by Michael Blackledge
This comprehensive introduction to the concepts and
methods of valuing real estate provides information for students to progress successsfully
from basic principles to a more sophisticated understanding of the subject.
The book takes a practical rather than purely
theoretical approach and demonstrates how the principles can be applied in professional
practice with constant reference to the requirements of, and guidance provided by the
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
The traditional five methods of valuation are briefly
explained but concentration is on the practical application of the two main approaches;
the comparison and investment methods. The alternative method of valuation of discounted
cash flow, an area which has been neglected in other texts, is also covered. Further
reading is given, along with a full range of worked examples, clear chapter summaries and
further questions. Website companion material is also available.
