Explanation: The formula calculates property value by dividing the annual net operating income by the capitalization rate, which represents the rate of return expected by investors.
Details: Accurate property valuation is essential for investment decisions, financing, property sales, tax assessments, and portfolio management in the UK real estate market.

A: Property valuations should be updated annually or whenever there are significant changes in rental income, expenses, or market conditions.
Q4: Are there limitations to this valuation method?
A: This method works best for income-producing properties and may not account for future growth potential or unique property characteristics.
Q5: Should this valuation be used for mortgage applications?
A: While useful for initial estimates, lenders typically require formal appraisals by certified valuers for mortgage purposes.
