Maintenance, Building Depreciation and Land Rent

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper aims to explore three closely related issues: building maintenance, building depreciation, land rent. What makes these three issues deeply connected is the market value of the property. The choice to carry out preventive or corrective maintenance depends on how the building is affected by age (physical depreciation) and on the trend of land rent. Physical depreciation and land rent are phenomena that act with opposing force in determining the market value of an asset. Because the maintenance is strongly influenced by this value, it becomes crucial to identify the factors that cause it. The combination of the dynamics of two phenomena can (or not) make convenient maintenance. The right interpretation of the correlations in these problem areas can support a better property management / maintenance by owners, managing agents and related parties.
