This course will develop individual’s ability to comprehend and consider development appraisals, identify the key drivers of value (and the risk associated), as well as prepare sensitivity analysis.  All are key points required to produce professional appraisals.

Development Appraisals are widely used by developers and valuers, but what are they, and what is included in them? This course is designed to answer these questions. The trainer will detail in what situation a development appraisal is suitable, what are the key inputs, what can a development appraisal tell the valuer, and what are the pitfalls of which to be aware. 

You will be introduced to the residual method of valuation, shown when it is used, and its components. The trainer will also explore developing cash flow residuals, multi-phase development appraisals and sensitivity analysis, and will consider the differences of valuing to land value or developer’s profit.
