Descrição do livro

There is no magic in valuing property. There is only evidence, judgement, and the discipline to follow what the data supports, even when it is not what you expected.

For more than forty years, property valuer Michael Lewis has seen the same pattern repeat itself. Value is often missed because it is never properly tested. Buyers rely on asking prices instead of sold evidence, development potential goes unrecognised, and insurance is based on estimates rather than rebuild cost. It is the absence of a "professional method" that is the problem, not poor decision-making.

This book closes that gap.

In clear English, with every calculation worked through in pounds and real UK examples, it explains the three methods used in professional valuation: the market comparison method for homes and flats, the income method for commercial property, and the cost method for land, specialist assets, and insurance valuation.

This is not theory. It is the real process by which valuations are created.


You will learn how to:

  • Separate price from value and define the correct basis before any calculation begins
  • Locate and interpret reliable UK evidence, including sold prices, rental data, yields, and rebuild costs
  • Value a house or flat from first principles, including lease structure and terms that alter value
  • Convert rental income into capital value using income capitalisation, with clear practical understanding of discounted cash flow.
  • Apply the residual method to development land in a structured, defensible way that reflects real-world appraisal practice


Includes a bonus chapter that sets out the complete valuation sequence step by step, from initial evidence gathering to a final defensible figure.

Each method is introduced in simple terms, then extended in “Go deeper” sections for readers who want professional-level depth. The result is a repeatable way of working that replaces assumption with evidence and opinion with method.

By the end, you will not be relying on asking prices, rough estimates, or someone else’s interpretation of value. You will understand how valuations are built, how they fail, and how to test them with the same logic used in practice.
