We understand that a large part of assessing property projects involves looking at many different scenarios. These could be different finance options, different unit mixes, different tenures, different purchase prices and the list goes on.
We have built a new feature to help you to compare scenarios and make smarter decisions. Let's take a closer look at how this works and some use cases.
Once you have create a feasibility, the first step is to create multiple scenarios. The best way to do this is to select 'Copy' from the menu on the right side of the feasibility you wish to create a copy from. Now you can edit your second scenario and make the changes you want to make.
The next step is to select which scenarios to compare. We do this by selecting the tick box next to the scenarios that we wish to compare. When you have made your selection, your will see the count of scenarios in brackets on the 'Compare' button. Press this to launch the comparison.
In this example, I am looking at comparing the existing planning for 30 residential units and the potential enhanced planning consent for 35 residential units. In the compare window you can see a full breakdown of all of the key metrics and a high level overview of the main numbers for the scenario.
In this example below I wanted to see the difference between three different finance options, each with different interest rates and levels of gearing. The higher the gearing, the lower the amount of equity required but the higher the cost.
