(CommercialRealEstate.com.au, 2019).
A closer look on the estimated value of the property over the years would give an idea as to the
capital appreciation in the value of the property since it was purchased by the current owner /
owners in February 2011. In February 2011 the property was last sold at a price of $4,350,000
and the scale below shows the expected median sale price of house properties at present on the

With current value of the property estimated at $7,767,450 the capital appreciation of the
property over the 8 years period earned by the investor is itself around $3,417,450. The capital
appreciation is almost 80% of the price at which the property was acquired by the investor in
February 2011. Considering that the property is an industrial warehouse it has provided
significant return to the investor in the form of annual lease and rental in addition to the capital
appreciation in the value of the property which is unrealized (Inward investment, 2016).
Mortgage requirements:
Large commercial and industrial properties have relatively easier terms and conditions as per as
mortgage requirements are considered. Considering the huge value of the property let us find out
the mortgage terms and conditions of the property by using the value of the property in two
different times lines, i.e. for February 2011 and July 2019 (Pupentsova and Livintsova, 2018).
In February 2011 the property was sold at $4,350,000 thus, the mortgage repayments calculation
of the property in terms of acquisition value of $4,350,000 is provided below.
