Valuation and investment

This course is suitable for complete beginners as well as those already with some experience in this field. It aims to familiarise you with the basic principles of property valuation and give you an understanding of the issues that can affect a valuer’s work. You will be introduced to the property market and learn about the basis and purpose of valuation, identifying the concepts of value used by professionals in this domain as well as recognising the situations where you will be required to carry out different types of valuation. You will learn how to investigate and analyse data to assist with valuations and isolate the most relevant factors to arrive at an accurate value. This involves studying the standardised methods of measurement and appreciating the importance of the relationship between lease obligations and rental income.

The study of this course is supported by a range of learning activities designed to suit the different learning styles of students. These activities link directly to the study material and are designed to give students the opportunity to apply their understanding of the topics covered and provide contextualised examples for them to practice valuation calculations. This will lead to a deeper understanding of the issues that a valuer faces in professional work. It is strongly recommended that students undertake and complete the learning activites at the times that will be proposed. The learning activities do not form part of formal assessment; however, many of the activities will provide students with relevent preparation for the exam, which is the main end of course formal assessment.
