The Edge Malaysia-PEPS Value Creation Excellence Award measures the capital appreciation of properties from the developers' selling price to the subsequent resale price in secondary transactions.

The capital appreciation is based on the average percentage increase from the actual transacted price or deemed market value of any subsequent sale of five similar types of properties and the developer’s selling price of those properties, before any discounts accorded for renovations or improvements.

The Edge Malaysia-PEPS Value Creation Excellence Award consists of two categories:

• Residential
• Non-residential (industrial and commercial)

The five-member judging panel comprises representatives from PEPS (Persatuan Pernilai, Pengurus Harta, Ejen Tanah & Perunding Swasta Malaysia/Association of Valuers, Property Managers, Estate Agents and Property Consultants in the Private Sector Malaysia) and The Edge.
