FAQ’s How is the RCA calculated?

Who pays for the RCA to be carried out?

The valuation is based on the gross internal area of a property, and rebuild costs as sourced from the RICS Building Costs Information Service, pricing from completed projects we have undertaken and elemental costs from other cost information resources. We also take into consideration any non-standard features that will increase the rebuild costs as well as costs involved in demolition and site clearance and professional fees applicable. Site restraints and access issues are also considered as well as shoring up of any adjoining premises and other associated costs.

Commercial FRI lease often specifically allow for the cost of carrying out an RCA to be rechargeable to the tenants of a property. On residential properties the leases will likewise allow for the cost to be recovered through the tenants insurance obligations.

Who is responsible to insure a property?

It is the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that the correct level of insurance is in place for a property. Failure to do so could result in inadequate payouts from insurers or, in some cases, repudiation of the claim. Additionally, if a property was not insured to a sufficient level, it could result in a tenant making a claim for negligence on the landlord or their managing agent.

What is the RCA procedure?

We will if required, review the lease and advise whether the fee for carrying out the RCA can be recovered from the tenants. Once this has been established, we will arrange to visit the site to measure and inspect the property. We aim to complete our valuation and report within two weeks of visiting the property.

How often do I require an RCA to be carried out?

The RICS recommendation is that a full RCA should be carried out every 3 years. It is essential that whenever there is a material change to the building, the RCA should be reassessed.
