In the property market causes of appreciation usually occur because of inflation. It is hard to measure the level of appreciation and it is often an estimate of an Assets worth, rather than a solid figure. It is more common for a business to experience depreciation of assets, such as machinery that will lose its worth over the years and will be sold on for a lower price at a later date.
