Unit learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

  1. Apply advanced valuation methods to value complex or specialised property types.
  2. Articulate emerging issues in property economics.
  3. Critically evaluate the factors that impact on the value of property rights and assets.

This unit is an element in the required content for accreditation for Certified Practicing Valuer with the Australian Property Institute.

Students will have the opportunity to pursue Estate Master professional accreditation as an extension to the core activities in this unit related to development analysis. Estate Master accreditation is a widely recognised industry standard within the Australian and international development industry and can benefit the career prospects of students. Accreditation is independent of the university, however students receive a special student package which includes extended student access to the software and a heavily discounted accreditation. Details of how to pursue accreditation will be found on the Moodle site for this unit.
