Discount rate expresses the time value of money over an investment horizon. We determine the discount rate based on growth rate and yield of a given property according to their type and location (i.e. default discount rate). However, the discount rate also compensates for the risk which an investor is willing to take over the investment. Therefore, discount rate could be adjusted according to your needs (e.g internal rate of return, weighted average cost of capital and so on) by changing the number on your own. If there is no discount rate is provided, the valuation uses the default discount rate as specified in the above.
The feature is now available for properties in Finland and United Kingdom with all commercial types of units: "Office", "Retail", "Storage".
