 (c) Property Valuation
The property under the discussion has been valuated on the basis of the
following:

(i) Detailed study of the ownership documents and available cadastral

map.
(ii) Detailed examination of the available drawings of the building.
(iii) Physical verification of the site by site visit and detailed
measurements of the land and buildings in order to prepare a set of
plans to incorporate in the valuation report.
(iv) Discussions with people knowledgeable about property values.
(v) Local market survey to determine ongoing commercial rates.
(vi) Comparisons with valuations of similar properties and
(vii) Valuation methodologies evolved by us over the last decade.

II) QUALIFYING AND LIMITING CONDITIONS

a)The plot of the property, according to the land ownership paper, is 6 anas and on
actual measurement; the area has been found to be equal to that given in land
ownership paper.

(b)Since the property is located adjacent to the main road, the value of the property
tends to be on the high side.

(c)Since, area is easily accessible from commercial areas near Bhakatpur so the price of
properties in the locality tends to be on the high side.

(d)Since, the frontage (the land length abutting the access road) of the land is 77’1”
which is larger compared to the depth of the land, the price of the land will be as high.

(e)Since the access road is a 22 feet wide bituminous road, the value of the property is
enhanced.

(f) According to the present zoning regulations, the height of a building is restricted
through plane, which is considered to be 2(a+b) where “a+b” is the distance between
two buildings. The mandatory setbacks for the boundary lines are as follows:

Front (roadside): 1 meter from the edge of the road

Sides : 5’ clear or the property can join the adjoining
property provided there are no openings.

The building has been approved by Bhaktapur Municipality.The building tenable.

5|Page
 (g) Generally speaking vacant open lands, because of their developmental potential,
fetch better prices than plots that have buildings. Because people have different tastes
and preferences, existing building must often tend to depress land prices, the price
depression being dependent on how suitable the existing buildings are to the interested
buyer in terms of their adaptability to the tastes of the buyer as well as their location in
the total property.

(h) The land value has been determined using the weightage average method, in which
the governmental value has been given 25% weightage and the prevailing market rate
as determined by our spot valuation and market survey value is given 75% weightage.

(i)The value of the building have been determined on the basis of the cost per unit areas
based on the detailed cost estimated of comparable buildings, the cost of which have
been computed based on current market values.

(j) The property under discussions is a freehold property with no tenancy rights. There is,
therefore, no restriction to sell, lease, transfer, the property as long as the owner
observes the laws of the lands, the prevailing zoning rules and regulations and does not
interfere the natural rights of the neighbors.

(k) It must be borne in mind that in spite of all the methods and calculations used to
determine the land value, it can only be an indicator of the prevailing prices. The final
sale figure, if the property is sold, is very much dependent on the psychologies of the
buyer and seller during the final sale negotiations. For e.g. if a seller is desperate to sell,
he is most likely to sell at a price lower than what he would have wished and what he
would have got if he had wanted for the proper moment. Similarly, if the buyer is
desperate to buy or if he likes a particular property he would most likely pay more than
he would have if he had waited for the right time.

(III) VALUATION CALCUALTION

(a) Valuation of land

The valuation of land is very dependent on a no. of important factors such as the
location, environment, size, and shape of the property as well as the supply and
demand economics prevailing during the time of evaluations.

In terms of location, the property is located adjacent to the main road linking
Changunarayan VDC to Sallaghari.
The immediate environment, as has already been mentioned, is well suited for
residential purpose with all sorts of facilities like electricity, telephone, water
supply and roads.

As regard to the size of the property, it is fairly big compared to the smallish plots
that seem be on sale in the urban areas and urban figures of Bhaktapur Valley.
Many private open spaces in Bhaktapur Valley is increasingly being sub-divided
into small plots and are being sold at ridiculously high prices. Therefore, the

6|Page
property under discussion can be considered to be on par with average size. In
reality, an area of 6 anas is not a large area. In terms of demand, smaller plots
are in greater demand because they are most affordable. It must be mentioned
here that the increasing air pollution as well as the continuing problem of garbage
disposal of the inner areas of the urban centres of Bhaktpur Valley, is driving
potential buyer to buy land in the outskirts and even outside the Bhaktpur Valley.
Generally speaking, people are beginning to find it more attractive to buy large
plots in the outskirts of the well-developed urban areas than to the buy small
plots in the highly urbanized areas. It is in this context that the size of the
property under discussion can considered reasonable because of its location.

Since, the land is irregular and it’s attractiveness is somewhat diminished.

Apart, from the above-mentioned consideration, the property under discussion

must, above all, be valuated within the context of supply and demand economics
prevailing in the country. However, the prices of land ultimately depend on the
psychologies of the buyer and the seller.

It may be worthwhile to mention here that the prices of the lands in the Bhaktapur
Valley are generally exorbitant. The extremely high prices of the lands in the
Bhaktapur Valley can be primary attributed to the tremendous desire to own land
in the valley, simply because Bhaktapur is the capital and power centre of the
country. In fact, the desire to own land in the valley has fuelled an inflationary
trends in the last few decades. This inflationary trend is much more apparent in
the case of small plots, of which have increased drastically compared to the price
increases of large plots simply because small plots are more affordable to the
majority of the buyers. It is within this inflationary context that the land has to be
valued.

It must be borne in mind that, in the last few months, the prices of the lands have
tended to remain fairly static. The inflationary trend in the land prices seems to
have leveled off. The factor contributing to this state of affairs is the depression in
the carpet and garment industries as well as various economics variables. Some
economists have even expressed fears of recession. Whatever maybe the
reasons and whatever maybe the economics scenario, there seems to be a
growing consensus that the prices will not be buoyant as in the past. It is against
this backdrop that the value of the property under discussion has to be
determined.

While all the above-mentioned factors have a bearing on the value of the land,
the actual value in which a particular land is ultimately bought or sold depends
upon the psychologies of the buyer or the seller. The final sale figure is very
depended on who is more desperate the buyer or the seller. Generally speaking

7|Page
 the sale figures tend to be arbitrarily on the high side. These sales figures can be
referred to as “commercial values”.

Compared to the commercial valuations, the valuations undertaken for the banks
tend to be conservative because of the very nature of bank valuations. The
purpose of bank valuations is to figure the value for which the properties will sell
in distress situations, when the properties have to be sold suddenly to recoup the
losses suffered by the banks due to default on loan payments. When properties
have to be sold suddenly, the prices the properties will fetch will not match
commercial values especially if there are building on the properties and people
residing in the building have to be evicted when the properties are to be
auctioned. Therefore, by their very nature, bank valuations tend to be very
conservative, more so, if building are existing on the site.

With reference to the property under discussion, the value of the land has been
determined by using the weighted average method where 25% weightage has
been given to the value fixed by the government and 75% weightage has been
given to the commercial value of the land fixed on the basis of a market survey,
our spot valuations and comparable valuations. The values that have been
considered in this valuation exercise are as follows:

i) Government Value: Rs 5 Lakhs /Ana

ii) Commercial Value: Rs 7 Lakhs /Ana

By the weighted method, the distress price of the land has been taken to be
Rs.6.5 Lakhs /Ana (refer Appendix IV).

LAND VALUE
1. Maximum registration rates Rs.5 Lakhs per Ana
as fixed by the Government

2. Current Market Rate Rs.7 Lakhs per Ana

determined from Market Survey

3. Weightage Average Calculation

Minimum registration rate as fixed by the Government

= 25% of Rs.5 Lakhs/ana = Rs. 1.25 Lakhs/ana
Current Market rate determined by market survey
= 75% of Rs.7 Lakhs/ana = 5.25 Lakhs/ana

Therefore, Rate of land by Weighted Average Calculation = Rs 1.25 + 5.25 Lakhs

= Rs 6.5 Lakhs per Ana

4. Recommended Land Rate = Rs 6.5 Lakhs per Ana.
