Alternative Real Value Hybrid Model for the Valuation of Reversionary Leasehold Investment Properties

Abstract

This study is a design of an alternative real value hybrid model for the valuation of reversionary leasehold investment properties characterized by divergence in the revision period of sub-rent and head rent respectively. The development of this model commenced with a synthesis of inputs for the modified rational- and real value hybrid models, and the derivation of an equivalent cash flow multiplier for terminal investments. With exception of the generic real value model, term incomes across all other contemporary models including the alternative real value hybrid model were discounted using the equated yield. The discounted reversionary cash flows in the valuation template associated with the alternative real value hybrid model appears identical to that in the generic real value model, while exhibiting itself as a surrogate reversionary income multiplier for the modified rational, and the real value/short-cut DCF models respectively. The alternative real value hybrid model was validated as capable of producing valuations that are identical to those churned out from all the existing contemporary models for the valuation of this category of reversionary leasehold investment property. The study is a novel attempt towards redesigning the modified rational model of leasehold investment property valuation and according it a real value perspective.
