Residential property not only provides in the basic needs of a person, but is also an indicator of an individual's wealth. The buying and selling of immovable property is complicated and the average person relies on the services of estate agents and banks. The research problem was formulated as follows: Property valuers and estate agents with access to the same information sources determine different market values for the same property. The research problem was researched by means of a literature study and empirical study. The methodology used by property valuers was described in the literature study. How estate agents determine the value of property was researched by means of an empirical study. From the literature study a model was proposed to determine the value of residential property. The information gathered in the empirical study was compared with this model to provide an answer to the research problem. OPSOMMING Residensiële eiendom voorsien nie net in een van die mees basiese behoeftes van 'n mens nie, maar is ook een van die grootste aanduiders van 'n individu se welvaart. Die koop en verkoop van onroerende eiendom is 'n ingewikkelde en die deursnee persoon maak daarom van eiendomsagente en banke gebruik. Die navorsingsprobleem is as volg geformuleer: Eiendomswaardeerders en eiendoms¬agente met toegang tot dieselfde inligtingsbronne bepaal verskillende waardes vir die¬selfde eiendom. Die navorsingsprobleem is deur middel van ʼn literatuurstudie en ʼn empiriese ondersoek nagevors. Die werksaamhede en metodologie wat eiendomswaardeerders gebruik, is aan die hand van die literatuurstudie beskryf. Hoe eiendomsagente te werk gaan om die waarde van eiendom te bepaal is deur middel van ʼn empiriese ondersoek nagevors. Uit die literatuurstudie is daar ʼn model voorgestel vir die bepaling van die waarde van residensiële eiendom. Die inligting wat met die empiriese ondersoek versamel is, is met die model vergelyk om antwoorde op die navorsingsprobleem te verskaf. / Public Administration and Management / M. Tech.

Bakgrund: Denna studie är ett test av investeringsstrategi baserad på relativvärdering av multiplar. Den multipel som kommer att studeras som investeringsstrategi är Price-to-Book (P/B). Valet av multipel på P/B beror på att det är en väl omskriven multipel som fortfarande väcker frågeställningar avseende betydelsen av bokfört värde i kombination med marknadsvärde. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och analysera multipeln P/B som investeringsstrategi för aktier. Vidare syftar studien till att undersöka aktier med låga respektive höga P/B från de olika börslistorna Small, Mid och Large Cap på Stockholmsbörsen. Genomförande: Sex portföljer skapas baserat på låga respektive höga P/B från de marknadsvärdemässiga börslistorna Small, Mid och Large Cap på Stockholmsbörsen. Portföljerna ombalanseras årligen och följs mellan 2006 och 2016. Resultat: Fyra av sex portföljer har högre ackumulerad avkastning än jämförelseindex före och efter riskjustering. Dock hindrar svag statistisk evidens påvisande av överavkastning över tid. På motsvarande vis finnes svaga säkerställda skillnader i avkastning mellan låga och höga P/B. Ej heller förefaller det förekomma signifikanta skillnader i avkastning och risk mellan portföljer på Small, Mid och Large Cap. / Background: This study is a test of an investment strategy based on relative valuation of multiples. The multiple to be studied is Price-to-Book (P/B). P/B is chosen because although previously researched, the implications of book values paired with market values are still not well understood. Aim: The aim of this study is to examine and analyze the multiple P/B as an investment strategy for stocks. Moreover, this study intends to examine stocks with low and high P/B: s from the Small, Mid and Large Cap on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Completion: Six portfolios are created based on low and high P/B: s respectively from the market value-based stock exchange lists Small, Mid and Large Cap on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The portfolios are rebalanced annually and are followed between 2006 and 2016. Results: Four out of six portfolios exhibit higher levels of cumulative returns than the chosen stock index before and after adjusting for risk. However, weak statistical evidence prevent conclusive showings of excess returns over time. Similarly, we find weak support for differences in returns between low and high P/B: s. Neither does there seem to exist significant differences in return and risk between the Small, Mid and Large Cap.

The Asset Dividing Appraisal Model (ADAM) enables the appraisal of cash flows resulting from direct real estate investments. The model is an evaluation tool, which takes capital markets and the specific characteristics of real estate as an asset (heterogeneity, site-dependency, eternal land-yield, etc.) into consideration, while also considering different ownership approaches of real estate in the European Union. Thus, it contributes to the harmonization of capital markets and of direct real estate investment evaluation as intended by the "European Directive on Markets in Financial Instruments 2004/39/EC". ADAM is based on financial mathematical instruments and on the property valuation methods of different cultural areas. It combines continental European (Germ an Gross Rental-Method) and international (Discounted Cash Flow-Method) property valuation approaches. Although it is scientifically reasonable to take property valuation approaches into account, the aim of the model is not to valuate a property or to quantify an objective market value but to evaluate cash-flows resulting from direct real estate investments. A mathematical analysis based on empirical market data confirmed the validity of the methodology of the model. In the course of the analysis the major input variables that determine the results of the model and how the model reacts to marginal deviations of input data, were quantified. This was done using partial derivations and a simulation study. In Czech Republic a building isn't actually considered as a part of the underlying plot. Consequently, differing persons or institutions can be owner of the building, as of the appropriate plot. From 2014 on, a suitable reformation of the Czech Civil Code is supposed to cause a consolidation of real estate property. Czech law is going to be adjusted to German law, which considers plot and building as an economic entity. This consolidation of real estate could be an approach of the introduced model.

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of sale/lease of an apartment in the Královo Pole district cadastral area of Sadová. The main objective of the work was to find out the selling/rental price of the apartment unit in the new building, available 2+kk with standard equipment in Sadová. The price calculation was performed according to statutory regulations, standards and coefficients. At the same time, the price and quality levels of the offered housing units in the surrounding Brno localities were monitored and compared. The secondary objectives of the diploma thesis were the analysis of the housing market in Brno and its description including the preferences for the selection of the housing unit. The market indices used were used for the valuation of the dwelling unit and the price of the land included in the dwelling unit was included in the resulting price. The award was made by cost and comparison method. Sales/ rental pricing calculations were verified through direct comparison and Grubbs test. The rental method used to measure sales/rentals was used to determine the usual rent. In the last chapter of the analytical section, an appropriate procedure for purchasing a new dwelling unit was proposed.

This thesis is focusing on market value and cost price of a real estate. The difference between the above-mentioned market value and cost price in relation to a specific real estate is emphasized. To regard and evaluate this difference a database of real estates was needed to be established. Building plots in the region of Opava with a planned construction of a detached house were chosen to establish this database. In all cases, the cost price of the structure and the future market value of the building plot with a completed building of the detached house was known. Based on the database, the main impact of each characteristic of the structure and the building plot on the difference in market value and cost price of particular real estates is evaluated in the main part of this thesis. In it’s last part this thesis comes to the application of ascertained conclusions on the problematic of municipalities management with municipal real estates in the most economical effective way.
