Valuation of medical centres and surgery premises
Published September 2010
Effective from 1 October 2010
RICS is aware that the market, practice and regulatory landscape surrounding medical premises is likely to have changed since the publication of this guidance in 2010. We are currently in the process of reviewing it (please email standards@rics.org if you would like to get involved with this). Valuers are reminded that they need to be aware of the latest market, regulatory and legal position prior to undertaking work related to this area and should always undertake valuation work in accordance with the overarching RICS Valuation - Global Standards and Rules of Conduct.
Valuation of medical centres and surgery premises, 2nd edition, is concerned with the valuation of surgery premises, including all medical centres and surgeries occupied by doctors and other similar practitioners for medical or health services.
This guidance note was written with regard to the position in England. The valuation approach is essentially the same in Wales, and Scotland, but where there are differences they are noted.
Note that this guidance note was formerly known as VIP 04 The Valuation of Surgery Premises Used for Medical or Health Services in the UK. -
Comparable evidence in property valuation (ARCHIVED)
This document has been archived and is available on isurv for information purposes only.
Covering most types of real estate asset, this information paper discusses the use of comparable evidence in property valuation and aims to outline the principles of comparable evidence use, encourage consistency in its application worldwide, address issues of availability and the use of comparable evidence under challenging market conditions and consider the potential sources of comparable evidence.
This information paper also discusses the use of comparable evidence in different circumstances and markets, whether volatile or inactive, as well as in developing markets, where comparable evidence is often more difficult to obtain and less familiar to valuers.
Although applicable to land and buildings used for commercial, industrial, residential, agricultural and associated purposes, this publication does not cover the use of comparable evidence in the valuation of plant and equipment. Business assets or personal property are also outside the scope of this information paper, however, many of the principles described may be relevant to these types of asset. -
