Description

The education of the real estate professional is changing and aligning itself more closely with the world of business.

This book takes a new approach to property appraisal by exploring the pricing mechanism in this changing context. It:

develops the notion of the pricing mechanism in relation to property
covers practical issues of comparison and the real problems in applying valuation theory
explores calculations – including social and environmental worth – ignored in other texts
As real estate professionals now advise both on strategic and operational aspects of built assets, they must take into account practices of other investment markets and see investors as competitors to owner-occupiers. Both owner-occupiers and investors have to assess accurately how their buildings perform but also be aware of wider sustainability issues, and social and environmental responsibilities.
