- Leasehold interest is valuable to tenants when market rent is higher than their contract rent.
- Escalator clauses can increase rent over time, affecting lease valuation.
Concept Overview:
Appraising partial interests involves valuing ownership rights that are less than full fee simple ownership. These include condominiums, time-share projects, manufactured homes, tenant-in-common (TIC) agreements, lease interests, and other forms of shared or limited ownership. The appraiser must consider lease provisions, ownership rights, and financial structures when valuing these properties.
