What is a retail 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 some retail premises can 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 retail property is worth to existing owners, banks, lenders or insolvency practitioners. Trade-related valuations for retail properties are completed in line with RICS Global Standards to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
“A retail property's true market value extends beyond its physical structure to encompass its trading potential. A trade-related valuation provides lenders, buyers and sellers with comprehensive insight, ensuring informed negotiations and evidence-based decisions that reflect real-world performance.”
When will I need a trade-related valuation for a retail property?
Trade-related valuations are needed whenever a retail trade-related property is being acquired. The buyer and seller will benefit from having a retail property valued via this method because it allows for fairer negotiations based on actual trading performance.
Lending institutions also often utilise this service when making secured borrowing decisions for clients hoping to buy or refinance a retail property. 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.
