A commercial property has passing rent of $180,000 per annum with annual reviews, but market rent is assessed at $220,000 per annum. The lease has 8 years remaining with a quality tenant. How should this rental situation affect the capitalisation approach valuation?

Correct Answer

B) Use a term and reversion approach with different rates for each period

The term and reversion method is appropriate when passing rent differs significantly from market rent. This involves capitalising the contracted rent for the lease term, then the market rent for the reversion period, using different capitalisation rates reflecting the different risk profiles.

Answer Options
A
Capitalise the passing rent for the entire term using a single rate
B
Use a term and reversion approach with different rates for each period
C
Capitalise market rent immediately as it represents true value
D
Average the passing and market rents over the lease term

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The term and reversion method is appropriate when passing rent differs significantly from market rent. This involves capitalising the contracted rent for the lease term, then the market rent for the reversion period, using different capitalisation rates reflecting the different risk profiles.
