Concept to Risk to Memory to Check-up

Core concepts

Concept 1

Clarify whether the client needs an agency market appraisal, formal valuation or another opinion and stay within the competent scope.

Exam cue: Connect every adjustment to a documented difference between subject and comparable.

Concept 2

Inspect and record location, accommodation, construction, condition, tenure or title, rights, restrictions, energy evidence and marketability.

Exam cue: Distinguish achievable market evidence from an unsupported instruction-winning figure.

Concept 3

Comparable sales require verification and adjustment for date, location, size, condition, tenure, terms and transaction circumstances.

Concept 4

The appraisal should explain evidence, range, assumptions, recommended asking strategy, likely costs, conflicts and material limitations.
