Market value and rebuild cost are different numbers that owners constantly conflate: a Sydenham building's price reflects land and location, while its declared value must reflect construction - and for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, 1930s properties and period conversions the two can diverge in either direction; when calculating Sydenham BCIS rebuilds, laser-measured areas in Sydenham set the baseline.
