Some say, “How can you value by comparing with sale instances when full prices are not disclosed?” Valuers follow the reasons a prudent buyer follows to know the market value.
The grades of requirement of ‘Basic Functions’ are personal. But the performance for each is evaluated according to what the market values. Then the value is derived from comparable sale instances.
Sample TipReal Estate development and Valuation of Apartment
Fair market value of an apartment depends on provisions according to Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act and the analysis of the sale instances in the same or similar locality
The fair market value is derived by comparing the sale instances for the relative cost of reproduction of each component of building and amenities
Location and orientation of a flat in a building marginally affect the prices. Flats with better location and orientation get sold earlier
