Property Inspection
A property inspection helps the valuer understand the physical 
characteristics of the asset.
The assessment may consider:
•  Building condition
•  Site characteristics
•  Building size
•  Layout
•  Quality and functionality
•  Access
•  Parking
•  Services and facilities
•  Improvements
Physical characteristics are considered alongside market and financial 
information.
Income and Lease Analysis
Income is an important consideration for many commercial 
properties.
A commercial valuation may examine:
•  Current rental income
•  Market rent
•  Lease duration
•  Rental reviews
•  Tenant profile
•  Vacancy
•  Lease incentives
•  Property outgoings
The quality and sustainability of income can influence the 
assessment of value.
Commercial Property Valuation Methods
Different valuation approaches may be appropriate 
depending on the property.
Common approaches include:
•  Income capitalisation
•  Discounted cash flow
•  Direct comparison
•  Summation
•  Hypothetical development or residual analysis where 
appropriate
The selected methodology depends on the property's 
characteristics and valuation purpose.
Income Capitalisation Approach
The income capitalisation approach is commonly relevant to income-
producing commercial property.
A simplified relationship is:
Property Value = Net Income ÷ Capitalisation Rate
The assessment requires appropriate analysis of:
•  Net income
•  Market rent
•  Property outgoings
•  Lease conditions
•  Market yields
•  Comparable transactions
The methodology must be applied using relevant market evidence.
Comparable Sales Evidence
Comparable sales can provide important market evidence.
A valuer may consider:
•  Recent transaction dates
•  Property location
•  Property type
•  Building characteristics
•  Sale price
•  Rental income
•  Lease profile
•  Investment characteristics
The relevance of each comparable must be assessed before it is 
used in the valuation.
Retail Property Valuation
Retail property valuation requires consideration of both the 
physical property and its income-producing characteristics.
Important factors may include:
•  Rental income
•  Lease terms
•  Tenant profile

assessment.
