Valuation Method and Risk Statement

Our valuation methodology is based on the concept of economic profit, comparing the return

risks at a number of levels. First the level of the economy both macro and local can adversely

falling rents. Rising interest rates can impact the security of the tenant base, lower

development margins significantly, and reduce investment appetite. Interest rates, bond

yields and the relative attractions of other asset classes can all impact property values.
