Property investment has been viewed as a route to financial security. The number of property programmes on television has reflected and then helped to create more interest in UK property investment.

Free Development Site or Property Price Calculator
In response to a number of requests for guidance on prices to offer for repossessed properties in our newsletter I decided to create a helpful calculator.
Whenever I look at a project for a client who needs finance I work the project backwards from the Gross Development Value and then come up with a maximum figure that can be paid for the site or the building to be refurbished.
This is essential in today's climate. You need to know the maximum price you can afford before entering into a negotiation. Too many people negotiate a deal on the site and then try to make the project fit.
The calculator works like this.
- You fill in the details of the properties and their end values
- You then fill in details of the build costs
- Then fill in non build costs
- Finally put in the % profit margin you want to achieve
The calculator automatically totals everything up and calculates a maximum price that you should pay in order to achieve your desired profit.
It's very simple to use and saves a lot of scribbling on envelopes and head scratching.
How To Get It
At the top of the right hand navigation bar is a short form to register for updates to this blog. Complete the form and after you confirm your subscription you will get an email with the calculator attached.
