The Nature of Property Valuation
Valuation is the estimation of the worth of an
interest in property for a specific purpose at a
given period of time.
There are two basic forms of Property
Valuation. These are:
(a) Rental Valuation
(b) Capital Valuation

Rental Valuation
Rental valuation is the determination of the
rental value of a property.
Rental value or rent of a commercial property is
the amount that a prospective tenant is able
and willing to pay to occupy it.
It is also the value of a real property on annual
basis.
Rent may be viewed from the perspectives of
the landlord and the tenant. To the landlord,
rent is an income, but to the tenant, it is the
cost of occupation of the property.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 3
The full rental value of a commercial property can
be determined through any of the following
methods:
By comparison with rent of similar properties
By considering rent as a proportion of turnover
of the business for which the property is
occupied
By relating rent to the cost of the property
By reference to the rent presently being paid
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 4
By comparison with rent of similar
properties
The current rental value of a commercial
property can be determined by comparing the
rent paid to occupy similar commercial
properties in the locality where the subject
property is located.
This is usually done by obtaining rental data on
commercial properties recently let in the
locality and then determining the expected
rental value of the subject property.

By considering rent as a proportion of
turnover of the business for which the
property is occupied
Because tenants view rent as the cost of occupation
of a property, the rental value of such property can be
determined as a proportion of the turnover or profit
made or expected to be made from the business for
which the property is occupied.
Since turnover or profit differs from business to
business, turnover rent will also differ according to
the nature of business which the tenant
undertakes.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 12
Example 4
A shop property in Ikeja, Lagos is available for letting. A
tenant who presently occupies an adjacent shop is willing
to expand his business. He estimates that if he occupies
the vacant shop, he will make a profit of N 1.75m per
annum. Also, he is prepared to pay 25% of his profit in
rent. How much rent does the property command as a
proportion of his profit?
Solution
Estimated Profit N 1,750,000
Proportion of turnover taken as rent 0.25
Estimated rental value N 437,500 p.a
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 13
In practice, rent payable by the tenant may not be
determined entirely from the turnover or profit of the
business carried out in the property.
Often times, a proportion of the market rent is taken as the
base rent and a proportion of the turnover (known as
turnover rent) is added to it to obtain the effective rent of
the property.
Example 5
A shop property in Minna is vacant and available for letting.
The market rent for a similar shop in the locality is N 350,000
p.a. It is estimated that N 1.3m will be earned as profit from
the business that a prospective tenant could do in the shop.
The tenant is willing to pay 15% of his profit as part of the rent
while the base rent is agreed at 80% of the market rent. What
is the effective rent for the shop?

By relating rent to the cost of the property
This method of determining rental value is
appropriate when there is no rental evidence for
similar or comparable commercial properties in
the locality where the subject property is
located.
The basis for this method is that the full rental
value of a property comprises return on the
value of land plus the return on the capital
outlay of the building. This is the same as the
sum of the annual values of the site and
improvements thereon.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 16
Example 6
Mr. Cleverguy recently purchased a building land in Kpagungu, Minna
for N 2.5m. He has built a commercial warehouse on the land. The
depreciated replacement cost of the building is N 4.6m. If the return
on the land and building are 10% and 12% respectively. What is the full
rental value of the property?
Solution
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 17
By reference to the rent presently being paid
The rack rental value of a commercial property
can be determined by reference to the rent
presently being paid by the tenant, particularly
when such rent is below the rack rental value.
In using this method, due consideration must be
given to the terms of the lease such as the
duration of the lease, rent review frequency,
repairing obligations and lease incentives such
as rent free periods and premiums.

Example 7
The rent currently being paid to occupy an office property in
Maitama, Abuja is N 9000/per annum. This rent was fixed 3 years
ago and is due for review now. The annual rental growth rate for

Capital Valuation
Capital valuation is the estimation of the exchange
price of an interest in real property.
Also, it is the determination of the future financial
benefits derived from the ownership of a property
expressed in terms of their present value.
The basic methods of property valuation are:
Direct comparison method
Investment method
Cost method
Residual method
Profits method
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 20
Direct comparison method
This method of valuation is based on the principle of
demand and supply.
It involves the comparison of the subject property with
similar properties for which transactions have already
taken place for the purpose of obtaining market data
to determine the value of the subject property.
The method also entails analysis of market
transactions to obtain data for use directly or indirectly
in the application of other methods of valuation. Such
data include all risks yield (initial yield), rent review
frequency, rental growth rate, rent free period and
replacement cost rate.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 21
The Direct comparison method relies strongly
on market data and uses statistical techniques
for analysis of the data to arrive at the market
value of the subject property.
The unit of comparison for offices, shops,
commercial warehouses and land for
commercial property development is per
square metre.
The method is not suitable for commercial
property valuation when market data is either
inadequate or non-existent.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 22
Investment method
This method of valuation is also known as the
income approach.
It is suitable for valuation of properties with
income-earning potential.
The method is based on the principle that the
value of a property to an investor depends on
the benefits which he expects to derive from
the property over a given period of time.
There is a relationship between the net income
generated by a property and its capital value.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 23
In practice, the capital value of a commercial property is
determined by discounting the future income flows to their
present values.
The summation of the present or discounted values is the
market value of the property.
The basic property investment valuation model is:

Valuation of leaseholds
Leaseholds are properties with derivative or
determinate interest. They have terminable
income streams because the interest can last
only for a term of years.
The income generated by a leasehold property is
called profit rent.
Profit rent is the difference between rent
received and rent paid.
A leasehold interest with zero profit rent has no
value.

Cost Method
The cost method of valuation is based on the
principle of substitution which states that value will
tend to be set by the cost of acquiring a similarly
desirable substitute. It assumes that cost and value
are related.
The method is appropriate for the valuation of
properties that are rarely sold or have little or no
general market demand.
The cost method is a method of last resort and
should be used only when there is no market data
for the use of direct comparison and investment
methods.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 33
The cost method should not be used for the
valuation of investment properties (i.e.
properties with income earning potential)
except such valuation is for insurance purpose.
The method is suitable for the valuation of
purpose-built schools, libraries, hospitals,
museums, churches, mosques, community or
town halls, police stations and other properties
for which there is no market and are rarely
traded.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 34
The basic inputs of the cost method are:
Replacement cost of the building
Depreciation (to allow for age and obsolescence)
Value of land (i.e. value of the site)
The replacement cost of the building is usually
determined by any or combination of the following
methods:
Bill of quantities method (also called builder’s
detailed inventory method)
Subcontractors method
Unit-in-situ cost method
Comparative market method
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 35
After the replacement cost of the building is
determined, the accrued depreciation should
be properly computed and deducted from it to
obtain the depreciated replacement cost (DRC).
The depreciated replacement cost is the current
cost of replacing an asset with its modern
equivalent asset less deductions for physical
deterioration and all relevant forms of
obsolescence and optimisation (RICS, 2017).
Thereafter, the value of land is added to the
depreciated replacement cost of the building to
obtain the capital value of the property.

the nursery section of the school and measuring
32m X 15.2m
(b) A storey building comprising classrooms, stores
and teachers’ offices used for the primary section

Residual Value
Residual value is the value of the property in its
present condition. It is the value of the site and
building, where the building is to be improved or
demolished.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 46
Gross Development Value
Gross development value is the capital value of the
developed or improved site.
Where the development would be let on completion, the
GDV is determined by capitalizing the estimated net rental
value of the property using the yield of comparable rack-
rented property investments.
Where the development would be sold on completion, the
GDV is the estimated sale price of the property.
Total Development Cost
This is the total cost incurred in the development or
improvement of the property. It comprises the actual building
cost, professional fees of project consultants, contingencies,
development finance cost, letting fees and developer’s profit.

a net office space of 2,685. Current construction cost
of similar office blocks including site preparation and
clearance are expected to average N 25000/. When
completed 3 years hence, the development will be

Profits Method
This method of valuation is a combination of
accounting procedure and the investment method of
valuation.
It is also called accounts method.
The method is based on the principle that the
market value of a property built and used for certain
types of business depends on the profits derived
from the use of the property for that particular
business. Such business must enjoy some degree of
monopoly which may be legal or factual.
11/07/2023 Dr. N. B. Udoekanem Applied Valuation for BSc EMV, Federal University of Technology, Minna 53
A legal monopoly occurs where some legal
control exists to prevent competition to the
property user from the users of other properties.
For example where a licence is required for the
pursuit of a particular trade.
A factual monopoly arises where the monopoly is
due merely to facts of location and opportunity,
other than legal control.
It is used in valuing hotels, restaurants, public
houses, amusement parks, cinema houses, race
courses, theatres, etc.
