Measurement of land and property commentary
This piece of evidence has been prepared and submitted in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors (RICS) Candidates Guide for the AssocRICS qualification. It considers the decisions I made and the
actions taken to resolve an outstanding rent review of 27 Newtown Court, Smiths Green, Fulchester.
I agreed all the relevant terms of engagement with the client in writing prior to instruction. Money laundering
checks were made as per all relevant instructions and a conflict of interest check was undertaken with the result
that there were no such conflicts. Thus the instruction could go ahead as agreed. The instruction was carried out
under the supervision of my AssocRICS supporter and in accordance with RICS Rules of Conduct. All relevant
parties have consented to my use of the following material in this analysis.
I undertook an internal and external inspection of the property on 23 rd
July 2010 under the supervision of a
qualified RICS valuer and noted Newtown Court was constructed in the early 1990’s comprising eight units of
varying sizes totalling 58,163 sq ft.
The property comprises of a detached, two-storey building with brick elevations, aluminium framed double-glazed
windows under a pitched, tiled roof with a full height glass atrium reception area at the front. Internal finishes are
typically painted plastered walls. The property is well lit with good natural light and also via category 2 strip
lighting. It has full gas fired central heating via hot water radiators. Vehicular access is via a made up and adopted
public road. The property benefits from 50 car parking spaces.
In line with the RICS Code of Measuring Practice (Sixth Edition) I measured the premises, on a Net Internal Floor
Area (NIA) basis, to 9,056 sq ft (841 sq m) and a schedule of measured areas is attached.
