[Assist of the disposal of bad loans of financial institutions]
 

We consider some disposal ways together with the client, and evaluate values which correspond to that ways. Report is available either in Japanese or in English.

In principle, we try to apply following three approaches.
1. Cost Approach
    This approach indicates the value by focusing on the cost.
2. Market Approach
    This approach indicates the value by focusing on the market.
3. Income Approach
    This approach indicates the value by focusing on the income.


(Notes)
Please note that, in Japan we can hardly apply Direct Sales Comparison Approach for built-up properties, except for condominiums, etc. This method is thought to be not so reliable in Japanese real estate business custom backed by the shortness of actual service life of buildings, the ultra-high price of land, and the highly-detailed zoning regulations.
Also, in built-up areas, we can hardly apply Cost Approach for lands. This would be common also in other countries.

On the other hand, for lands suit for condominium construction or for subdivision development, we apply Development Method.

(For accurate valuation)

Our valuation is supported by sufficient inspection.
In some types of properties, large deviations may appear among the values indicated by each approaches.
Unlike individual residences, profitability is thought as important for commercial properties.
Under the present depression, dealings of special purpose properties had been performed by focusing on the income. Usually, price is much lower than the value indicated by the Cost Approach.

e.g.

< City Hotel >
There was such a case, "construction cost (including land value) was JPY 10,000,000,000.
Company went bankrupt, and the disposal price was JPY 2,000,000,000 three years later".

< Resort Hotel >
Onerous sale of resort hotels of which business got worsened were sometimes difficult.

< Super Market >
There was such a case, "construction cost (including land value) was JPY 7,000,000,000.
But the disposal price was JPY 300,000,000 ten years later".

< Golf Course >
There was such a case, "development cost (including land value) was JPY 15,000,000,000.
But the disposal price was JPY 1,000,000,000 ten years later".

< Ski Resort >
There was such a case, "development cost (including land value) was JPY 23,000,000,000.
But the disposal price was JPY 300,000,000 ten years later".

< Hospital, remote from city >
A hospital (12 years old) went bankrupt.
Value indicated by the Cost Approach was JPY 600,000,000.
But, there was no buyer even at JPY 60,000,000.


There might be several disposal ways. E.g., transfer of business, assignment of claim, sale of real estates in the form of built-up property, and sale of land as a site for new condominium, etc.. Banks have to consider about the discharge cost of employees, effect of the quick sale, etc. And the amount of recovery changes according to them. Our consulting is fit for these conditions. We estimate the values fitting for the disposal ways.

(Notes)

Since the accuracy might decrease when the following points were inadequate, please check them.

(1) Please tell us about the use of appraisal. When conditions differ, price also differs.

(2) If the client is a financial institution, please tell us about the definition of value. Especially whether the needed price level is that of to be multiplied by loan-to-value ratio, or not. When needed price level is disposal price level, please tell us whether to deduct transfer expenses, or not. In this case, it is also necessary to examine the disposal way and the short term sales factors, since the price might differ with these factors.

(3) Please make arrangement that we can inspect inside the subject building.

(4) In some cases, soil contamination investigation fee, building examination fee, tax accountant fee, CPA fee, lawyer fee, etc., are needed separately.
