When valuing a mixed-use property with both retail and residential components, which approach would be most appropriate according to Australian valuation practice?

Correct Answer

D) Apply suitable approaches to each component and sum the results

For mixed-use properties, best practice is to value each component separately using the most appropriate method for that use (e.g., capitalisation for retail, comparison for residential) and then sum the individual valuations. This approach recognises that different property types have different market characteristics and valuation requirements.

Answer Options
A
Direct comparison alone, applied to the whole property as one
B
The summation approach alone, treating it as one unit
C
Capitalisation of the total rental income at a single blended rate
D
Apply suitable approaches to each component and sum the results
