Statutory Valuations

Statutory Valuations is the leading UK text dealing with the impact of legislation and case law upon property valuation.

In order to provide expert commentary in a wide range of fields, this edition has become a multi-author work with entirely new chapters on Rating and Taxation. In addition to extensively revised sections on issues relating to Landlord and Tenant and Leasehold Reform as these issues affect Commercial and Residential Property, updates following recent cases on Compulsory Purchase and Planning Compensation have also been included.

Each section is written by a valuer working in his/her subject field, and the emphasis is placed as far as possible on how valuations are undertaken in practice, supported by an outline of the underlying legal principles. In this respect the text reflects the impact of changes arising from extensive statute and case law in the 10 years since the last edition.

The text adheres to the needs of both students and practitioners. It provides both a comprehensive analysis of the law affecting valuation and recommends practical approaches to valuation problems. It presents clear and concise interpretations of the legal framework behind these approaches and includes detailed worked examples.
