VALUATION

Valuations you can trust to help make the right real estate decisions. Hospitality asset valuation is a core advisory service and a business-critical process.

The process involves:

• Understanding the property and business fundamentals
• Assessing operating potential
• Gathering insight on market conditions and appetite from our colleagues around the world.
• Consulting underlying commercial real estate data

Owners, investors and lenders need to know precisely what a single property, specialized asset or global portfolio is worth in the face of rapidly changing markets. A realistic valuation you can trust is essential in making the right decisions for acquisition, financing and asset sales and to support due diligence, risk analysis, balance sheet reporting, stock exchange listings and assessment of company value.

Our valuations are informed by unrivalled real estate and economic research at local, regional and global levels. We look beyond present value assessments to understand market trends, competing hospitality properties and projected income.

OPERATION SEARCH

An experienced operator engaged under a well thought-through contract can make an enormous difference to the financial performance of a hospitality investment and its ultimate capital value. Our Operator Selection team has the depth and breadth of experience to know what to look for and how to button down the detail to protect the owner’s interests.

The process involves:

• Setting appropriate success criteria
• Searching the market using our extensive database and global network
• Finding a good brand match
• Assessing operator performance record
• Negotiating commercial terms
• Ensuring operating profits and any future asset disposal are not compromised
• Working with the owner’s legal team

Our ultimate aim is to maximize operational performance and asset value. We can only do this by finding the most suitable operator, minimizing contractual risk and creating the conditions for an effective owner/operator relationship.

RETAINER / FEES / CONFIDENTIALITY

Retainers:
Unless specifically requested to do so, we will only act for / represent the purchaser or the seller. Our mission and assignments are aimed at fulfilling the expectations of the parties that engage & remunerates us. In most instances, if requested by bona fide prospective clients, and unless agreed otherwise with our principals, we will be very clear about who we are acting for; This means will only undertake to work for a party once a retainer is agreed, stipulating the terms & condition of our mission.

Our retainers have been tailored to be short, explicit, to define clearly the terms / conditions and mutual tasks of the parties. Our standard retainer also specify the amount of our fees (whether retainer and / or success fees), when they are payable.

Fees:
Unfortunately, we cannot work for free as we have our own P&L to account for. Our fees are a percentage of the total sales and / or acquisition price (including any assumed debt). Depending on the time & scope of our assignment and our ‘’visibility’’ of the proposed transactions Tabah Capital Advisors will charge either, success fees (percentage of total price), and / or a combination of monthly retainer fees (deductible from the success fees).

Confidentiality:
This is one of the most important consideration for many of our clients, whether purchaser and / or sellers and in order to protect the confidentiality of the material and information which we forward on behalf of our clients. Unless specifically requested not to do so, we will ensure a Non Disclosure document is approved by parties prior to sharing information / documents. We will usually propose our Non Disclosure draft document, however are happy to use the vendors, if so requested.

Fee Share Program:
We at TCA recognise the value of confidential information & partnership. TCA will share between 3 to 7% of its own fees with third parties for information leading to a successful transaction (*). This fee share will be paid to the third parties who enable TCA to secure a sales / acquisition mandate on our regular Terms & Conditions. The Fee Share will be paid, in full, upon full receipt of TCA’s own fees.
