading, power supply and road access also matter.

Investors pay more for secure income. Longer leases, financially strong tenants, rents at or below market level and few break options usually support a lower yield and a higher value. Short leases, vacancies and rents above market level add risk and reduce value.

Market value is the internationally recognised basis used for lending, sales and most other purposes. Fair value is the accounting basis under IFRS 13 used in financial statements. For most property the two lead to the same figure, but your report must state the basis your auditor or lender requires.

Yes. We prepare fair value reports for investment property under IAS 40, revaluations of owner-occupied property under IAS 16, impairment reviews and periodic valuations for funds and REITs, with the supporting evidence auditors usually ask for.

Typically the title deed and affection plan, floor areas and plans, a tenancy schedule with copies of the leases, service charge and operating costs, details of any vacancies, recent capital works and building permits. For owner-occupied property, tell us how the space is used.

No. A reinstatement cost assessment estimates what it would cost to rebuild the property after a total loss, including demolition and professional fees. It excludes land and reflects building costs, so it often differs from market value and should not be used in its place.

It depends on the size and complexity of the property, the number of leases and how quickly information is provided. We confirm the fee and delivery date in writing before you instruct us, and agree timetables for year-end and portfolio work in advance.
