A property valuation report is prepared by valuation experts ( government approved/ registered valuers ) and shows the worth of a property/asset as on a particular date. The value of immoveable property in Delhi has increased by leaps and bounds in the past three decades, making it crucial to understand the factors that affect their market value. The most important factors affecting the value of a property are: (for Capital Gains tax, Visa)

1.

Location of property: This is perhaps the most important factor in determining the value. A property which is having a good location will usually command a premium of 10-25% compared to other properties. Properties located in the city center, near main roads, near parks and markets, etc. generally have a higher value.

2.

Type of ownership: Properties may be either leasehold or freehold. Freehold properties generally have a higher value as compared to leasehold properties. 

3.

Type of property: The property may be either residential, commercial, industrial, institutional etc. Commercial and industrial properties generally have more value than residential property. Further the property may be a House/Bunglow, Builder floor, DDA Flat, Society Flat / Apartment, MCD Shop, Commercial office unit, L&DO / DDA Plot etc.

4.

Property Title Documents: If the title documents of a property are missing or defective in some way, the property will not be able to fetch a good market price. If the property is disputed or the subject matter of some court case, it will have a very low worth. 

​
5.

Master Plan & Building Bye Laws: If a property is not in conformity with the Master Plan, Zonal Plans and Building Bye Laws, it will have a lower market value.

6.

Economic, Social & Political status of people living in neighborhood: A property located in colonies where the elite families, industrialists and politicians reside generally have a higher market value.

7.

Shape of Plot: Plots that are shaped regularly tend to have a higher value than those with irregular shapes. Three side open plots have more value than two side open plots.

8.

Year of construction of property : A property which is newly built or recently renovated will obviously have a higher value than an old construction.

Methods of Valuation of Property

There are many methods which can help us make an estimate about the true value of the property. The three common methods of valuation used are:
1. Capitalization of annual rent
2. Comparison of subject property with similar property in the area, and
3. Obtaining advice of professionals.

These are explained in more detail below.

1. Rent Capitalization Method
One can assess the value of immoveable property by trying to base it off the value of the rent that is charged and received annually by the property. However, because rent may be set too high or too low, this is often not an accurate indicator of market values. If the rent is at standard price, however, you can make a reasonable guess of the market worth, This method is suitable for valuing residential properties as well as commercial properties.

2. Comparison Method
This is one of the easier and common methods of estimating the market prices. Valuation is done by assessing the value of other similar properties in the nearby areas. It is a commonly used method and takes into account several important factors, such as the timing of the sale and the price at which adjacent properties have been sold. This price of adjacent and similar properties can be found out by checking the registration values of the properties.

3. Valuation Certificate from Registered Valuer
This is quite an accurate means of assessing a property’s fair market value. The valuation experts ( Category 1 Government registered valuers) are trained and experienced in the area of property valuation and offer better assessment of the fair market value of the property. These valuers spend enough time to thoroughly assess the situation before making the valuation certificate/report. Due to his experience and know-how, he can provide a reasonable estimation of the market value of a particular property.
