    <Content>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;In this unit you will consider the role of property and the purpose of valuation. You will examine the five principal methods of valuation and their application. Through lectures and workshops you will develop competence in applying these techniques to various property types and interests, with particular focus on the market and income approaches. You will research and analyse property data and develop understanding of the factors which affect value, the hierarchy of evidence and the reliability of valuations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Through the assessment process, you will be able to explore a sector of the property market in depth.
