WEEK 8- INVESTMENT APPRAISAL TECHNIQUE

Topic taught in this week’s lecture is Property Economics and Valuation. Mr. Sam Moorwood had explained few techniques use for capital investment appraisal for a development which may define the development viability based on economical factor.

Those techniques are not new for me as I’d learnt in previous academic session. However, I’ve difficulties in obtaining the accurate answers in the homework practice although I’ve good understanding on the formula for each technique. I’ve reflected myself on this problem. This has due to insufficient and non-continuous practice done. I’ve not mastered the application of those techniques in different situation.

Further discussion had been done during the seminar later. Sam had showed us more examples to ensure we have full understanding on both traditional and modern methods. I found these calculation activities interesting as it stimulates my mind to solve different problems with different methods.

Those investment appraisal techniques had been useful and I’ve applied them to appraise the economics for my development. For my development proposal, it assists better decision making on fund investment and the monetary issues are known earlier. From there, I can define proposed development viability and satisfy my client’s requirement.
