APPRAISAL SUMMARY

A summarized report of the pertinent information used to determine an estimate of the


market value. The comparable method was used to determine this estimate.

Client Name: Ms. Sharisse Crick

Property Address: Lot 1, St. Judes, St. George

Land Tax Map Reference Number: Part of. 52.10.05.040/8

Intended Use: Determine Current Fair Market Value

Intended User: Ms. Sharisse Crick

SUMMARY OF SALIENT DATA

Property type: Residential Lot

Lot Size: Gross Area: 678.8 square meters or 7,306 square feet
Net Area: 484.3 square meters or 5,212 square feet

Zoning: Residential /Agricultural

Water Zone: 04

Property Rights: Fee Simple

Remarks: At date of inspection the subject lot was found to be vacant, flat and covered
by a manageable level of natural vegetation. The access road to the lot is unfinished. This
does not appear to have a significant impact on the functionality of the lot as it is a short
distance away from a well paved road.

Based on the size and characteristics of Lot 1 along with the current use of the surrounding
properties it is estimated that the highest and best use of the lot once developed would be
a single family, two storey, stone house, with a modern design and finishes.

Comments: At date of inspection the subject property was found to be vacant with a
manageable level of grass coverage. Lot 1 is formerly a part of a larger parcel now
subdivided into three lots of which Lot 1 is the most westerly. Consequently the access road
runs along the length and width of the lot but remains undeveloped. Lot 1 abuts other lands
now or formerly of Inez Smith to the south, lands now or formerly of Livingstone Clarke to
the north, lands now or formerly of Cecil M. Barton to the east and a public road to the west.

Comments: St. Judes is now primarily a residential area, originating from a plantation
tenantry, village type small holdings and some larger agricultural/residential properties. The
housing stock in this and the surrounding areas has continuously increased and improved in
quality over the last decade as the wider community benefit from improved roads, new
developments and transportation. Families remain low to middle income, with a large number
occupying this area for many generations.

4.0 APPROACH TO VALUATION

The interest appraised is the fee simple estate. Fee simple estate is defined as “Absolute
ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the
limitations imposed by governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain,
police power, and escheat.”

The Comparison Method

This method emanates from the principle of substitution, which states that a prudent
person will pay no more for a property than it would cost to acquire an equally desirable
substitute. Recent sales evidence of similar properties in comparable locations was
examined and the subject property compared with the prices obtained. Consideration was
given to, and adjustments made for physiographic, topography, location, size, shape and
condition of the subject site.

5.0 VALUATION ANALYSIS

The Contractor’s Method


Comparable Data (Land Sales)
Address Land Date Consideration Unit $
Area(f2)
Lot 19, Kendal, St. John 6,554 8/4/2016 $98,312.00 15.00
Lot 24, Kendal, St. John 5,511 7/6/2016 $82,665.00 15.00
Lot 23A, Applewaites, St. George 5,375 6/7/2016 $84,000.00 15.63

Analysis of sales of similar lots in the area shows ranges from $15.00 to $15.63 per square
foot. These sales have occurred in close proximity to the subject lot and in recent times
therefore are very accurate reflections of the market conditions in existence presently.
Based on the characteristics of the subject lot it is our opinion that, Index no. 3 is located
within the same parish, closer proximity and in a similar district.
The remaining comparable data has been used as indicators only, and as such less weight
has been attributed on that evidence. Please note that the comparable data used all had
adequate vehicular access. The subject lot does not and as such some adjustment to the
unit rate is required.
In consideration of all mentioned above it is my opinion that this lot could fetch around
$12.00 per square foot if it were to be “offered”-as on this date on the open market for
sale under normal market conditions.

Land Area 5,213 sq. ft. @ $12.00 Total=$62,556.00

Market Value

The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and
knowledgeable, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this
definition are the communication of a sale as of the specified date and the passing of title
from seller to buyer under conditions whereby.
 Buyer and seller are typically motivated;

considered their best interest

 A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

 Payment is made in terms of cash in Barbados dollars or in terms of financial


arrangements comparable thereto;

 The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold
unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by
anyone associated with the sale.

As a result of our appraisal and analysis our opinion of value on the

April 26, 2017 is as follows: $63,600.00
