3433 x 1.2 x .85% (efficiency) /90sqm x 197,000 per unit = 1,500,000

If you are not sure on the value – and you do want to sell – why not invest in a professional valuation?

Lots of good advice in the above posts. I would agree with all the sentiments. Only thing i would add is – write a Business Plan – in this instance a Commercial Property Business Plan – with a whole bunch of specifics. On the advice of Steve McNight – I did – and i found the process gave me tremendous focus for the journey.
