Why is this topic important?

Commercial real estate valuation can be opaque and difficult to decipher and yet is a crucial element of today’s investment and development. Valuations are vital to a healthy property/asset market and a stable economy, forming the basis of performance analysis, financing decisions, transactional or development advice, dispute resolution, taxation and various statutory applications. Professionals who have the skillset to value commercial properties will always be in demand.

The Certificate in Commercial Valuation Methodology will advance your skills in the core valuation methods used for commercial real estate, such as the investment method and the residual method. Through interactive online learning, realistic case studies and forum interaction with our expert tutor, will help you apply the correct process and calculation for each method.

We will start by introduction to common valuation approaches, how to identify the key drivers of real estate value, and how to fit these together with skills of inspection and measurement. Building on the initial theories, more sophisticated methodology and practice will be covered that combine in the production of high-quality valuation reports.
