British Consulate,
Shiraz,
August 31st, 1935.
Dear Bazalgette,
Bushire telegram No.749 of to-day and my reply
by telegram No.440.
Argenti, the local Italian builder, has produced his
plan of the Shiraz Consulate property this morning, with his
valuation as follows:-
Ground: (7 peyman and 227 zars of land
at rials 20 per zar) Rials 280000
House: (512 sq.metres at Rials 200) 102400
Offices: (178 sq. metres at Rials 100) 17800
Two guest rooms block 10000
Kitchen block 3500
Store and servants rooms near kitchen block 8400
Gate buildings :
Stables, gatekeepers, &C., rooms 9400
old stables (including garage) 6000
Washhouse, closet, #c. '2750
Property main walls 12500
Garden trees 4000
value of water rights (one fard) 20000
Total value for acquisition and
building of property, at present. Rials 476750
Market value of property, on basis of current
calculation for sales, based on current
practice of deduction of 304 to 30j per cent Rials 321807
2). The price therefore to be demanded, if the property
were to be thrown in the market in the ordinary way would be
Rials 322000. I doubt very much however that anything
approaching this price would be realised. There is no sale
for land and buildings at present and Banks will not take them
on mortgage. The large garden alongside our N.E. wall is
mortgaged to’one of the Banks for Rials 82,000 and this value
is
.A. Bazalgette, Esquire,
etc., etc. , etc. ,

Bushire.
