Building a basic viability model
£0.00
In this fast paced session we will build a basic rented viability model from scratch in excel and explain how the model is put together. By the end of the session attendees should understand the inputs and assumptions that feed into a viability model and how they combine to produce and calculate loan calculations and net present value.
Building Shared Ownership Appraisals
£0.00
In this fast paced session we will build a basic shared ownership viability model from scratch in excel and explain how the model is put together. By the end of the session attendees should understand the inputs and assumptions that feed into a viability model and how they combine to produce and calculate loan calculations and net present value.
Description
In this 2 hour session we will build a basic Shared Ownership appraisal in front of attendees. We’ll run through how shared ownership works and why it typically performs so well in NPV terms compared to other tenures.
