Valuing an MUFB

Commercial valuation, per-unit yield and where the hidden value sits

A block is a commercial asset, and valuing it like a single flat leads buyers to overpay or to dismiss a genuine bargain. This book teaches you to work out what a multi-unit freehold is actually worth. It sets out the numbers that decide a block's value, shows where to find reliable data on blocks for free, and explains why honest income is the foundation of the price when a larger block is valued on what it earns. You will learn to build a full cost stack that includes the communal costs a single flat never has. The valuation is then stress-tested against voids, a bad month and a rate rise, and a complete worked example takes one block from rent roll to valuation using round figures chosen to teach the method. The final chapter gives you a deal calculator and names the legal questions it cannot answer. Next in this series: “Title, Leases and Freehold Management”.
