In Ethiopia there is no mortgage valuation framework or a regulatory valuation institution. Due to this, financial institutions may value mortgage securities without any clear and consistent basis; resulting in confusion among experts and parties dependent on valuations for their business. Further, there is no previous empirical evidence on how banks or financial institutions value mortgage securities. This study is therefore intended to examine the practice of mortgage valuation adopted by Ethiopian banks by looking at valuation bases and their corresponding approaches. To meet this objective the researchers adopted a qualitative research approach where primary data were collected using key informant interviews from experienced valuers at four Ethiopian banks. The collected data were analysed and interpreted using clustering and the data were categorised into relevant themes. The study found that banks undertake mortgage valuation without any valuation basis, and they consider the cost approach as the only recognised valuation approach. Moreover, property valuers do not have sufficient professional competence in valuation and have no discretion to choose the appropriate valuation approaches. Based on the findings of this research, it is suggested that banks apply market value as a basis of valuation. The market value basis is compatible with the property market context of Ethiopia and international practices. The constitution of Ethiopia also supports it. Furthermore, banks should also adopt either the income, market or cost approaches depending on the nature and type of properties. But the cost approach can be applied as a check and balance on the reasonableness of the value determined using another approach and in cases where the two approaches are inappropriate. Valuers should also be able to use their discretion in selecting valuation approaches. These can be realised by establishing an independent national institution responsible for valuation regulation and certification.
