RICS Valuation

WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital)

The blended required return on an investment, weighting cost of equity and cost of debt by their proportions in the capital structure.

Detailed explanation

In real estate DCF valuation, the WACC is the discount rate applied to future cash flows. A typical 2026 Moroccan real estate WACC breaks down as: risk-free rate (Moroccan 10Y bond ~3.5%), plus real estate premium (3-4 points), plus equity premium for asset specifics (2-3 points). Prime office 8.5-9.5%, secondary office 9.5-10.5%, industrial 10-11%. Choice of WACC materially affects DCF outcome — a 50 bps change can move Market Value by ±5%.

Moroccan example

Our Hay Riad Rabat office DCF uses WACC 9.0% (risk-free 3.5% + property premium 3.0% + equity 2.5%). At 9.5% WACC, the MV would drop from 121 to 115 M MAD.
