The question about accuracy and consistency in valuation practice has been subject of interest to the academicians,\udprofessionals and users of valuations not only in Nigeria or developing countries alone but also in the developed\udcountries of the world such as UK, USA, Canada and Australia. Property valuation is the core of Estate Surveying\udand Valuation profession. Thus its accuracy and/or reliability is critical to the valuers, their clients and the\udstakeholders of valuation in general. Earlier studies have confirmed the existence of inaccuracy and inconsistency of\udvaluations in these countries including Nigeria. However, there has not been much study into the factors\udcontributing into inaccuracy and variance in the valuation estimates by the Nigerian valuers. Hence, this study aims\udat examining the causes of inaccuracy and variance in the country’s valuation practice. To achieve the objective of\udthe study, the use of survey method in conjunction with personal interviews with some members of the Nigerian\udInstitution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in practice and academic institutions in some universities and\udpolytechnics Lagos metropolis were used for the purpose gathering data for the study. The data collected were\udanalyzed with the aid of simple statistical tools.
