VALUATIONS
What we do
Knight Frank’s Hotels Valuations team is a complete
property advisory service to the hotel sector.
We are market leaders in hotel valuations with a team of
20 specialists, who value and advise on over £10 billion
worth of properties per annum. Our market coverage
ranges from single properties to large portfolios, working
directly for investors, operators and major banks. A
key strength is the breadth of experience in the hotels
teams that encompasses former hotel employees, pure
property people and key personnel that have over 30 years
experience of valuing and selling hotels.
Whilst we have an undisputed reputation as being the
valuer of choice for country house hotels, this forms only
a small, but important, part of the work we undertake.
We currently advise on over 7,500 bedrooms of new
build development and value bi-annually the largest
independently owned portfolio of Accor assets in the UK.
In short, in the same way that the wider Knight Frank
business has grown over the last 10 years we have also
broadened our work and the professional team provides
expert advice in the following areas:
� Valuation of trading and investment properties
� Development appraisals
� Strategic reviews
� Hotel asset management
� Expert Witness services
� Landlord and Tenant services
� Operator selection
� Management contract and lease negotiations
� Feasibility studies
� Planning advice
� Rating
The close liaison between our professional and transaction
teams enables us to more accurately reflect market
sentiment, which is increasingly important in the current
market where there is a dearth of evidence and an
understanding of what drives investors’ decisions is key.
Knight Frank Hotels has a network of regional and
international offices that ensure we provide a truly
comprehensive service for our clients and, more
importantly, facilitates a full understanding of local as well
global and gateway markets.
Knight Frank are panel valuers for all major UK lending
institutions and European banks.

STRATEGIC
CONSULTANCY &
PUBLIC SECTOR
Advising the public sector with an expert understanding.

STRATEGIC CONSULTANCY
& PUBLIC SECTOR
What we do
Knight Frank’s Strategic Consultancy and Public Sector
department advises a wide range of public bodies
including local and district authorities, development
agencies and government departments.
The team is dedicated to advising public sector clients
and has an in depth understanding of the requirements
of the sector.
The team has 14 chartered surveyors including three
dual qualified surveyors and chartered town planners
experienced in providing regeneration and development
consultancy, strategic estates advice and accommodation
studies. Within the team we have in-depth valuation;
landlord and tenant; land disposal and compensation
skills. Our professional advice covers a wide diversity
of buildings and land within public ownership, and our
valuation reports encompass the following:
� Public sector capital accounting
� Transfers between public bodies
� CPO compensation
� Residual land valuations, including best
consideration valuations
� Development appraisals to test the viability of
proposed schemes
We have experience of valuing both specialist and nonspecialist
assets for public sector accounts purposes
including Local Authority owned shops, community
centres, schools, sport centres, museums, training centres
and development sites.
We also act as an ‘honest broker’ to determine market
value where land and property is to be transferred between
public bodies or as part of land swap arrangements and
where advice is required by local authorities to satisfy the
requirements of s123 of the 1972 Local Government Act.
We also value properties which are to be acquired under
compulsory purchase orders to support negotiations
with owners.
As part of our development consultancy role, we regularly
undertake valuations both within and outside the
provisions of the RICS Red Book to determine the value of
sites owned by the public sector, both on an existing use
and development value basis. These reports are usually
required to inform a land disposal, or to test proposed
schemes on a wider area basis as part of a masterplan,
feasibility study, or formal planning document, such as an
Area Action Plan.
Knight Frank is appointed to the OGC Buying Solutions
Estates Professional Services panel, the HCA National
Property Panel and several other public sector pre
approved supplier Frameworks.

Leasehold
Reform
Knight Frank leasehold reform department
gives advice on all aspects of applications to
extend leases or to buy the freehold of houses
or blocks of flats.

leasehold
reform
The Rights available
The leasehold reform legislation provides for three
principal different rights:
1) If you are the owner of a flat, we can advise you how to
extend your lease by 90 years at a nil ground rent
2) If you are the owner of a house, we can advise you how
to buy your freehold
3) If you live in a block of flats and a majority of the
leasees want to buy the freehold
Extending the lease of your flat
This is governed by the Leasehold Reform, Housing
and Urban Development Act 1993, as amended by the
Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
Qualification
In order to qualify, you must have a lease which, when it
was granted, was for a term of over 21 years. It does not
matter how long now remains. You must have owned this
lease for a minimum period of two years.
Procedure
In summary, you serve a Notice on the freeholder, stating
a realistic figure which you are prepared to pay for the
lease extension. The freeholder replies with a Counter-
Notice which will put forward the price at which he is
prepared to sell. There is then a period for negotiations.
If an agreement is not reached, the matter is referred to a
leasehold valuation tribunal for the tribunal to determine
the figure.
Buying the freehold of your building
Again, this is governed by the Leasehold Reform, Housing
and Urban Development Act 1993 (as amended).
Qualification
The building must be a qualifying block (self-contained
unit) consisting of at least 2 flats held by qualifying
tenants. A qualifying tenant is an individual or a company
who holds a long lease (defined as being one granted for
a term in excess of 21 years). There is no minimum period
of ownership and you do not have to occupy the flat, which
can be let. In order to proceed, at least one half of the total
number of qualifying tenants in the building must agree to
participate in a claim.
Procedure
The procedure is broadly the same as for extending an
individual lease except of course the notice is served by the
nominee purchaser instead of the individual leaseholder.
Buying the freehold of your house
This is governed by the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
as amended.
Qualification
In order to qualify, the building must be “a house”. You
must have owned the lease for a minimum period of 2
years. You no longer have to have lived in the house as
your main home, so the lease can be in the name of a
company and the house can be let.
Procedure
The process is started by serving a Notice on the freeholder
and any head leaseholder. This fixes the valuation date.
The freeholder replies with a Counter-Notice, usually 2
months later. This accepts or denies the claim, and is
usually accompanied by a letter which proposes a price at
which the freeholder is prepared to sell. At any time after
the Counter-Notice, either party may refer the matter to a
leasehold valuation tribunal, although negotiations can
continue up until the date of the hearing, which is some 3
months after the referral.

consultancy
Providing trusted and honest valuation and
consultancy advice on residential property.

ESIDENTIAL ValuationS
& Consultancy
In an ever changing world, trying to keep up to date with
the value of an asset can be a difficult task. Yet it is this
value that is often fundamental in determining personal
plans and proposals. Ensuring that this valuation is
accurate and can be trusted is essential and at Knight
Frank LLP this is achieved by active support and liaison
between teams, including Residential Research,
Information Services, Planning, Building Consultancy,
Leasehold Reform and Development. Whatever the issue,
there is up to date and integrated information and advice,
honestly given.
These issues will be various but may include:
� Loan security – valuations for mortgage purposes. We
operate for the vast majority of High Street and Private
Banks providing RICS “Red Book” compliant reports in
a bank approved format. These are detailed reports in
order to aid the bank in making their lending decision.
� Asset Purposes – whether for the Charities Act,
Company or Public Accounts or for internal transfer
purposes the value of the asset will be a fundamental
requirement.
� Taxation – for Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax or to
provide asset values for overseas taxation, taking in to
account recent case law and precedent. We will also
carry out any necessary negotiation with the Inland
Revenue or appointed Valuation Officer for HMRC.
� Litigation – whether for negligence, contract,
compensation or matrimonial purposes we provide
reports for court purposes which are for the guidance
of the court and are CPR compliant. These can be
single, joint or party appointed.
� Purchase – advice on purchase to include Building
Surveys and Home Buyer Reports in order to assess
the structural integrity and maintenance requirements
of a building.
� Trust – for personal trust purposes, tax assessments
and planning.

Purchase due to road or rail schemes, pipeline or
telecoms claims.

Our wealth of experience in the UK rental market means
you are the first to see a wide range of the most suitable
properties.
Identifying and securing a quality rental property can often
result in complex negotiations with landlords, agents and
solicitors over a wide range of issues such as payment
terms, fixtures and fittings, garden maintenance and
dilapidations. The Buying Solution will undertake these
negotiations on your behalf.
Together with our management team, our service
can continue after you have moved in, ensuring a full
enjoyment of your new home.
