How to Find Resale Flat Value After 20 Years?

To estimate the cost of a 20-year-old flat in India, you can follow these steps:

• Estimate the depreciated value of your property using the formula: Original Cost of Structure× (1−Depreciation Rate) ^Age of Flat.

• Over time, let me tell you, depending on the location, land value in India might rise. To determine the current market value of the land per square foot in your area, you can speak with real estate experts.

• Multiply the current land rate by the share of the land area associated with your flat.

• Add the depreciated value of the flat and the current land value with additional expenses to get the total estimated cost.

Let’s understand the flat price after 20 years with an example. If a 20-year-old flat was originally purchased for ₹50 lakhs, and you assume a 1.5% depreciation rate over 20 years, then:

• The structure depreciation value will be 50,00,000× (1−0.015) 20≈₹36,17,000, i.e., ₹36.17 lakh (as calculated based on the above formula),

• The current land value share is estimated to be around ₹60 lakh.

Then the total cost of the flat would be:

Total Cost=36,17,000+60,00,000=₹96,17,000

I hope you understand how to find out the resale value of flat after 20 years.
