Strategic Development & Investment Advice

Property Valuation

We provide professional land administration advice including lease modification and land exchange applications, waiver applications, short-term tenancy applications, land premium and waiver fee assessment & negotiation and other land-related matters. PPS also provides expert property advisory for both public sector (e.g. government planning and infrastructure studies) and private sector clients, including many of the leading property developers and many public corporations, multi-national companies and private families and individuals in relation to all aspects of property value, development, investment, ownership and occupation. In addition, we advise our clients on statutory town planning procedures, including Application for Amendment of Plan under Section 12A and Application for Planning Permission under Section 16, many of which also involve the co-ordination of multi-disciplinary consultancy teams assembled in connection with technical submissions to the Town Planning Board for complicated and larger-scale planning studies.

PPS conducts regular independent valuations for clients involving residential, office, industrial, retail, hospitality asset classes and institutional grade properties for accounting, financing and court submission purposes. As a senior member of the surveying profession, Mr. Nicholas Brooke is frequently consulted on issues relating to value, and has acted as an independent expert and independent expert witness on many occasions and many of these appointments relate to the requirement for an independent view as to rental or capital value.
