Integrated Annual Report 2023 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 311 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 14. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (CONTD.) The Group has no restrictions on the realisability of its investment properties and no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment properties or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements. Description of valuation techniques Under the comparison method, a property’s fair value is estimated based on comparable transactions. This approach is based upon the principle where a potential buyer will not pay more for the property than it will cost to buy a comparable substitute property and would indicate, by the known selling price of the duplicate, the price for which the subject property could be sold. Investment properties valued using the comparison method with significant adjustments made for differences such as location, size, condition, accessibility and design (“adjustment factors”) are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs for this category of investment properties, which are the adjustment factors, range generally between -25% and 20% (2022: -20% and 15%) of the property’s comparable. Sensitivity analysis An increase in the price per square feet of comparable properties in the surrounding vicinity will result in an increase of fair value of the investment properties.
