Dear Sirs,
We refer to your instructions requesting us to prepare for the benefit of Barclays Bank, a valuation
report on Stand No. 12528, Olympia Extension; Lusaka; and for which we thank you.
In accordance with the instructions issued, we have inspected the property, have
undertakeninquiries necessary for purposes of this valuation, made the assessment and now have
pleasure in submitting our Report.
We understand that Stand No. 12528, including buildings and improvements thereon is the
subject of a possible credit facility to be provided by Barclays Bank, and that in accordance
with the conditions of such transactions, independent professional advice on the property’s
market value and other values is required to support the application.
1.2 Instructions
As the valuation is required to support an application for a credit facility, we are instructed
to assess the property and improvements; and advise the Bank on various matters, including:
(i) the current market value; forced sale value, and monthly rental value;
(ii) whether there are any factors that could affect the current market value if the Bank
were to sell either as mortgagees or through a receiver;
(iii) current market conditions, and current and expected trends in respect of the type of
property in the area; and whether the market value of the property is likely to
increase, remain static or decrease.

(iv) whether there is any “hope”, “marriage” or “special purchase” value attaching to the
property now or likely to arise in the future;
(v) comments on whether the property is subject to a lease, together with terms of the
letting, review dates, restrictions on usage, alienation and alteration rights, or any
clauses having a depreciating effect on marketability of the property or its value; and
whether present rent payable is in line with current market rent;
(vi) if the property is for owner occupation, are their opportunities to lease surplus space;
or is there scope to sell surplus space;

plot, accommodation, floor areas, services installations available, as well as colour
photographs;
(ii) title and ownership, annual lease charges (ground rent) and relevant statutory
consents;
(iv) age and condition of the electrical and mechanical components, type of construction
and an indication of the building likely useful economic life;
(v) whether the market value or saleability of the subject could be enhanced by
improvements to buildings, and/or their services;
(vi) planning, highway and other development considerations; and any significant
prospect of or potential for, change of use or other development of the property or
those in the vicinity which could materially affect the value of the subject property;
The Letter of Instructions makes reference to the valuation of machinery. However, we wish
to mention that there is no machinery on site, or which would fall in the category of assets.
All moveable items, including household furniture and equipment, have been excluded from
the assessment.

The valuation is undertaken in accordance with provisions of the Practice Statements and
Guidance Notes of the Appraisal and Valuation Manual published by the Royal Institution of
Chartered Surveyors which are applicable locally, and which have been adopted by the
Surveyors Institute of Zambia.
The format of reporting is in accordance with standard practice and is intended to provide, as
far as is possible information requested by the Bank, including a description of the subject,
buildings and improvements, planning permission as well as matters considered in
formulating our opinion of values. In this regard, we have attempted to follow as far as is
practical, the headings (but not necessarily to sequence) contained in the Banks Letter of
Instructions.
5thNovember2015.
The Report is not the result of a structural, soil or geophysical survey since it is not standard
practice to undertake such surveys as part of a valuation exercise, and these surveys are
therefore taken to fall outside the scope of our instructions, nor have the services and drains
been tested. We cannot therefore give any guarantees in these respects.
In accordance with standard practice, our inspection was restricted to a visual survey of the
site and improvements, taking note of the design and construction of buildings, layout of
accommodation, services available and condition and state of repair.
We have not inspected parts of the property which are covered, unexposed or inaccessible
(such as foundation walls and footings; pipe work, conduits and cables within walls, floors
and roof voids), and for purposes of assessing market and other values, such parts have been
assumed to be in a good structural repair and condition, and free from rot and infestation.
We cannot express an opinion about or offer advice on the condition of parts we did not
inspect, and apart from matters mentioned, the Report should not be taken as making any
implied representation or statement about such parts.
In the above respects only, our valuation has been carried out on the assumption that parts
not inspected are in a good structural repair and condition, do not contain any deleterious or
hazardous materials and that services function satisfactorily. No account has been taken for
inherent latent defects, if any.
Considering that the subject is a residential property, the purpose for which the valuation is
commissioned and in accordance with standard practice, we have taken measurements of
buildings over external walls, and floor areas are calculated on a gross external basis. For
purposes of conversion, one square metre is taken as equivalent to 10.764 square feet.
We have not surveyed the extent of the property to confirm beacon positions, as this is not
standard practice when inspecting a property for purposes of assessing market or other
values; unless circumstances dictate, and this aspect is therefore considered to be outside the
scope of our instructions.

However, and in the absence of information to the contrary, we have assumed that the
concrete block wall enclosing the site is erected along boundary lines and that there are no
encroachments or boundary disputes with adjoining sites.
We have relied on information obtained from the Certificate of Title as to the extent of the
site, and the land area stated in the report is as indicated in the Certificate of Title. For the
purposes of conversion, one hectare is taken as equivalent to 10,000 square metres or 2.471
acres.
A location and site/accommodation layout plan (not drawn to scale) and some pictures are
provided as part of the Report. The plans are not drawn to scale but are intended for
identification purposes only.
We have been informed by the Ministry of Lands that Stand No. 12528 is zoned for
“residential high cost” use; and that the annual lease charge (commonly referred to as
ground rent and which we are advised is calculated based on the zoning and extent of a
property), is currently set at K100.08 per annum.
For purposes of payment of rent, the year end is 30th September and for the period to 30
September 2016, rent due is K699.93 which we suggest be settled in full.
We have been provided with a copy of the Certificate of Title, and we have also made
inquiries at the Ministry of Lands to confirm title and ownership, and establish interests held
in the property; or restrictions if any, attaching thereto.
We are advised that title is a State lease, for a period of ninety nine (99) years from 1 stJune
2012; vested in PetrosNaizghi Daniel; Certificate of Title No. 180141.
In accordance with the Rating Act, No. 12 of 1997 (as amended); Stand No. 12528was listed
in the November 2007 City Valuation Roll (for purposes of levying property rates) as entry
No. 1912528, described as “Dwelling House, Servants Quarters and Premises”, with a
rebased ratable value of K560,000. However we are advised that the property has been
erroneously omitted from October 2013 Main Valuation Roll.
We are also advised that the rate levy charged for the second half of 2015 is K645.30 and the
total amount due for the period to 31stDecember 2015 is K1,810.80which we recommend be
settled in full.
Subject to the foregoing and assumptions made, and taking relevant factors into account, we
are of the opinion that values of the property and improvements would be as follows:

The figure does not reflect the rental value which will be realised from the block of
flats once construction work has been completed, and the accommodation is ready
for occupation. However, it would be expected, based on market evidence that each
unit would fetch a rent in the region of US $1,500 per calendar month.
As the date of valuation has not been specified,values are assessed as at 5 th November 2015,
this being the date of the re-inspection of the property.

2.5 Mortgages/Caveats
Save for the reversion vested in the President, we are not aware of other interests; or
mortgages registered on the property, or any unusual or onerous restrictions or
encumbrances, statutory or otherwise, likely to have an adverse effect upon the market value
of the property.
In accordance with the Rating Act, No. 12 of 1997 (as amended); Stand No. 12528 was
listed in the November 2007 City Valuation Roll (for purposes of levying property rates) as
entry No. 1912528, described as “Dwelling House, Servants Quarters and Premises”, with a

services and drains been tested. We cannot therefore give any guarantees in
these respects.
However, from the extent of our limited inspection carried out as described above, and
which we considered adequate for purposes of assessing the market and other values, we can
state that buildings are well designed and constructed, and the accommodation is in a good
condition and state of repair with no material structural defects apparent, save only for minor
items of routine repair and maintenance.The 3No Flats are under construction, work is at a

precious stones whatsoever upon or under the said land……..……......”
We have been informed by the Ministry of Lands that Stand No. 12528 is zoned for
“residential high cost” use; and that the annual lease charge (commonly referred to as
ground rent and which we are advised is calculated based on the zoning and extent of a

the scope of our instructions, nor have services and drains been tested. We cannot therefore
give any guarantees in these respects.
However, from the extent of our inspection conducted as described above and which we
considered adequate for purposes of assessing values, we can state that the property and
structures are in fairly good condition and state of repair, with no major structural defects
apparent or signs of mechanical failure, save for minor defects and items of routine repair
and maintenance.The flats are under construction and being constructed to a fairly good
standard of workmanship using permanent materials with no structural defects or signs of
mechanical failure apparent.
Located in a good part of Olympia Extension; on the corner of two roads, just off
KatimaMulilo Road. Easily accessible and well sought after area. Close to and within short
distances to Manda Hill and Arcades Shopping Centres, public bus routes and other social
amenities. Approximately ten kilometres from the City’s Commercial Centre.
The property is zoned for residential use, and improvements are designed/developed and
occupied for residential use. The property is therefore is not specialized.
Specialized properties are those which, due to their specialized nature, are rarely, if ever,
sold on the open market for single occupation for a continuation of their existing use, except
as part of a sale of the business in occupation. Their specialized nature may arise from the
construction, arrangement of the accommodation, size or location of the property, or a
combination of these factors, or may be due to the nature of the plant and machinery and
items of equipment which the buildings are designed to house, or the function or the purpose
for which the buildings are constructed.
Examples of Specialized properties include oil refineries and chemical works where
buildings are no more than housing for highly specialized plant; hospitals, museums,
libraries and other similar establishments.
Non-Specialized properties are those for which there is a general demand, and which are
commonly bought or sold on the open market for their existing or similar uses, either with
vacant possession for single occupation, or (whether tenanted or vacant) as investments or
for redevelopment.Examples properties include dwelling houses; commercial units such as
office developments, retail centres, warehouses and light industrial properties.
In accordance with standard practice, the bases of valuation we have adopted are:-
(i) to assess market value of land and the buildings - comparative method, based on
prices paid for similar properties within the area or similar locations;
(iii) to assess forced sale value for both land and the buildings - estimated restricted
realisation price (based on the market value of land and improvements, but taking
account of a restricted time frame for disposal).
An opinion of the best price at which the sale of the leasehold interest in the property would
have been completed unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of valuation,
assuming:-
(b) that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard
to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of
the interest, for the agreement of the price and terms and for the completion of the
sale;
(c) that the state of the market, level of values and other material circumstances were, on
any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of
valuation;
(d) that no account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective purchaser with a
special interest; and
(e) that both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without
compulsion.
An opinion of the best rent at which a new letting of the accommodation would have been
completed unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:-
(b) that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard
to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of
the interest, for the agreement of the price/terms and for the completion of the letting;
(c) that the state of the market, level of values and other material circumstances were, on
any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of
valuation;
(d) that no account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective purchaser with a
special interest;
MSK/Nov2015 Stand No. 12528, Lusaka (Barclays Bank & Danait Transport Ltd)
A N D E R S O N+A N D E R S O NVALUATION SURVEYORS 13
(e) a stated length of term and stated principal conditions, applying or assumed to apply
to the letting and that the other terms are not exceptionally onerous or beneficial for a
letting of the type and class of the subject property.
(f) that no premium passed and that any rent free period is in respect only of the time
which would have been needed by the incoming tenant to make the subject property
fit for occupation; and
(g) that both parties to the transaction had acted knowledgeably, prudently and without
compulsion.
An opinion as to the amount of cash consideration before deduction of costs of sale, which
the Valuation Surveyor considers, on the date of valuation, can reasonably be expected to be
obtained on future completion of an unconditional sale of the interest in the subject property
assuming:-
(a) a willing seller;
(b) that, completion will take place at a future date specified by the Client, which does
not allow a reasonable period for the proper marketing (having regard to the nature
of the property and the state of the market);
(c) that no account is taken of any additional bid by a prospective purchaser with a
special interest; and
(d) that both parties to the transaction will act knowledgeably, prudently and without
compulsion.
The cost of re-constructing buildings and improvements on a site, in the event of destruction,
in a condition equal to but not better or more extensive than the present condition.
Accordingly, our opinion of reinstatement cost assumes complete destruction of the dwelling
house and ancillary improvements; and includes an allowance for site works at a percentage
of building costs. Our opinion does not include allowances for inflation in either building
costs or labour charges. The figure does it take account of costs and fees which might be
incurred in connection with matters relating to environmental issues; or complying with
exceptional conditions which may be specified by public authorities.
The assessment does not reflect the market value of the site (land) since it is not standard
practice to insure against loss of land, and land per-se cannot, in the ordinary sense, be
destroyed unless due to substantial contamination or un-planned quarrying; or be “replaced”
except in instances of land reclamation or the acquisition of an alternative property or site.
Unless the lease is renewed for a further period, the lessee is expected, upon expiry of a term
to peacefully surrender and yield up possession of the land and improvements thereon,
subject (under the Lands Act 1995) to fair compensation being paid for the un-exhausted
improvements. The maximum interest a leaseholder can assign or transfer is therefore the
unexpired period of the lease granted.
Title to Stand No.12528 is a State lease for a period of ninety nine (99) years. In accordance
with current practice and because the Lands Act provides for renewal of leases, it is our
opinion that the registered title holder has a long term leasehold interest and the property has
been valued accordingly.
The area in which the property is located is primarily designated for residential use and the
subject is zoned according. Improvements on site are developed for dwelling purposes.
Taking into account of the location of the subject property, the extent of the site, design and
use of the improvements, level of development, current planning permission, demand for
residential property in the area, as well as the prevailing state of the economy, we are of the
opinion that residential is the highest and best use for the subject, and we have made the
assessment on this basis.
As requested by the bank, we provide under various sections of the report factual data
relating to the property.
In Section 3of the report, we have given description of the property, including location,
accommodation, services, floor/site areas (with location and site layout plans). Pictures are
also provided at Appendix III of the report
8.2 Age and Condition of Structural, Electrical and Mechanical components, Types of
Construction and Buildings Economic Life.
As mentioned earlier, we have not inspected parts of the property which are covered,
unexposed or inaccessible, and neither have we tested service installations. It is not standard
practice to undertake structural or soil surveys or detailed examination of services when
assessing market or forced sale value of a property unless evidence or circumstances dictate.
However, based on inquiries made and the inspections conducted as earlier described, we
understand that the property was initially developed over several years ago. Observations
made on the buildings review that the property must have an estimate age of 60 years old.
Buildings are constructed to a fairly good standard of workmanship using permanent
materials, and existing service installations have been installed to expected standards.
Fittings and finishes are to a fairly good standard and in addition, we have not observed
material or structural defects or signs of mechanical failure, although there are minor defects
and items of routine maintenance.
We understand this to mean the period within which the structures and ancillary fittings as
we as service installations will remain economically functional, taking account of the land
MSK/Nov2015 Stand No. 12528, Lusaka (Barclays Bank & Danait Transport Ltd)
A N D E R S O N+A N D E R S O NVALUATION SURVEYORS 15
lords objectives and market expectations. We assume that this has relevance to the term of
the credit facility, although the period has not been disclosed.
We can mention that the improvements are built of good quality permanent materials and to
a good standard of workmanship, fixture and fittings are of current standards, and there is no
evidence to suggest that service installations are non-compliant; and structures have no
apparent major structural or mechanical defects.
Based on our inspection conducted as earlier described, and the standard market
expectations, we are of the opinion that provided normal routine maintenance is regularly
undertaken, improvements have a useful economic life spreading over many years, and
structures will remain functional for a long time.
9.0 Planning, Highway and Other Statutory Considerations, Potential for Change of Use
We are requested to advise whether there is any significant prospect of or potential for
change of use or other development on the subject or neighboring properties which might
materially affect the market value of the subject property. We believe the effect referred to
can either be positive or negative
Based on the inspections and inquiries made, there appear to be no indications that the
leaseholders intend to change the current use or have plans to undertake other development
that might affect positively or negatively, value of the subject property. In addition, the
location of the property, extent of the site and design of the improvements do not render the
site to have an alternative use which would yield a higher market value than residential. We
are also not aware of any developments in the area which might have a material bearing on
the value of the property.
Due to time and cost constraints, we do not, unless specifically instructed, commission as
part of a valuation exercise, investigations into environmental matters or issues of
contamination or pollution, and any observations we may make are expressed strictly on the
basis that we have not undertaken any formal environmental study. In the absence of
appropriate investigations and where there is no apparent reason to suspect potential for
contamination, our valuation is made on the assumption that the property is not affected.
Based on our site visits, we are not aware of the content of any environmental audit or other
environmental investigation or soil survey which may have been carried out on the property
MSK/Nov2015 Stand No. 12528, Lusaka (Barclays Bank & Danait Transport Ltd)
A N D E R S O N+A N D E R S O NVALUATION SURVEYORS 16
and which may draw attention to any contamination or the possibility of any such
contamination. Further, we have no reason to suspect that the property or adjoining sites
have at any time in the past been exposed to contamination.
We made inquiries to establish whether there are major development proposals that might be
undertaken in Olympia Extension, Olympia Park or neighboring areas, and which might
have a material effect on the market value of the property. We have been advised that there
are no major planning or development schemes designated for these areas. In assessing
market value, we have assumed that there are no major planning proposals or developments
which would have a material negative effect on the value of the subject or properties in the
area.
However, we can mention that there is current private sector investment, even though mainly
limited to redevelopment of residential units within the area and at an individual level, is
likely to improve the quality of property and create a high demand; and we are of the opinion
that as a result, market values of property in the area, including the subject will shift upwards
in the future..
When commissioned to assess property for various purposes including loan security, we are
often requested to advise whether the market value of the subject and improvements thereon
is likely to change, either positively or negatively or will remain static. As stated, there is
currently a high demand in Lusaka and nearby areas for all classes of real estate, and in
particular residential and commercial property in easily accessible and prime locations. A
high demand over the past several years compounded by limited supply, has pushed prices
substantially upwards, and high prices continue to be paid for property that become available
for sale.
The land delivery system is extremely bureaucratic, and (despite public concerns) is likely to
remain so for many years to come. Compounded with the high cost of finance, the shortage
of property in general and residential units in particular will persist for the foreseeable future
and in accordance with normal trends, this will lead to increases in prices and rentals, even
under economic difficulties.
Hope value is the element of open market value in excess of the existing use value, and
reflects the prospect of some valuable future uses of the property. As stated earlier,
considering the use for which the property is currently developed, and taking account of
planning requirements, few if any more valuable future uses can be envisaged than the
current use.

A N D E R S O N+A N D E R S O NVALUATION SURVEYORS 17
Marriage value is the latent value which would be realised by the merger or amalgamation of
two or more sites or interest in land. For instance, two adjoining parcels of land may be
worthy more as one property, than the aggregate of their separate of individual values.
The site originally comprised of only one land parcel known as Stand No. 12528. Property
neighbouring the subject are held in private hands and we are not aware of whether owners
would consider reselling the properties or an amalgamation of interest, and we are therefore
unable to comment further on this matter. Even if a merger of the subject and neighbouring
properties were likely, assessment of marriage values would only be possible if both the
subject and neighbouring properties were inspected/ surveyed and then assessed.
Special purchaser value is an element of value and above market value (more like a
premium) which a purchaser with a particular interest in the property might be willing to pay
in order to secure the site. For example, the amount by which a special purchasers offer
might exceed offer made by non – special purchasers. We are not aware of any special
purchaser value attaching to the subject now, or likely to arise in the future
The property which is the subject of the valuation including land and buildings is developed
for residential use, which use we have assumed will continue for the foreseeable future, and
we believe that alternative uses would not yield a higher market value. We have been
instructed to advice on the market value, as well as rental and forced sale value, and
reinstatement cost for insurance purposes.
Starting with the latter, the usual approach to assessment of cost is to establish current costs,
based on the nature of improvements in question. Our approach has been to establish the
type of improvements on site, their design, identify materials used and type of construction
and calculated floor areas. Taking account of changes in construction techniques and the
ease with which building materials and skilled labour can be sourced, we have the applied
current costs to arrive at the total estimated cost as reported.
There are common attributes to the assessments of market and forced sale values, both
assume a one-off transaction between seller and buyer; whereby the seller divests himself or
herself of their leasehold interest in the property.
Assessment of market assumes a normal one-off arms –length transaction, between a willing
seller and willing buyer, with each party acting prudently and not under duress, and whereby
the seller diverts himself or herself of their leasehold interest in the property, in return,
normally for a cash consideration. Under a forced sale scenario, the seller is normally
compelled to sell and the intention is to achieve a disposal quickly, and therefore time
allowed for marketing is normally unduly short.
Assessment of rental value assumes a letting of the property, by owner to tenant , with the
terms of occupation defined normally in writing (the Lease Agreement) which specifies the
right and obligations of the tenant’s otherwise limited occupation of the property.
There are four approaches which are usually adopted in the assessment of market value;-
(1) Land value by market (sale) Comparison;
(2) Property value by Market Comparison;
(3) Property value by Cost approach; and
(4) Property value by Income approach

Considering the nature and use of the subject, and as it is developed, we are of the view that
approach Nos. 1, 4 and 3 are not applicable methods to be adopted in the appraisal. The
property value by income approach is normally applicable if the property is used an income
generating property. Property value by cost approach would apply in situations where there
is no comparable evidence, for example in the case of specified properties (the subject
comprises standard ware house/workshop structures); the method usually applied as last
resort.Land value by market approach is used in instances where you land is valued as an
asset; you are valuing developmental land, in this case the option is to demolish buildings
for new development.
Subject to the foregoing and assumption made, and taking relevant factors into account, we
are of the opinion that for purposes of collateral, values of Stand No.12528,Olympia
Extension, Lusaka would be in the region of:-
(i) Open Market Value: US$284,000(Two Hundred and Eighty FourThousand United
States Dollars)
(ii) Forced Sale Value: US $250,000(Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States
Dollars)
(iii) Estimated Reinstatement Cost: US $297,000(Two Hundred and Ninety
SevenThousand United States Dollars)
(iv) Open Market Rental Value: US$2,000 (Two Thousand United States Dollars) in
respect of the Dwelling House, Storeroom and Cottage; excluding the block of flats
which is under construction
