Which of the following is NOT one of the three main approaches to property valuation recognised by the Australian Property Institute?

Correct Answer

D) A standalone depreciation approach

The three recognised valuation approaches are comparison, cost (summation), and income (capitalisation). Depreciation is a component considered within the cost approach, not a standalone valuation method.

Answer Options
A
The comparison (direct sales) approach
B
The cost (summation) approach
C
The income (capitalisation) approach
D
A standalone depreciation approach

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The three recognised approaches are comparison, cost (summation) and income (capitalisation). Depreciation is a step inside the cost approach, not a method of valuation in its own right.
