I have read this board when possible, not much time, and have realized there is an enormous amount of experience and would like some advise.
I have been asked, not sure whether or not I will accept yet, to appraise a section of a 1+ acre site that is excess land of a fire department. This section is to be surveyed and therefore any appraiser should complete the appraisal as a hypothetical condition and note the client requested that the value be estimated for the smaller tract and the survey had not been completed as of the effective date of value. The opinion of value is subject to survey and location of defined boundary lines. Also, reserve the right to amend the value after the survey is completed.
The problem is the back section .50 acre (I havent received the estimated site dimensions) is at the rear of the site. There are approx. six adjacent properties. I am thinking that is the market for this parcel of ground.
Any ideas???
(Someone had advised to develop an opinion of value for the total site as vacant, and then develop an opinion of value for the new site and the difference could be attributed to the rear parcel) (develop a price per sf ft)
Highest and best use is probably continue use and it is now.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I have been exposed to small site being purchased for a water tower, but not inner city such as this.
Thanks
