Major Factors That Influence Property Valuation

Following are some major factors that influence property valuation:

Location

The location of the property is a major factor influencing the value of the property. The properties situated in commercial areas have a higher valuation than other properties situated in other localities. The property brokers are found to charge higher rates for properties located in urban and developed areas as compared to properties located in rural and less developed areas. The properties developed on freehold land have higher valuation as compared to the property constructed on lease hold land.

Structure

The type of raw material used in the construction of the building, the design of the property, and the life cycle of the property act as an important factor. The valuation is based on factors such as the wages to labour, cost of raw material, nature and height of the building, etc.

Amenities

The properties which are sold with attached facilities like good telecommunication lines, water reservation, electricity connections, etc and other infrastructural facilities such as swimming pools gym, park, clubhouse, general grocery stores and community center, etc come with high monetary value as compared to the properties with no additional amenities.

Infrastructure

Infrastructural development is one of the most important factors which influence property valuation in India. The availability of services such as well-constructed roads, airports, railway stations, markets, etc near the property increases the worth of the property. This helps in understanding as to why properties built near public entertainment places, business offices, schools and colleges, etc have a higher value as compared to the properties built in remote places with fewer facilities.

Availability of Land

The cities where there is ample space for the construction of properties for residential and business purposes, have lower property values as compared to the places where the availability of land is a bit scarce.

Demand and Supply

Demand and supply are the major factors affecting an economic sector. The real estate sector is one of those sectors which get influenced by demand and supply. If in an area, the supply of property decreases, the value of the property increases. Whereas if the supply increases the value of the property decreases. Factor such as population in a specific area affects the demand for the property. In cases of demand in this sector, if the demand increases, the value of property increases whereas if the demand decreases, the valuation of the property also decreases.

Who Carries Out a Property Valuation?

The institution of valuers is a national body established for regulation and providing licenses to the valuers. A competent person who has attained a degree from the Institution of valuers has the authority to carry out property valuation in India. Such professionals are required to get a license from the state authority as well before starting the valuation of properties.

Valuers prepare a report stating several details of the property along with pictures and a plan of the property to the seller of the property. The valuation report contains information such as:

  • Location of the property
  • The number of floors and rooms in the property
  • Measurement and boundaries of the site
  • The present condition of the property
  • Structural defects, if any
  • Associated risks and benefits, if any, etc.

Different Valuation Methods

The valuation of a property involves various factors influencing the decision. Factors such as ease to local transport facilities, access to the market, quality of the property, etc affect the value of the property. Some properties having quality structure might have a lower value due to their location whereas a small property might have a higher value due to its location.

The properties built near Special Economic Zones or developed areas have high value than a property located in an unsafe area of a city. The below-mentioned methods are the methods which can be used to evaluate a selected property based on the nature, location and purpose for which the property will be used.

Comparison Method

This method is used when a buyer buys a property with the intention of living in the same property. Under this method, a valuer considers the market value of existing properties in that area and forms a valuation report. It is one of the most common methods of the valuation if the property is being purchased for residing purposes.

Profits Method

Profit is the main aim to be achieved while running a business. If a person wants to rent out, purchase or lease out a property for business purposes, then the evaluator evaluates the worth of the property after considering the gross revenue and the expenses being incurred in the business. This method will help the buyer to save some money and earn profits.

Costs Method

There are certain situations where there are no existing properties near to the intended property to be purchased by the buyer, and then the evaluator can study and understand the average cost incurred in the purchase of land, and calculate an estimated amount of building another property in the area. This data can help in comparing the present value of the property.

Residual Method

There are certain properties in which an investor puts money for renovations and repairs so that the value of the property can be increased. Such properties bought for investments are valued using the residual method of valuation. The value is ascertained keeping in mind the future increased value of the property.

Contractors Method

Under this method, a valuer finds out the value of the property based on the theory that if the landlord demands a higher amount of rent or if there is no property available to be rented out, then the tenant may build a similar type of property.
