In this assignment you will have to value a business on a retail strip.
To do this, you'll need to:
The main tool you'll use to value land is a database called Pricefinder APM. A link to it, and some additional demographic data can be found below.
The boxes below this one will give you information on how to learn to value different types of property and what factors are driving change in the industry.
A good place to begin searching is in the Library catalogue. Use the Library catalogue to find books and journal articles on your topic.
To learn how to use the Library Catalogue, watch this video:
Example:
A search in the Library Catalogue using the search term retail valuation found this book and article.
Use general or broad keywords if you can't find books using more specific keywords (e.g. If you can't find a book on "retail property valuation", try "property valuation" instead as this more general search will create more results).
Try restricting your search to peer reviewed articles. Because peer reviewed articles have been double-checked by academic experts, it's easier to be sure that the words and ideas you're using are of sufficient quality for a university assignment.
Not all the information you get from a search will be useful. A successful search will show results relevant to your topic. If your results are not relevant go back and try different keywords in your search.
To evaluate whether your source is of sufficient quality use the C.R.A.P Test. Click on the letters of the acronym to learn more:
Using the same searches you've mapped our earlier, try using some of the key resources for property economics (linked below). You'll find the results are different in each database. The picture above is one of the top hits from ProQuest
