11. To calculate future rents it is necessary to allow for compound interest at the estimated annual growth rate
to be added to the current market rent. This is found by using the Amount of £1 table. Thus future rents
will be:
In 5 years = £40,000 × A £1 in 5yrs @ 2%
= £40,000 × 1.1041 = £44,164 per annum
In 10 years = £40,000 × A £1 in 10yrs @ 2%
= £40,000 × 1.219 = £48,760 per annum
In 15 years = £40,000 × A £1 in 15yrs @ 2%
= £40,000 × 1.3459 = £53,836 per annum
12. PV is the inverse or reciprocal of the Amount of £1 formula. Thus if Amount of £1 (A) is found, the present
value for the same time period at the same interest rate will be 1/A or 1/(1+i)n.
20. The £300,000 will not be received for 2 years. Thus, its present value today at 9% all-risks yield will be:
£300,000 × PV £1 in 2 years @ 9%
= £300,000 × (1/1.092)
= £300,000 × 0.8417
= £252,510

1. 0.04/(1.046 – 1) = 0.150762
8. This requires use of two formulae or tables from Parry’s: the Amount of £1 and the Amount of £1 per
annum.
£2,500 invested per annum for the past 9 years @ 3.75% will now amount to: A £1 per annum for 9 yrs
@ 3.75% × £2,500
£2,500 × (1.0375 – 1)/0.0375 = £26,187.50

This sum will continue to attract interest at 4 per cent before tax per annum for the next 3 years. But,
investor pays income tax at 40 per cent. Thus net-of-tax (after deduction of tax) the investor will have 60
per cent of 4 per cent interest left, that is (100 – 40)/100 = 0.6 multiplier
0.6 × 4% = 2.4% net asf rate.
So, original investment in 3 years’ time will amount to:
£26,187.50 × A £1 for 3 yrs @ 2.4% = £28,118.61
Target sum required is £50,000, so ‘shortfall’ = £21,881.39
Annual investment per annum for next 3 years to meet this target is found by: annual sinking fund (asf) for
3 yrs @ 2.4% × £21,881.39
= 0.32546 × £21,881.39 = £7,121.51 per annum

7. The return frontage will add to the value, but there is no single agreed approach on how this should be
assessed. It is possible to adopt a diagonal zoning method, working from the front corner of the unit and
using an average of the two zone A rental rates. The shop area will then be divided into triangular and
trapezium-shaped zones rather than rectangles. Alternatively, zoning can take place from both frontages
and highest figure per square metre adopted where zones overlap. However, this can lead to overvaluation.
More simply a percentage addition can be made as an ‘end allowance’ after the unit has been zoned in the
conventional fashion from the highest zone A rental frontage. It is also essential the ITZA rental used has
been derived in the same way as the method employed to value the subject premises.
Possible analysis of floor area (note 10 sq.m. deducted from zone C square measurements to allow for
non-NIA area):

Such a calculation is needed to calculate annual depreciation for accounts purposes or to find out what a
capital expenditure would equate to on an annual basis. It will be used when finding the ‘equivalent rent’
or ‘net effective rent’ for a property (as defined in RICS Red Book Valuation Information Paper No. 8:
The Analysis of Commercial Lease Transactions) from its ‘headline rent’. The headline rent is the sum
payable by the tenant, but this ignores the value of any ‘incentives’ incorporated in the lease agreement.
For comparison purposes and to find the ‘true’ market rent it is necessary to find the ‘equivalent’ rent (see
Chapter 16 for more information).

7. Analysis of comparables
The basis of this is to obtain a basic breakdown (£ per sq.m.). Then see how the comparable differs from
the subject property and adjust accordingly. The location of all the comparables is the same as the subject
building (as they are in the same road) and so no adjustment is needed for this aspect.

The all-risks yields will need to be used in the calculations, based on any market evidence that can be
obtained. The best and most direct evidence is provided by the sale of Sandown House last week.Taking
account of this evidence and the location and secondary nature of property, etc., an ARY of 11% for the
freehold and 13% for the leasehold calculations can be adopted (i.e. 2% added to freehold for leasehold in
absence of any direct leasehold yield evidence).

Thus there is a small potential ‘marriage value’ from the merging of the leasehold and freehold interests
(covered in Chapter 16). This is the release of potential latent additional value through the tenant purchasing
the freehold and then being in possession of a property that could sell for more than the combined total of
the present freehold and leasehold interests.

The ARY has been found from annually in arrear analysis of comparables and must be reused in the same
way so that devaluation and revaluation are on the same basis. The yields used in each of the other valuations
should similarly be derived from analysis using the same approach as the valuation method. For example, a
quarterly in advance yield must be found by both analysing and then valuing using this approach. The above
uses an adjusted QIA yield to find the same capital value calculated from the conventional approach. If the
same ARY was used as found from annually in arrear analysis, an overvaluation will result.

13. When comparables and subject property to be valued are on different lease terms, adjustments must be
made to bring them all on to a common basis, otherwise the comparison is not like-with-like. It is usually
simpler to convert everything to FRI (full repairing and insuring) terms, as these are the most common.

a. The landlord will view the rent collected as not net and need to deduct outgoings from it – for IRT this
will be external and structural repairs/decorations, insurance and management.
b. From the tenant’s viewpoint it is necessary to consider what the building is worth if it was sublet at
MR on IRT. A prospective tenant would be prepared to pay more than the MR calculated on FRI
terms since they are not responsible for some of the matters a tenant on FRI would be. That is they are
‘saving’ money on not having to pay out for those outgoings and this would be reflected in them being
prepared to pay more rent in the first place. This can be equated to the MR on FRI terms PLUS the
value of the outgoings they are NOT responsible for, which are those the landlord IS responsible for
summarised above. Once this is done the remaining figure will be the MR on IRT basis. Even better, of
course, is to find comparables also let on IRT basis and then it is a more straightforward comparison!
Notes:
• ‘Outgoings’ are added back to bring comparable value in line with internal repairing only terms as under
existing lease.
• Spot figures or assumptions on percentage of rental value need to be adopted as no other evidence
available.

The three appraisals produce slightly different values, but a variation of £14,000 at this value level is

Again, there is some relatively small variation in values between the different approaches. The difference of
£14,000 is not too significant at this value level (less than 1.36 per cent of lowest value found).
Conclusion: freehold market value is around £1.037 million.
6. The two open market comparables need to be analysed to arrive at the estimated market rent (MR) for the
subject building now.
Macduff House = £300000/1500sq.m. = £200/sq.m. p.a.
Macbeth House = £575000/3200sq.m. = £179.69/sq.m. p.a.
Interpolating between these figures to take into account ‘quantum adjustment’ as floor area of subject
property is 2,200 sq.m., an estimated MR of £191.60/sq.m. is taken. With 10 years until rent review on the
subject property, against five-yearly pattern on comparables, it is possible to argue that a small increase in
this amount could be used.
Note when current lease expires, it is assumed building will be relet on ‘normal’ five-yearly rent reviews and
this is reflected in the DCF analysis.

• The maximum rent which the tenant would be prepared to offer under the new lease would be
£15,400 p.a.
Conclusions
Difference between tenant’s and landlord’s figures = £15,400 – £12,000 = £3,400.
Tenant can afford to pay more than the landlord requires, so the deal is viable.
The exact figure agreed will depend on the bargaining power and negotiating ability of the two sides.
However, after negotiation, say a 50/50 split of the difference between the parties is agreed, then a rental
of around £13,700 p.a. is likely to be mutually acceptable under the new lease.
SAY agreement is reached at £13,700 p.a.
Again in this instance, both landlord and tenant are better off at the end of the surrender and renewal than
they were at the start.

Alternatively, if the rent under the new lease was fixed in advance at £12,000 p.a. and a premium payable,
the calculation would be as follows.
Conclusion
Both sides are better off with the proposed deal than at present (freeholder only very marginally) so the
transaction is viable.
The tenant gains more than the landlord (nearly £9,000 more).
If this additional gain is equally split between the two parties, then the premium payable by the tenant will
be say £4,500, payable at the time of surrender and renewal, with the new lease at the agreed initial rent
of £12,000 p.a.
3. Assumptions:
• The recent letting of a similar building provides good evidence of current market ARY at market rent:
£550,000/£6m = 9.16%.
• From comparables, market rent of subject building before refurbishment is £600,000 p.a. (4,000 sq.m.
NIA @ £150 per sq.m.) and after refurbishment will be £720,000 p.a. (4,000 sq.m. @ £180).
• Next rent review on existing lease is 3 years away.
• Full repairing and insuring lease so no outgoings need to be deducted from freeholder’s rental income.
• Under proposed lease the improvement work will be disregarded at the first rent review after 5 years,
thus the rent payable then will be the ‘unimproved’ MR and it will rise to the ‘improved’ MR at the
second review in 10 years’ time
• Leasehold interests are less attractive investments compared to freeholds and command slightly higher
ARYs; thus will use 10.5 per cent as leasehold ARY at market rent.

Note: differential yields used in term and reversion to reflect proportionally more ‘secure’ or ‘safer’ rental
incomes compared to market rent.
Note: Equivalent yield based on market evidence of 9.16 per cent and rounded down. This valuation
confirms market value found from ‘differential yield’ approach above.

Reversion
Rent receivable £720,000 p.a.
Less rent payable £600,000 p.a.
Net profit rent £120,000 p.a.
× YP for 5 yrs @ 10.50%
+ 3.0% & tax @ 30% 2.673
× PV 5 yrs @ 10.50% 0.607
= £194,719
Less costs of improvements (£750,000)
Market value (assignment value) = £300,155
SAY = £300,000

Note: term yield reduced by 1 per cent as term income a lot lower than reversionary income and so much
more ‘secure’.
Marriage value = Proposed freehold minus (Present leasehold + Present freehold) = £357,000 – (£67,500
+ £270,000) = £19,500
If parties agree to split marriage value 50/50 then price to be paid by tenant to buy out the landlord and
acquire the freehold interest will be:
Present freehold value + 50% of marriage value = £270,000 + £9,750
= £279,750 to be paid by tenant to purchase the freehold
6. Leasehold valuation
Rent receivable (market rent) £300,000 p.a.
Less rent payable £20,000 p.a.
Net profit rent £280,000 p.a.
× YP for 65 yrs @ 8.50%
+ 3.0% & tax @ 30% 10.828
Market value (assignment price) = £3,031,906
SAY = £3,030,000
Alternatives: discounted cash flow, conventional dual rate but no tax or single rate no tax as per freehold
but at higher ARY:
Net profit rent = £280,000 p.a.
× YP 65 yrs @ 9.2% 10.8339414
Market value = £3,033,503
SAY = £3,030,000

7. Analysis period needs to be decided. Could look to analyse both deals either over the next 5 years or
the next 15 years. It may be each would give a different conclusion and it would depend on the client’s
requirements as to whether they are more interested in the shorter or longer-term investment strategy.
Offer B
Rent received £105,000 p.a.
Less service charge
@ say 15% (£15,750) p.a.
Net rent received £89,250 p.a.
YP 5 yrs @ 8% 3.993
£356,375
Less legal costs (£7,350)
Value = £349,025
Note: legal costs assumed at 7 per cent of rental.
Offer B provides the significantly higher value, but offer A has better long-term security and the contribution
to the fitting-out may result in a better-presented property. The decision will depend on the requirements,
preferences and circumstances of the client, but as mentioned above, additional analysis may help them
reach a decision.

Offer B
Rent received £105,000 p.a.
Less service charge
@ say 15% (£15,750)
Net rent received £89,250 p.a.
YP 5 yrs @ 8% 3.993
£356,375
Relet at MR £95,000 p.a.
YP 9.5 yrs @ 8% 6.483
× PV 5.5 yrs @ 8% 0.6549
£403,338
Less legal costs now (£7,350)
Less legal/agents costs on relet (£14,250)
Value = £738,113
Notes: legals/estate agents fees on relet assumed @ 15% of MR. Assumed rental void of 6 months at end of
next 5 years to allow time for reletting.
Again, offer B provides the better overall value, but this time only slightly higher. It now becomes a much
harder choice between the two offers. To try to reach a final decision, a DCF analysis may help as shown
in the tables below

16 £148,007 £22,201 2.1763 £299,905 (after 15yrs)
NPV = £1,037,575
Assumption made that, at end of 15 years, investment sold and agents/legal fees incurred. These DCF
analyses again show offer B to provide the higher NPV after 5 years (substantially) and 15 or 16 years
(marginally). Thus from a purely financial viewpoint, offer B is the best, but other considerations may lead
client to choose offer A (i.e. better presented property, initial extra security of income, removal of need to
relet building in 5 years’ time). Need to present the ‘fors’ and ‘againsts’ and leave client to make the final
choice.
