Research the NW real estate market, with a specific focus on East Manchester to provide a full market commentary, which should also highlight any factors, which could have either a positive or negative impact on the GDV or Development Costs for the site. Prepare a fully costed valuation to calculate your opinion of the residual land value based on the information that has been provided by the local agent (please see below). The valuation should be presented on a separate excel spreadsheet, but your report must include a clear explanation for the client of the method of valuation and your main assumptions for the GDV and Development Costs.

Assessment Brief/Task

 

The Manchester Crane Survey, 2021 produced annually by Deloitte provides a useful market insight into construction and property development activity in Salford and Manchester. The report monitors new starts on site, planning applications and permissions and refurbishment schemes to enable a thorough analysis of the quantity and type of new floorspace which has (and is in the pipeline) to be delivered over the next few years. Whilst construction activity is resilient, this can vary quite significantly between the different sectors. The outlook, whilst remaining positive states that there may be an element of “levelling” off in the future.

 

A new client has recently contacted your property development consultancy for advice on a potential development opportunity in East Manchester that has been brought to their attention. Whilst they have an established, successful manufacturing business, they have no experience in property development, or any active involvement in the real estate market. They believe that property development is a “high risk/ high reward” activity and would like to seek professional advice before they decide if this venture is the right opportunity for them.

 

The client has been sent property particulars from a local agent for the sale of land of a redundant public house situated on Ashton Old Road, Manchester (M12 6LP), close to Manchester City Centre and the Etihad Stadium. The current owners submitted plans and an application for planning permission for a scheme of apartments, with ground floor commercial use and have received full consent. This development opportunity is to be sold freehold, with vacant possession and the agent has confirmed that there are no onerous covenants or restrictions on title.

 

The client are very keen football fans and would like to pursue a development opportunity in this part of the city, as they consider East Manchester to be an “up and coming” area. However, they are a little concerned that the real estate market in Manchester/ Salford may now have reached its saturation point. To make progress, your consultancy has now been instructed to research the NW real estate market, advise on the residual value of the land, and to appraise this opportunity.

 

The advice will be presented in a report, which will be shared with the client’s investors and must cover all the following:

 

1. Research the NW real estate market, with a specific focus on East Manchester to provide a full market commentary, which should also highlight any factors, which could have either a positive or negative impact on the GDV or Development Costs for the site. (ILO’s 1, 7; 750 words)

 

2. Prepare a fully costed valuation to calculate your opinion of the residual land value based on the information that has been provided by the local agent (please see below). The valuation should be presented on a separate excel spreadsheet, but your report must include a clear explanation for the client of the method of valuation and your main assumptions for the GDV and Development Costs. (ILO’s 2,5,7; 750 words)

 

Site area: 1,500 sq m

Location: Ashton Old Road, Manchester, M12 6LP

Tenure: Freehold

Planning: Full planning permission has been granted

Proposed scheme: Demolition of existing, derelict public house and construction of a 9 storey, new build, single apartment block comprising 54 apartments (12 x 1 bedroom (50 sq m), 39 x 2 bedroom (75 sq m) and 3 x 3 bedroom (100 sq m). Ground floor commercial space, to a “shell” specification of 7,500 sq ft (which may be capable of sub- division)

S106 contribution: £500,000 for a placemaking strategy, in lieu of any affordable housing.

Demolition costs: £75,000 – £100,000

Finance: Available at 7% interest

Build period: 24 months

 

The market value for apartments in East Manchester can be researched from databases and local property agent’s websites. Resources such as Co- star, can be used for comparable evidence for the commercial space. You will need to make your own reasoned assumptions on BCIS build costs, professional fee’s, developers profit, project contingency and any other required costs.

 

3. The client is aware that property development is a an inherently high- risk activity and that they are inexperienced in this sector. They would like your report to include an analysis of the systematic and unsystematic risks that they may incur if they were to proceed with the purchase of the land and development of the proposed scheme. This section also include advice on how these could be mitigated. (ILO’s 1,3,5; 500 words)

 

4. It is expected that that this will be a good opportunity and that the client should now proceed with a purchase of the land. They would like your reasoned advice on how the scheme should be marketed and for any ways in which they could potentially increase the GDV or reduce the Development Costs to increase their profit. (ILO’s 1,3,7; 500 words)

 

The date for the residual valuation will be the submission date for this coursework assessment. You can make assumptions but please ensure that these are reasonable and have been clearly explained for the client.

 

This is a fictional property development project, so you should not contact Manchester City Council for any information regarding the hypothetical planning consent. However, the local plan, strategic regeneration framework and LPA website can be reviewed.

 

The client will be provided with your advice in the form of a report, and this should refer to the relevant valuation and property development procedures which are currently in place in England. Please ensure that all the required points in the client’s brief have been fully addressed and that you accord with the required word count for each specific task.

 

The residual valuation should be prepared on a excel spreadsheet and emailed to L.Buchanan1@salford.ac.uk by the required time and date. The submission will not be complete until both elements have been received. Additional tabs can be used for any supporting information.

Ethnography Assignment

Ethnography involves studying and writing about a particular group, community, or subculture. Your role in this assignment is that of a primary researcher. The point of ethnography is to watch, to try to understand what’s going on, and to ask questions to test your observations.

 Here are some examples of observation sites:

– Barber shops, nursing homes, firefighters, religious institutions, political organizations, self-help groups, emergency medical squads, athletic teams or games, concerts, businesses of all sorts (fast food restaurants, stores, bars, night clubs, coffee houses, gyms, hotel lobbies, etc.), fraternities, sororities, clubs, internet forums, subcultural groups (skateboarders, punk rockers, biker group, etc.), theatre troupes, schools, prisons, subway or ferry riding during peak and off-peak times, train or bus stations, airports etc. You can also compare two separate sites.

Notice what is interesting about this community and the way community members interact with each other. Attempt to understand how the people you’re observing view their world. This means you must observe closely, take good notes, and distance yourself from the site you’re observing. Remember, you are an observer, not a participant observer for this assignment. You may want to divide people into social categories within this space, and write about how they perform different roles. Also record your feelings about what you see, hear, and experience. Pay attention to details – sights, smells, etc. Take careful notice of language and jargon used. You also may want to sketch diagrams or take pictures of the spaces you are talking about.

– Write a report (a paper) of what you have found using the following three sections:

  1. Positioning yourself as the researcher: Why did you choose this site? How did you feel about it going in according to your own history (age, race, gender, background, etc.)? What assumptions did you make about this culture?
  2. What can you say about the people in this social space? This section is the bulk of your paper. Drawing from your field notes, tell us what you saw and heard. Talk about the patterns and rituals you observed. What are the “rules” or norms of this place? Which way is the right way to behave? How do you know who is an outsider? Here you are creating a picture of your culture, so don’t forget about dialogue, descriptions, etc.
  3. Reflections: What have you learned about yourself in the process of studying this subculture? For example, if you researched a comic book store, do you now understand what aspects of the store surprised you or intrigued you? What have you learned about the group you studied or society as a whole? Instead of giving a comprehensive overview, you should concentrate on specific points. You should not only restate what others have told you, but should develop your own conclusions from your observations. However, all of these conclusions must be supported by observation or existing research on the type of site you are observing (not a requirement).

Discussion 3

In Chapter 12, race and ethnicity are presented in detail. When looked at from a sociological perspective, the concepts of race and ethnicity and the consequences of these terms are far more complex than common usage and everyday understanding.

In your discussion posting, first:

1) Discuss from a sociological perspective the difference between race and ethnicity, along with the terms prejudice, racism, and scapegoat. Explain how your racial or ethnic identity has played a significant (positive or negative) role in your life?

2) Racial and ethnic stereotypes are everywhere in the mass media (social media, television ads, magazines etc). Surveying some of these mediums, identify racial or ethnic stereotypes in the media. Who were the targets?

Discuss factors important to the general health of infants including nutrition, immunization, illness, infection, safety and injury, poverty, housing, and mental health.

Complex Case Study Presentation

State 3–4 objectives for the presentation that are targeted, clear, use appropriate verbs from Bloom’s taxonomy, and address what the audience will know or be able to do after viewing.
Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.
Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
Pose three questions or discussion prompts, based on your presentation, that your colleagues can respond to after viewing your video.

Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?

Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?

Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of 3 possible diagnoses and why you chose them. List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis, and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and is supported by the patient’s symptoms.

Plan: What was your plan for psychotherapy (include one health promotion activity and patient education)? What was your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters, as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan.

Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the session again? If you are able to follow up with your patient, explain whether these interventions were successful and why or why not. If you were not able to conduct a follow-up, discuss what your next intervention would be.

Explain that there is a lot of research about language impairments when the left hemisphere is damaged, but there is not as much about RIGHT hemisphere which is the focus of the essay. Explain the role of the right hemisphere with regards to pragmatic functions.

/in /by

Pragmatic language impairments

The essay will be about pragmatic language impairments. In particular as a result of damage to the RIGHT hemisphere (NOT the LEFT hemisphere). You can certainly start off in the Introduction by mentioning the theory of lateralisation (that is how right and left hemisphere have supposedly different functions). You can also explain that there is a lot of research about language impairments when the left hemisphere is damaged (the left hemisphere is considered the site of language), but there is not as much about RIGHT hemisphere which is the focus of the essay. Explain the role of the right hemisphere with regards to pragmatic functions. Remember that this is an essay for a module in Neurolinguistics. Therefore, the focus has to be on the linguistic aspect, anything that is related to language (ignore things like difficulty in understanding people’s facial expressions or changes in behaviour due to right hemisphere damage). You only have to analyse the effects on different aspects of language such as

  • Speech acts (a threat, joke, promise).
  • Register (may be overly informal).
  • Initiating, terminating, turn-taking in
  • conversational exchanges.
  • Providing sufficient information for
  • communicative intention (relevance).
  • Adequate or appropriate prosody/tone.
  • Coherence of discourse topic, maintenance and shif
