Company Overview

Do The Sums is a national company operating within the field of due diligence, providing reports for homebuyers and rental agents which identify how homes will perform in terms of value over the next five years.

Jim Marley , principal and owner of dothesums.co.uk has a portfolio of property, but before he bought a property to redevelop to sell or to rent there were a few things he wanted to know.

• The income he would get from the property
• The forecasts of the likely capital growth
• The net rent after the deduction of expenses
• Projected rates of return on invested capital
• Provision for depreciation and tax
• Forecast of property values
• Comparing renting and buying and the indications when to change

He used the above to make sure a property was a good investment.   He then realised that other potential buyers and property developers would benefit from the same information and came up with dothesums.co.uk.
