What has more financial weight - a building that's been managed for 20 years coming to the end of its contract or a building with a newly signed three-year contract?

answer

Both are important, but in terms of valuation, the contract tenure is slightly more important than the 20 years.

When you go through these transactions, the acquirers look at contracts. You're transferring a relationship, but the comfort factor is the contract tenures. A three-year contract tenure is very attractive for any purchaser.

The fact that you've managed a client for 20 years is a qualitative factor in your favour. It shows you have longevity and have built up goodwill.

Both are important, but in terms of valuation, the contract tenure is slightly more important than the 20 year management term.
