Lamb Hanson Lamb Appraisal Associates, Inc. provides valuation services involving real property that is a part of a larger going concern. It is becoming more common that our clients are asking us to value property where the “real estate” is only one component of a greater total assets of a business or “going concern”. This is an evolving area of valuation which appraisers cannot ignore when analyzing certain property.

In these cases, the real estate component of the total asset of the business are inter-related and inter-dependant.

Federally Regulated lending Institutions are required to accept appraisal reports, that must be, at a minimum, USPAP compliant. USPAP states; “In developing a real property appraisal, appraisers are required by S.R. 1-2(e) (iii) to identify “any personal property, trade fixtures, or intangible items that are not real property but are included in the appraisal.” S.R. 1-4(g) requires that when the scope of work warrants such analysis, the appraiser must analyze the effect on value of any personal property, trade fixtures, or intangible items that are not real property but are included in the appraisal. The Comment to S.R. 1-4(g) states: When the scope of work includes an appraisal of personal property, trade fixtures or intangible items, competency in personal property appraisal (see STANDARD 7) or business appraisal (see STANDARD 9) is required.
