The third edition of this popular textbook offers a comprehensive and student-friendly exploration of the application of property valuation and appraisal techniques. Thoroughly revised and re-structured, it covers topics including risk, residential lease extensions, enfranchisement and cash flows.  The text explain the theory concisely but at the same time seeks to show the application of different techniques in the contexts which are often encountered in practice. Detailed yet accessible, Property Valuation Techniques is ideal reading both for second and third year undergraduates; for postgraduates, both those new to the subject and those looking to extend their knowledge; and for practitioners who are not valuers but require some familiarity with the vocabulary, principles and application of the valuation toolkit or who are looking to refresh and develop their understanding of property valuation.

Thoroughly updated, the new edition of this book provides clear and extensive coverage of property valuation techniques, ideal for students and practitioners alike
