How are rent rolls valued in New Zealand?

Rent rolls are most commonly valued based on annualised management fees across a multiplier range. This range differs from region to region and again within a region when looking at city say compared to rural location.

The primary factors in determining rent roll value include:

-average rent
-average management fees
-number of properties
-and of course location of rent roll
Secondary factors include

-age of rent roll
-number of owners versus properties ratio
-arrears
-vacancy
-market demand
-other sales in the same or similar location
-additional fees and potential “additional” revenue

The way rent rolls are valued are specific to our industry.  There are other less used valuing methods, typically used when secondary revenue streams to management fees, sit higher than average.
