The Main Information Entities

Provides a repository for maintaining pertinent details for properties and tenants.

Properties

Record pertinent identification and classification details.

Identify the different types of space and their projected market rentals.

Enter projected operating expenses from a checklist.

Capital expenses can be entered.

Local authority values, town planning details, book values and previous valuation estimates are recorded to support the analysis.

Tenants

Caters for tenants with multiple leases over multiple areas and with multiple rentals and operating cost recoveries.

Tenant rentals are automatically escalated during the lease period.

Rentals can be automatically reverted to prevailing market rentals on expiry or after a specified vacancy period, even if the lease is over multiple areas (with different market rentals pertaining to each).

Rentals and operating expense recoveries can be entered either as gross amounts or rates/area.

Operating expense recoveries are automatically calculated as:

• Fixed (pre-determined) escalated amounts.
• Based on pro-rata share of operating expenses.
• Based on pro-rata share of increases in operating expenses.

Alternatively, operating expense recoveries can simply be entered as a percentage of the projected operating expense.

Tenancy schedules show pertinent lease details at any point in time, together with prevailing market rentals and escalations.

The Processes

Cash flows are generated with user specified variables for number of years cash flow, capitalisation and discount rates, vacancy factor, period of capitalisation, etc.

Cash flows can be produced for up to 20 years.

In a single pass, property market value estimates are calculated according to these methods:

• General Discounted Cash Flow.
• Capitalisation of Year 1 Income (using Actual rentals).
• Capitalisation of Year 1 Income (using Market rentals).
• Opportunity Cash Flow.
• Top Slice Method.

Print cash flows for selected annual or monthly periods in detail or consolidated format. The detail reports allow every assumption to be audited — the assumptions and projections do not disappear into a 'black box'.

Summary reports show value estimates according to all methods plus your own estimate.
