I recently reviewed an appraisal of a 30-40 year old +/- bowling alley. I concurred with the appraiser that only the sales comparison approach was applicable. Fortunately, several sales were available within the metropolitan area. My client called later and indicated the bank examiners indicated that all three approaches should have been completed. It is my contention that the cost approach was not applicable due to the age of the property. The income approach was not applicable (in estimating the market value of the real property) since bowling alleys are not typically leased within this market.
I'm looking for some type of support in the form of published articles, etc.. Is anyone aware of anything? Thanks.
