How Redevelopment Potential Can Affect Property and Land Value

Short answer: Redevelopment potential can affect property and land value when additional development is legally, physically and commercially possible. It should not be assumed automatically. The valuer must separate verified facts from assumptions about FSI, TDR, permissions, market demand, costs and timing.

What is reviewed

• land title, tenure and transfer restrictions;
• plot size, shape, road width and access;
• planning authority, zoning, FSI/TDR and reservations;
• existing structure age, occupation and redevelopment constraints;
• expected sale/rent market, construction cost assumptions and approval risk.

Residual land value

Where redevelopment is central, a residual method may estimate the value of land after considering potential revenue, development cost, approvals, time, profit and risk. This method is sensitive to assumptions and should be clearly labelled.

Property versus potential

A bungalow, old building, industrial shed or land parcel may have value as an existing asset and separate potential as a development site. The report should avoid mixing the two without explanation.

Limitations

A valuation or feasibility note does not replace legal title verification, planning approval, architectural design, environmental review, society consent or project finance. Where permissions are uncertain, the value conclusion should reflect that uncertainty.
