Definition of Values
There are four types of valuation that Loeb uses as the basis for their appraisals:
- Forced Liquidation Value (FLV): (previously known as "public auction value") The estimated gross income of a well-prepared and properly advertised sale conducted on the premises at the present time.
Timeframe: 2-3 Months - Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV): The estimated gross proceeds that could be expected from the forced piecemeal Sale (and removal) of subject property, privately negotiated.
Timeframe: 6-9 Months - Fair Market Value (FMV For Removal): The estimated highest gross value which a willing buyer would be justified in paying where the buyer would not continue to use the subject property in place for continued (same or similar) operations on a turnkey basis.
- Fair Market Value (FMV In Place): The estimated highest gross value which a willing buyer would be justified in paying where the buyer would continue to use the subject property in place for continued (same or similar) operations on a turnkey basis.
