Participants can value income-producing property using capitalisation and term-and-reversion methods.

• Direct capitalisation converts stabilised net operating income using market-derived yields
• Term-and-reversion method separates passing rent from estimated rental value

Participants can build a discounted cash-flow valuation model and test key investment assumptions.

• Discounted cash flow forecasts annual income, costs, capital expenditure, and exit value
• Unlevered and levered cash flows distinguished for equity and asset analysis
• Terminal value calculated using exit yield, sale costs, and stabilised income
• Discount rate built from return targets, risk premiums, and inflation assumptions
• NPV and IRR interpreted alongside cash-on-cash return and equity multiple
• Sensitivity tables test rent growth, vacancy, exit yield, and discount rate

Participants can assess replacement cost and development potential where income evidence is limited.

• Replacement cost estimated from elemental rates, quantities, preliminaries, and contingencies
• Depreciated replacement cost separates physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and external obsolescence
• Residual land value derives from gross development value and development costs
• Development appraisal schedules phasing, finance costs, contingency, profit, and taxation
• Planning obligations and abnormal costs tested before land-bid recommendations

Participants can prepare a clear valuation report with traceable evidence, assumptions and review controls.

• Valuation report states client, purpose, basis, date, interest, and scope
