Answers written down –

After having several discussions with the client, observations during physical inspection and detailed analysis, we managed to conduct the exercise and provide the value that it is neither overvalued nor undervalued. We broadly worked as follows:

    • We had valued the subject property as commercial office unit by Sales Comparable Method under Market Approach as the tittle agreement shared with us does not describe the usage of the subject property.
    • As per property tax the subject property was been used as commercial.
    • There were recent orders available in public domain for change of use in the said premises.
