Rating Valuation

Professional municipal and rateable property valuations using the Depreciated Replacement Cost method

What is Rating Valuation?

Rating Valuation is specifically designed for the valuation of rateable properties, including municipal buildings, public infrastructure, and properties requiring statutory valuations for local authority rating purposes. Our system utilizes the Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) method, meticulously accounting for all depreciation factors to deliver accurate, defensible valuations.

Key Insight: The DRC method is ideal when there is limited market data or when properties have specialized uses that make comparable sales analysis impractical.

Key Features

Gross Replacement Cost (GRC) Calculation

Comprehensive cost analysis based on current construction rates, materials, and labor costs. Automatically calculates the cost to replace the property with a modern equivalent.

Comprehensive Depreciation Analysis

Advanced depreciation modeling covering physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence. Factor in age, condition, and remaining useful life.

Construction Quality Assessment

Detailed evaluation of construction elements, building materials, quality of finish, and compliance with building standards for precise cost estimation.

Insurance Valuation

Generate accurate insurance valuations based on full replacement cost, ensuring properties are adequately insured against loss or damage.

Council Compliance Reporting

Automated generation of valuation reports compliant with local authority requirements and statutory regulations for municipal rating purposes.

Historical Cost Tracking

Track valuation history over time, monitor depreciation patterns, and maintain comprehensive records for audit and review purposes.

Valuation Methodology
1

Calculate GRC

Determine the Gross Replacement Cost by analyzing current construction costs, materials, labor, and professional fees required to build a modern equivalent.

2

Apply Depreciation

Factor in physical deterioration based on age and condition, functional obsolescence from outdated features, and economic obsolescence from external factors.

3

Final Valuation

Arrive at the Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) by subtracting all applicable depreciation from the GRC, providing an accurate rateable value.
