Data Collection

Reality Check
Interpretation
Use of data
Note: Will discuss consultation later – it is
vital and required!
Data Collection
Rubbish in = Rubbish out
All inputs MUST be sourced!
Ask for information early
Landowners and site promoters should be prepared to
provide sufficient and good quality information at an early
stage……. This will allow an informed judgement by the
planning authority regarding the inclusion or otherwise of
sites based on their potential viability.

Residential vs. commercial
Residential
Purchaser usually buying
a home they intend to
occupy themselves
One customer: Usually a
purchaser looking for a
new home.
Commercial
Purchaser usually buying
a rental stream as well
as the property itself
Two customers: Tenant
looking for suitable
premises and investor
looking for a rental
stream.
Usually valued using GIA Usually valued using NIA
What is the ‘yield’?
• The rent as a proportion of the purchase price
• There is an inverse relationship between yields
& values, i.e. a higher yield means a lower value
& a lower yield means a higher value.
• Yields are often used in development appraisals
to estimate the value of the completed
development when it is expected to be rented to
a tenant (or tenants). This consequently usually
applies to commercial property, although it can
apply to residential property where it is also
rented.
Yield example
• Offices are normally bought by investors such as
pension funds. Let us assume a pension fund
wants to buy an office when it is fully occupied
by a tenant(s)…
• The developer should have a firm idea of what
rent the building is likely to achieve e.g.
£100,000pa.
• In basic development appraisals, the initial rent
is therefore used to help estimate the
development value. The key question is
therefore how much should this rent should be
multiplied by to calculate what price a purchaser
Yield example (continued…)
• The “multiplier” is calculated as 1 / yield.
Therefore:
Development Value = Initial Rent x (1 / Yield) x
100
• Let’s assume the pension fund requires a return
of 6% pa. Therefore the value of the rented
office building as an investment is calculated as
follows:
£100,000 x (1 / 6) x 100 = £1.6m
Yield example (continued…)
• The previous scenario did not include
assumptions on future rent or prospects for
capital growth of the asset i.e. it assumed the
pension fund would receive a flat £100,000 pa in
perpetuity.
• Let us now assume the office is in a good
location with a good tenant and good prospects
for rental growth e.g. up and coming area, office
market looking healthy locally etc. With this
information the pension fund is likely to accept a
lower initial yield e.g. 5%:
£100,000 x (1 / 5) x 100 = £2m
Yield example (continued…)
• Let us now assume the pension fund are less
convinced that the rent will rise in the future and
they are worried that the tenant found by the
developer are unlikely to stay solvent or remain
in the area long term. With this information the
pension fund is likely to want a much higher
yield e.g. 10%:
£100,000 x (1 / 10) x 100 = £1m
• These examples demonstrate the inverse
relationship between yields & values. Clearly it
would make no sense for the pension fund to
pay over the odds for a riskier investment.
What affects yields?
• Risk & future growth prospects (rental stream &
capital value of property). High risk = high yield.
But, the higher the future growth prospects =
lower yield
• Low risk = lower return e.g. savings in an ISA. In a
casino you would be aiming for a higher 'yield' to
compensate for the probability of failure
• For the main investment classes Government
Bonds (gilts) are low risk whereas stocks & shares
are more high risk. Returns on property
investment tend to be in the middle, offering more
income & capital growth potential than gilts and
What affects property yields?
• The tenant - Is it a strong tenant in terms of
security of income (or rent)? Security is something
you would normally expect to pay for, perhaps by
accepting a lower initial return on your investment.
• The area - Is the location suitable for a building of
this quality? Is it declining or improving? Is the
access good?
• The building itself - What is it like? If the tenant
goes bust, how easy will it be to find a new
tenant? Do these and other lease clauses protect
your investment e.g. upward only rent reviews
etc.?

Construction
• BCIS
• Site Costs –
• Abnormals –
• Contingency –
10% to 20%
site by site
Highways, flooding
demolition, design,
decontamination etc.
2.5% Greenfield
5% Brownfield
+7% on horrible sites
Phasing and Build Rate
• Size of site
• Size of developer
• Availability of mortgages
• Pre 2007
45 to 50 per year
• Now? 30 to 35 per year
• Multiple developers
Variables
• Small Changes of cost or income can
have a huge difference in result – the
bigger the numbers the more sensitive.
– 101-100=1 but 102-100=2
– 1% change in price results in a 100%
change in outcome
• Scenarios – cost and price change
policy requirements
Building the model up
and scenario testing
• Discounted Cash Flow
– NPV
– IRR
• Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)
Monitoring Viability
By reference to indices:
Costs
BCIS
GDV
Land Reg
Halifax / Nationwide
Composite
Academetrics
Hometrack
Rightmove / Zoopla /
BUT – have new build followed wider
market?
Assumptions and testing
“make some very
cautious and
transparent
assumptions with
sensitivity testing of
the robustness of
those assumptions
it is important that
variations against
baseline costs, as
well as values, are
tested.” (page 27 –
Harman)
