    Study Notes

    Development Appraisal Terms

    • Development profit: the amount by which the estimated income of a development exceeds the total outlay
    • Development risk: the risk associated with the implementation and completion of a development, including post-construction letting and sales
    • Development yield: the rental income divided by the actual cost incurred in realizing the development
    • Development yield (initial): the development yield calculated over the entire project, defined as the stabilized income divided by the total construction cost (excluding interest and fees)

    Property Measurement and Valuation

    • Gross development value (GDV): the aggregate market value of the proposed development, assessed on the special assumption that the development is complete on the date of valuation in the market conditions prevailing on that date
    • Gross external area: the aggregate external area of a building or footprint, taking each floor into account, measured with reference to the appropriate code of measuring practice
    • Gross internal area: the measurement of a building on the same basis as gross external area – but excluding external wall thicknesses
    • Net sales area: the gross internal area of a residential dwelling subject to certain inclusions and exclusions
    • Highest and best use: the use of the property that would produce the highest value of the asset, which must be physically possible, financially feasible, and legal

    Financial Appraisal and Risk

    • Discount rate: the rate, or rates, of interest selected when calculating the present value of some future cost or benefit
    • Internal rate of return (IRR): the rate of interest (expressed as a percentage) at which all future project cash flows (positive and negative) will be discounted in order that the net present value (NPV) of those cash flows, including the initial investment, be equal to zero
    • Market risk: the uncertainty resulting from unknown future changes in the economy and financial and property markets, irrespective of the property being developed
    • Property- or project-specific risk: the uncertainty attached to the intrinsic development of a site or property in addition to the general market risk

    Development Metrics and Ratios

    • Development profit: the profit of the project expressed as a percentage of total development costs
    • Profit on value: the profit of the project expressed as a percentage of the project's net development value (NDV)
    • Return (on capital): the ratio of annual net income to capital derived from analysis of a transaction and expressed as a percentage
    • Risk-adjusted return: the discount rate as varied to reflect the perceived risk of the development
    • Target profit: the level of acceptable profit considering the risk of the particular project normally expressed as an individual sum
