The Five Methods of Valuation

This course examines in detail the five key property valuation methods: comparison, investment, residual, profits, and cost-based. It aims to develop the skills required to undertake valuations of the most common property types, namely residential offices, retail and industrial. It aims to enable you to develop a sound understanding of these methods and their application.
