Definition of value

Fair Market Value (FMV) Appraisal

 

  • Fair Market Value:  The price at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller; neither being under the compulsion to buy or a compulsion to sell, and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.  Some factors involved in Fair Market Value of assets involve the supply and demand, condition, age, availability, restorative and/or mechanical improvements, and previous comparable sales.


Liquidation Value (LV) Appraisal

  • Liquidation Value:  The price at which the property would change hands when there is a financial situation or other circumstance existing at the time of sale so as to require a sacrifice, e.g. demand from a financial institution to liquidate, bankruptcy, instant need for cash flow, overstocked, low demand recession.


Going Concern Value (GCV) Appraisal

  • Going Concern Value:  The value obtainable for the assets through private negotiators between a willing buyer and a willing seller on a total entity basis in order to continue operations in place over an acceptable period of time.  Some factors involved in Going Concern Value are:  all assets relative to the business including stock supplies, condition and age of assets, cash flow.  This is based on previous financial records, a solid plan for a willing buyer to re-capture his initial investment.  Leasehold improvements are included in this type of appraisal.


Market Value In Place (MVIP) Appraisal

  • Market Value In Place:  A professional opinion of the estimated value to be realized for the property; as installed for intended use in an exchange between a willing buyer and willing seller; neither being under the compulsion to buy or the compulsion to sell, with both parties aware of the relevant facts as of the effective date of the appraisal.  Note:  MVIP does not normally take into consideration leasehold improvements, unless they are specifically related to a function of a particular piece of equipment.  ENHANCED VALUE – Sometimes used as a factor and is dependent upon the function, economic conditions, population proximity and geographical location.

Our standards

A successful respected appraiser will possess the following qualities:

A. Trust

B. Integrity – An appraiser must not:

  1.  suppress facts;
  2.  misrepresent his/her qualifications;
  3.  be influenced by third parties.

C. Knowledge – A professionally qualified appraiser is one who has considerable knowledge and experience in dealing with commonly appraised subject matter. However, unfamiliarity with a given subject matter should not form a barrier between the appraiser and the goods to be appraised.  Adequate consultations with those familiar with the subject matter, along with various techniques of price sourcing should provide the appraiser with the necessary knowledge to produce a qualified appraisal.

D. Professionalism –  An appraiser must practive and maintain the highest professional standards in regard to:

1. Confidentiality

An appraiser must not disclose confidential information obtained from a client, or appraisal results, except to:

  • i. the client and persons authorized by the client;
  • ii. third parties as authorized by due process of law;
  • iii. a duly authorized professional peer review committee.

2. Conduct

An appraiser must properly identify the question to be addressed and possess the necessary knowledge and experience to complete the assignment competently.

Should these conditions not exist at the commencement of the assignment then the appraiser must:
i. disclose any lack of knowledge to the client before accepting the assignment;
ii. take all necessary and/or appropriate steps to competently complete the assignment;
iii. document the above conditions if they apply in the appraisal report.

3. Management An appraiser must accept the responsibility for anything that is placed in their care.

4. Record keeping Adequate records must be kept by the appraiser.  This includes written documentation of the entire appraisal process as well as working notes and correspondences.  Any relevant consultations used in determining value must also be noted.

E. Compensation

1. Acceptance of compensation is unethical if contingent upon:

  • i. the reporting of a pre-determined value without ethically verifying the actual value;
  • ii. a direction of the client resulting in the attainment of the stipulated amount;
  • iii. the amount of value estimate;
  • iv. the occurrence of a subsequent event.

2. Generally the fee charged by an appraiser should be independent of the value of the report, i.e. the appraisal fee should not be a percentage of the appraised amount.

Assessing a fee on a percentage basis may result in increased vulnerability to the appraiser in cases of litigation.
