DECEMBER 2011 The Downturn in full swing The Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) never heard of IPAV The Central Bank of Ireland entered the debate & issued a DRAFT REVIEW in December 2011 called; “Valuation Processes in the Banking Crisis – Lessons Learned – Guiding the Future” Section 2.2 Valuation Methodology and Provisioning There has been much discussion concerning the basis of valuation in a market with little or no demand. The view of the Central Bank is that a revised Red Book valuation from RICS is the most appropriate way to update the value of the security held by the Credit Institutions.

A Concerning Year - 2012 How did IPAV get here no Valuation standards. How are WE going to get out of here Extinction Looming Many options looked at Irish Valuation Standards, IVSC, TEGoVA, RICS As Michael MacBrien would say ‘Boy did we start to work’ IPAV meets with the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) IPAV must convince the CBI that time is required to successfully implement European Valuation Standards IPAV to deliver fully trained, qualified and certified Valuers who meet with TEGoVA EVS Standards IPAV GETS REPRIEVE

July 2012 Only Valuation Body in Ireland with standards ‘RED BOOK’ Newspaper Article Not for the faint hearted “The Central Bank report did, however, recognise the valuation principles developed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) – the global professional body which works in partnership with SCSI, in accordance with international valuation standards, also known as the Red Book. The Central Bank recommended that lenders should seek Red Book valuations from suitably qualified valuers when considering applications for loans or reviewing existing loans.” The Irish Times Valuer registration a step in right direction By Sean McCormack

2014 - Irish Banks, The Fight Is On A number of Irish Banks had changed their valuation templates stating only Red Book Valuations Accepted IPAV had to change this ethos This extended beyond banks to other Institutions, including Government Bodies The Blue Book was not widely know in the National Press – most never even heard of it ! Valuers own attitudes and mind-set had to change new standards to be adhered to.

2014 Asset Quality Review Phase 2 Manual GREAT NEWS – The EVS Reigns Supremacy “Valuation Standards; Real estate should be valued in line with European Valuation Standards EVS-2012 (Blue Book) and other international standards such as the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) guidelines, with EVS 2012 taking precedence in the event of any conflict (for the avoidance of doubt, this should be considered to apply throughout the document)”

Nov 2014 – Jan 2016 Banking Tribunal & Its Report The only Banking Tribunal in Europe Called to represent Irish Valuers The Inquiry was asked to; ‘examine the reasons why Ireland experienced a systemic banking crisis’ Many Findings; Property or land valuations were not carried out in all cases, even in the case of some large developments. As the property boom took hold, reliance on informal ‘desktop’ and ‘drive by’ valuations, which did not involve any physical inspection of a property, became more prevalent. LET US NOT FORGET THIS Leading to the perfect foundation & reason to advocate the Blue Book, its supremacy & its implementation by IPAV valuers

(2) A creditor shall ensure that internal and external appraisers conducting property valuations are professionally competent and sufficiently independent from the credit underwriting process so that they can provide an impartial and objective valuation, which shall be documented in a durable medium and of which a record shall be kept by the creditor.
