What is a hotel trade-related property and valuation?

Trade-related properties are those designed for a specific purpose. Therefore, they must be valued based on their trading performance, as well as the worth of their buildings and assets. As hotel premises typically fall into this category, a trade-related valuation is needed to determine their true market value.

The profits valuation method, or income approach, is used for this process, allowing the valuer to evidence how much a hotel is worth to existing owners, banks, lenders or insolvency practitioners. Trade-related valuations for hotels are completed in line with RICS Global Standards to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

"A hotel’s true market value lies not just in its bricks and mortar, but in its trading performance. A trade-related valuation provides lenders, buyers and sellers with reliable insight, ensuring informed negotiations and compliant, evidence-based decisions."

When will I need a trade-related valuation for a hotel?

Trade-related valuations are needed whenever a trade-related property is being acquired. The buyer and seller will benefit from having a hotel valued via this method because it allows for fairer negotiations.

Lending institutions also often utilise this service when making secured borrowing decisions for clients hoping to buy or refinance a hotel. What is more, trade-related valuers may be required to act as Expert Witnesses in court proceedings, with their work playing a crucial role in testimonies.
