Sommario/riassunto |
|
From the Foreword by Dr Valmond Ghyoot, Emeritus Professor of Real Estate, University of South Africa: 'The valuation profession, the legal profession, property industry participants in general and students will welcome publication of this book. Investors, environmental groups and affected property owners will find essential information for use in their decision-making, development objections and claims. My hope is that [it] will provide answers where required and that it will help to improve the professional standard of valuations and appraisals internationally. |
