1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION

In the course of studying the effect of location on property value accessibility cannot be isolated.

Accessibility in this word considers the time and convenience of getting to a place. This refers to the nature of the road network i.e. rough, smooth undulating to other use wise.

2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PROPERTY VALUE

The first edition of property valuation was published, some thirty years ago not too long after one of these market corrections that despite their inevitability, seen always to catch a new generation of investors and developers by surprise, indeed, notice that as each new edition has been published there has been plenty of evidence of the frequency of these ups and downs. 

Now with the publication of this fifth edition, after thirty years and the evitable transition from the vitality of youth to the firing of old age. It seems fitting that the authorship of property value should now move into entirely new editions (Greeno K. (1979) “Real estate Appraisal Handbook”

Real estate appraisal “valuation” is very complicated, expensive and time consuming activities in carrying out this activities. The implementation of a comprehensive due diligence process to determine the feasibility of any proposed project is essential (Thomas T. 2006) “Property valuation publishers”. Although real property issues vary from to province land.

2.2 GENERAL PRINCIPLE OR PROPERTY VALUE

Property valuation principle comprises of significant component of total Australian economic output in making the kind of appraisal called valuation. The subject property should first be classified as investment property, marketable non-investment property or services property. An investment property can be valued only by the investment analysis method, a marketable non-investment property can be valued only by the sales analysis method, and a services and a service property. The value usually sought is the property’s market value. Appraisal are needed because compared to, say corporate stocks, real estate transactions occur very infrequently, not only that, but every property is different from the next, and a factor that doesn’t affect asset like corporate stocks (Henry, A. Babcock (June 1975)

Furthermore, all properties differ from each other in their location, which is important factor in their value. So a centralized auction setting can’t exist for the trading of property assets such as exists to trade corporate stock (i.e. a stock market/exchange) usually however, most countries or regions require that appraisals be done by a licensed or certified appraisal (in many countries known as a property valuer or land valuer and in British as a “valuation surveyor”.

2.3 PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH PROPERTY VALUE
