This is an introductory, first year text on property valuation with a clear, well-defined structure based around the five valuation methods. Each approach is identified and the author discusses the appropriateness of the methods to different situations.

The author introduces some of the more recent thinking in relation to valuation and alternatives are discussed and demonstrated using practical examples. The intention throughout is to encourage a better understanding of valuation by bridging the gap between theory and practice while at the same time introducing the practitioner and student to recent developments.
