2 What is the role of a property
developer?
• The role of a property developer is to make
a profit out of property.
• So in my opinion property development is
any situation where you are adding value to
property.
Property Investment
• An investment is defined as the giving up of a
capital sum now in exchange for benefits to be
received in the future. These will usually take the
form of an income flow and/or capital gain.

and property investment
• A property developer buys a parcel of land
in order to build an office building and let it to
an occupier who will pay rent for the space
used.

5 Calculate the value of the land
• You now have some quality comparables to
work out the Gross Development value of the
scheme
• And your QS has given you some build costs
• And you know the profit you require
• From the above you can calculate an
approximate value for the land using the
residual method of valuation
i.e. D = A - B - C

diligence
• Before completing the purchase of the site
you will ideally have:

scheme.

potential risks affecting the development.

• As the land has been purchased
1. At the right price
2. With the appropriate planning permission
3. With no risks to the development from detailed
investigations

completed scheme

investor the development process is over
