ETM 3409 Intro To Valuation : Intro To Valuation

The Valuers Role

The primary concern of the valuer is to estimate the market value, not to determine the market value.
A valuer is required to value property, which is to find a market value when the market transaction for the property has yet to take place.



The services of valuer may be sought by anyone with an interest in, or contemplating a transaction involving land and buildings.

Value is not intrinsic but result from estimates, made subjectively by able and willing purchasers,   of benefit or satisfaction, of the benefit or   satisfaction they will derive from ownership of   the interest.
 
The valuation bases are agreed with the client prior to valuation and should be appropriate to the client’s need but cannot override statutory definitions. 

Special knowledge of laws relating to property,   knowledge of property market and knowledge   of special characteristic of a property make the services of a valuer desirable. 

There are three prime reasons
Imperfection of the property market
The heterogeneity of landed property and the interest which can exist therein.
Legal factors

Value
an economics concepts refer to price most likely to be concluded/ to be paid by the buyers and sellers of a property that is available for purchase.

PRICE

In generic term, the amount requested, offered or paid for a property

What are the differences between Value, Price and Costs?
MARKET VALUE
theoretically, Market value is “the true underlying value”.
basically the value assigned to a property relative to what it can be sold for.
does not necessarily reflect the true value of a property, only what it could reasonably be sold for.
not dependent on an actual transaction taking place on the date of valuation.
a price negotiated in an open and competitive market, where the participant act freely.
  

reflects the property’s highest and best use.
refers to cash or cash equivalent price.
significance in providing information necessary in determining an object or property's value on the open market, assuming that both buyer and seller agree to a sale,   but are under no obligation to make that sale.
can be increased by engaging in activity that causes the property or the service to be seen as having more value in the market place
