Abstract
In Search for accuracy and consistency in valuation,there has been a recurrent problem of identifying the accuracy consistency benchmark(a maximum acceptable margin of error)beyond which valuations should be considered negligent.This work is aimed at discovering such a margin of error in the Nigerian context(for stable market condition)from the view points of both valuers and the clients.The research method involved the distribution of questionnaires to 195 estate surveyors and valuers in lagos metropolis and all 25 the commercial banks in the country.The responses demonstrated that the benchmark for valuation variance in Nigeria could range between 11.1%(as suggested by valuers)It was noted that the 13.16%(as suggested by their mortgage valuation clients). It was noted that the appropriate implementation of such a margin of consistency in unstable market conditions must be cautious and flexible,taking into consideration the availability of data.
