POSSIBLE LEGAL PROBLEMS

•Non-Conforming Use• Encroachment•Unrecorded Easement

Notify Client if Undisclosed Problems are Discovered – and Clearly Disclose in the Report

POSSIBLE PHYSICAL PROBLEMS

• Flood Risks

•Poor Soils / Settlement

• Environment Hazards

Discovered Problems May Change the Scope of Work – and May Require an Expert

6.2 HIGHEST & BEST USE ANALYSIS

Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice...• Requires Highest and Best Use Analysis if

estimating an opinion of Market Value

Alternatively defined as…The reasonable and profitable use that will support the highest land value as of the date of value

HIGHEST & BEST USE ANALYSIS (Con’t.)

•Purpose – H&B Use helps define the…• Basis of Data Collection• Appraisal Methodology

•Alternative Use Assumptions• Highest and Best Use As if Vacant• Highest and Best Use As Improved

INTERIM USE (Example 6.2)The analysis suggests that the residential use (as improved) may be determined to be an Interim Use until commercial land values increase above $350,000 (value as improved).

PHYSICAL – SIZE AND SHAPE• Size Usually in Square Feet or Acres• One Acre = 43,560 Square Feet• Assemblage or Plottage• Joining of two or more parcels• May or May Not increase value (Plottage Value)• Gross vs. Useful Area (Net)• Building Footprint or Coverage Ratio• Lot Shape (Width vs. Depth)• Frontage and Excess Depth

PHYSICAL – TOPOGRAPHY

• Irregular Topography• Hills, Valleys, Ravines, Cliffs, Bluffs and Slopes• May be an Asset – Premium Views• May be a Liability – Higher Utility, Access

and/or Development Costs

•Orientation to Surrounding Uses.

PHYSICAL – SOIL AND GEOLOGY

• Soil Stability – Rock vs. Sand• Soils Composition•Ability to absorb moisture• Affect on Septic Systems

•Potential Hazards• Slide, Soil Liquefaction or Earthquake

16

PHYSICAL – DRAINAGE AND FLOOD

• Appraiser Should Note the Water Drainage Pattern (Run-Off), Signs of Excessive Soil Erosion• Flood Maps/Flood Plain (Hazard

Area?) - Is Flood Insurance Required?

ANALYSIS OF SITE LOCATION ELEMENTS

Evaluation of the Neighborhood• Convenience to Schools, Hospitals and

Community Centers• Proximity to Employment and Shopping,

and to Medical and Recreation Facilities•Market Appeal of Neighborhood

22

PUBLIC RESTRICTIONS

• Regional and Master Plans• Zoning Regulations• Subdivision Laws• Building and Safety Regulations• Right of Access• Environmental Protection Laws• Federal Flood Zones• Geological Hazard Zones

PROPERTY TAXES

• Ad Valorem - “According to Value”

• Direct or Special Assessments / Levies

• Property Tax Exemptions

• Property Transfer Tax

PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX

Example• Rate of $0.55 per each $500 of new money

(Equates to $1.10 per $1,000)• Hence – Tax ÷ 0.0011 = Price• If Stamps are $209.00…

$209.00 ÷ 0.0011 = $190,000

PRIVATE RESTRICTION

• Deed Restrictions

• Association Agreements (CC&R’s)

• Private Easements

• Leases

6.4 COMPUTING AREA & VOLUME Length

Length Area of Square = Length X Length (L2)

Area of Rectangle = W X L

ExampleIf W = 50’ and L = 100’, what is area of the shape?

50’ X 100’ = 5,000 Square Feet (SF) 28

CHAPTER SUMMARY

Site inspection is one of the most important parts of the entire appraisal process. Three major reasons of inspecting the site are:1. Estimate Highest and Best Use2. To Identify Key Site Features3. To Identify Possible Legal and Physical

ProblemsIt is desirable to have certain kinds of information before the site inspection begins.

CHAPTER SUMMARY (Con’t.)

The tools and equipment necessary to perform the inspection were outlined. During the inspection, the appraiser should first investigate the physical characteristics of the site. Physical characteristics also include the form of ownership, type of lot, its orientation, and physical access. The improvements made to the site (on-site) or on areas surrounding it (off-site) must be noted.
