    Notes: On 1 April 1990, with the introduction of the Uniform Business Rate,came new provisions relating to the rating of empty non-industrialhereditaments. In a booming marketplace, with almost full occupancy, theimposition of a 50 per cent compulsory unoccupied rate charge might passunnoticed. However, in a depressed market, costs incurred by owners ofunoccupied property have widespread implications. Based onunder-graduate research, concentrates on why unoccupied rate liabilitywas introduced in its previous and present form, the reasons for itspast reform and the justification for reform of the present legislation.Analyses the plight of owners today and prepares a case for the reformof the current legislation.

    Reform of UK local government domestic property taxes (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Property management 17 (1999), S. 336-352

    Notes: The importance of local government within the UK has never been stronger, and this has direct implications as to the most appropriate method of financing this level of government. The council tax in Great Britain and traditional domestic rates in Northern Ireland represent the two primary sources of local government finance based on domestic property, which currently require significant reform. Weaknesses of the existing systems include the lack of buoyancy due to infrequent revaluations, horizontal and vertical inequities and the need to ensure that domestic property tax systems are seen to be fair. The paper makes a number of important recommendations which would enhance the acceptability and ultimately improve the operation of these forms of ad valorem taxation.

    An investigation into the use of compulsory acquisitions by agreement (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Property management 15 (1997), S. 38-48 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-7472

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Compulsory purchase is a subject which, over the past decade, has received much attention, particularly with major infrastructure schemes such as the Channel Tunnel and the associated rail link. Examines an area of compulsory acquisition which has received scant attention; that of acquisitions by agreement. Outlines the research focusing mainly on public sector organizations. Outlines the legal and statutory background to acquisitions by agreement; and more importantly the reasons why an authority will choose to pursue the route of acquiring by agreement, as opposed to acquiring by compulsory purchase, particularly when both options are available. Also considers the advantages, and disadvantages, to both the acquiring authority and vendor in acquisitions by agreement.

    Mutual recognition of professional qualifications (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Property management 20 (2002), S. 114-136 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-7472
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: In the light of Europe's experience of its Directive on mutual recognition of professional qualifications and the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) intention to achieve a global marketplace for professional services by identifying "disciplines" which can be applied to all professions, this paper considers a potential methodology for achieving a global system for the free movement of professionals. The paper explains the process of mutual recognition as implemented within the European Union and discusses the approach which the WTO is likely to adopt towards the globalisation of services. The problems which face the surveying profession (including the problem of identifying the various surveying professions which exist in different countries), the role of professional organisations, the nature of "professional competence" and the threshold standards applied to professional competence as a vital component of any mutual recognition process are also discussed.

    Consumer behaviour in the valuation of residential property: A comparative study in the UK, Ireland and Australia (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Property management 21 (2003), S. 295-314 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-7472
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper reports the results of empirical investigations that examine behavioural aspects of residential property valuations. Following the house price collapse of the late 1980s in the UK, there was considerable criticism of the valuation methods used by residential valuers. In particular for the current research, the valuation methods employed by valuers had not taken account of buyer behaviour in the valuation process, which contributed to inaccurate valuations. This research investigates both the attitudes of the consumers of residential property and the actual valuation methods used by valuers to determine whether they account for buyer behaviour accurately. The study was undertaken on a cross-national comparative basis in the UK, Ireland and Australia and pursued on a qualitative basis. Overall, the research concludes that although valuers believe that buyer behaviour is an important part of the valuation process they simply do not consider buyer preferences. In effect, valuers have reduced the valuation task to a confirmation of bid price and, because of lender pressure which occurs worldwide, valuers overlook the economic sustainability of the property asset, which has severe implications for housing markets and national economies that interact with these markets.

    Valuation banding - an international property tax solution? (2002)
    Bradford, West Yorkshire [u.a.] : Emerald
    Journal of property investment & finance 20 (2002), S. 68-83 
    Details
    ISSN: 1463-578X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Since 1993 the UK has used a "banded" property tax as opposed to discrete values for the assessment of residential property. Explains both the advantages and disadvantages of the system. In addition, summarises the main results of empirical research into the use of banded property values which have been unaltered for ten years. In summary, aims to present findings on the continued operation of this unique system, highlighting strengths and weaknesses and its viability/applicability in other countries and jurisdictions in the light of empirical evidence based on the analysis of open market transactions. Discusses both the assessment and administration process and, with the analysis of sales data, demonstrates the importance of regular and frequent revaluations of the tax base in order to ensure a reasonable level of both vertical and horizontal equity. Speculates on the potential application of a banded system of property values in other countries, in the light of the advantages of the banded system which could lend themselves to jurisdictions where an ad valorem system of land taxation is inappropriate; where resources are limited in terms of experienced valuers, or where the availability of technology to undertake mass appraisal would provide added advantages. Concludes by drawing together recommendations in relation to how the system in the UK can be improved and makes recommendations for policy-makers in other jurisdictions.
