BIM60120 - Measuring the profits (particular trades): land: trading transactions: acquisition and disposal of superior interest: advice of District Valuer

The amount of the trading profit will be determined, in part by the market value of the tenancy.

The District Valuer’s assistance should be sought at an early stage, following the instructions at BIM51560 onwards.
