ValuationCapitalisation ApproachHARD

A valuer is determining the capitalisation rate for a retail property investment. The rate should primarily reflect which market factors?

Correct Answer

C) Rates drawn from comparable investment sales, adjusted for risk

Capitalisation rates must be market-derived from analysis of comparable investment property sales, reflecting investor behaviour and risk perceptions for similar properties. This ensures the rate reflects actual market conditions rather than theoretical calculations or individual investor requirements.

Answer Options
A
The owner's own target return plus the interest rate on their loan
B
The government bond rate plus a standard two per cent margin
C
Rates drawn from comparable investment sales, adjusted for risk
D
The tenant's credit rating and lease terms, with no other evidence
