Land is one of the fixed assets that can assure a fixed return on investment in the future. Thus, it is pivotal to determine its actual worth. The market valuation of land is an amount the buyer will pay for it, considering its location, size, zoning, shape, and other key factors.<\/p>\n

There are numerous methods of calculating the market value of land before selling or investing in land. Also, one must note that the value of land keeps fluctuating with the evolving economy. Know how to calculate land value with the below given methods.<\/p>\n

1. Comparative Method for Market Valuation of Land<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the easiest ways of land valuation, a comparative method simply means that you compare the market rates of similar plots in your locality.<\/span>\"How<\/p>\n

Consider a case where your plot measures 1200 sq.ft.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A similar plot of size 2500 sq.ft. was sold in your locality for 90 lacs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, it’s per sq.ft. rate would be 3600\/-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply multiply the per sq.ft.\u00a0rate with the size of your plot = 1200 x 3600\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0= 43.2 Lacs\/-<\/strong><\/p>\n

To know how to calculate land value in India, consider factors such as land size, shape, location, infrastructure, FSI, and more to calculate a more accurate land value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, after calculating these factors, the value of your land could be anywhere between 40 to 50 Lakhs.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Development Method to Calculate Land Value<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Development method of land valuation calculates the market potential of a land parcel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A plot might not initially possess much value at first, but its worth would increase manifold if there is significant infrastructure coming up in the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"HowThe perfect example of this would be the land parcels around the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the plans for the airport were firmed up, the prices started rising spectacularly.<\/span><\/p>\n

As per Hindustan Times – Plots that used to cost \u20b910,000 per sqm have now appreciated to \u20b92.5 lakh sqm!<\/span><\/p>\n

To know more about increasing land prices, you should know the best places for land investment in India<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"5Here\u2019s the formula on how to calculate land value as per this method –\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Land Value = GDV \u2013 (Construction Cost + Profits + Other fees)\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

GDV<\/b> – Gross Development Value (GDV) is an estimate of the project value after its completion in the current market scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n

Construction Cost <\/b>– You must estimate the average cost of construction of the building on your land.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Profit<\/b> – The returns one would get after investing in a piece of land.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other fees <\/b>– These include marketing, legal, and transaction costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Land & Building Method for Land Valuation<\/b><\/h2>\n

With this method, the land and building value are calculated separately to find the final value of the property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"HowHere\u2019s how to calculate land value by the land & building method –\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Calculate building value<\/span><\/td>\nBuilding Value =\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reconstruction Cost – Depreciation Value<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Now calculate the land value<\/span><\/td>\nLand Value =\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Total Property Value – Building Value<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

So, consider a case where it takes around 40 lakhs to reconstruct a building and its estimated depreciation value is 7 lakhs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The building value would be = 40 – 7 lakhs<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = 33 lakhs<\/span><\/p>\n

Now say the value of your property after calculating the rental income is 70 lakhs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, the land value here would be = 70 – 33<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = 37 lakhs\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When to use this method –<\/b> Use this mode of land value calculation if you want to separately know the value of the land and the building constructed on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
