What a development appraisal considers

An appraisal assesses whether, and how, a property or site could be developed or put to an alternative use, and what that means for its value. Typical considerations include:

  • Likely end value of the completed scheme
  • Build, professional and finance costs
  • Planning and legal considerations
  • Timescales, risk and return

Who we advise

Owners considering redevelopment, purchasers assessing a site or building with potential, and lenders and investors reviewing a proposal.

Alongside valuation advice

Development appraisals are often prepared alongside a formal valuation by an RICS Registered Valuer, providing a documented basis for decisions.
