We converted to freehold in 2008. Does the conversion charge count?

Yes, it forms part of your cost of acquisition, and it is indexed from the year you paid it. Dig out that receipt, because owners forget it regularly.

The plot is from 1989 but our floor was built in 2016.

Then they are treated differently. The land share takes the 1 April 2001 value; the construction is a cost of improvement indexed from 2016. We set both out separately in the report.

Is a Rohini 2001 valuation harder because it is leasehold?

No. Leasehold affects the title and the sale process rather than the valuation method. We value the interest you actually hold and say what it is.

Three of us own three floors of the same plot. One valuation or three?

Three, because you each hold a different asset with a different construction history. We can inspect once and issue separate reports, which is cheaper than three separate visits.

Capital Gains Valuation in Rohini

Rohini raises two questions at once for capital gains: when the plot was allotted, and whether the floor you are selling even existed in 2001. On a plot rebuilt into four floors, those have different answers.

Allotment date, and the leasehold history

Much of Rohini was allotted by the authority through the eighties and nineties, so a large share of owners here are within the 1 April 2001 rule and the substitution is worth real money.

The leasehold position complicates the paperwork rather than the tax. Where a plot was later converted to freehold, the conversion charge paid forms part of your cost, and it is one of the most commonly overlooked additions to the base.

The floor you are selling may be younger than the plot

Most original plots here now carry three or four separately owned floors, and many of those floors were built long after 2001. That splits the question.

The land share is old and carries the 2001 value. The structure on your floor may date from 2015. A proper computation values the land share as at 1 April 2001 and treats the construction cost separately, indexed from the year the work was actually done. Collapsing the two into one figure is the usual error and it costs money.

What evidence exists for 2001 in Rohini

Authority allotment records, the notified circle rate history for a category D colony, and registered sales from the period. Rohini is well documented compared with older private colonies, which makes a 2001 figure easier to defend.

We build the figure from that evidence and show the working. A number with nothing behind it is the reason valuation reports get rejected.

Before you agree a price

Check the current notified value for your sector. Where a sale is agreed below it, the tax computation can proceed on the notified figure, and the difference can also be taxed in the hands of the buyer. It is much easier to deal with before the agreement than after.
