1. What is an appraisal?
2. Who is qualified to prepare an appraisal?
Accredited appraisers with a national designation AACI (Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute) are the only ones accepted by INAC and PWGSC, financial institutions and government agencies
P. App. – Professional Appraiser
3. Appraisal standards; CUSPAP (Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice)
![Page 9: Cliff Smirl #LGEDC2016 - First Nations National Land Governance & Economic Development](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587aba9e1a28abc0478b54b1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

• The Appraisal Institute of Canada requires compliance with Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP).
• While conformance with the Standards is important, members are constantly encouraged to engage in “best practices.”
• The rules are “principle based” (they allow members some latitude in how they approach certain appraisal problems).
• However, some members are overly sensitive to client requests or demands to complete work that may not suit the end use due to fee constraints, time constraints, or simplified Terms of Reference.

• The Terms of Reference are critical in every appraisal.
• They lay the foundation or basis for the premise of value.
15
![Page 16: Cliff Smirl #LGEDC2016 - First Nations National Land Governance & Economic Development](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587aba9e1a28abc0478b54b1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• What Interest in the land is to be valued?• Is it the Leased Fee interest?• Is it the Leasehold interest?• Is it to be considered on an “as if fee
simple” basis?• What Assumptions are to be made?
– Are they reasonable?– Does it matter?

• Example of the importance of clear Terms of Reference
• Is this land to be valued as remote oceanfront acreage with no services? or…. Potential deep sea port? If as a Port, are all approvals to be considered in the valuation?

• Is the interest in the land marketable? – Leasehold Interests:
• Prepaid Head Lease (typically long-term in nature)

• The market value of a prepaid leasehold interest is primarily a function of the permitted use and term.
• Generally attracts the most substantial developments.
• Can be readily subleased (if done correctly☺).

• Market value of land as freehold typically establishes the upper limit of value for long-term prepaid leases as…– The lessee doesn’t enjoy full bundle of rights.– The leasehold interest is more difficult to finance.– The term is finite.– Permitted uses are often limited and defined.– Political climate on the Reserve can impact value.
• The value of a long-term prepaid lease relates more to "market value” than "rental value.”

• The Highest and Best use of the land must be assessed.
• The lease indenture must be secured for sublease.
• Sound advice from qualified, experienced appraisers, lawyers, and financial advisors is essential.
• The market will always be the driving force for development on Reserve lands.

![Page 35: Cliff Smirl #LGEDC2016 - First Nations National Land Governance & Economic Development](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587aba9e1a28abc0478b54b1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Specific Claims need to be addressed in a fair and reasonable manner.
