"Do The Sums" Reports

The housing market has changed and it's no longer easy to decide, which is the right property for you. The good news is that dothesums.co.uk can help you make the best choice.

Many property value websites will tell you how prices have risen or fallen over past years, but we are almost unique in estimating the future value of your house/flat.

Using sophisticated techniques that have only previously been used on large capital projects, ‘do the sums' reports look ahead for five years. Mathematical relationships are sought between past and present prices and also between a price to be forecast and other information, such as local economic activity, interest rates and employment levels.  If the relationship is strong enough to justify an attempt at forecasting, mathematical models are built to use in the forecasting process and the calculations are carried out.

 

Which ‘Do the sums’ report is the right one for you?

First time buyers often need advice on making the biggest purchase of their lives:

  • Is the property I like a safe investment?
  • Is it likely to increase in value, or at least, not go down in value?

Homeowners

Homeowners who wish, or need, to move are looking to reduce risk in the current financial climate

  • We need to change location, but are finding it hard to sell our property. Should we sell at a loss, or rent the house out while renting a property in the new area?
  • We like a few different areas. How can we tell if one property, or area, will be a better buy than another?

Property Investors

Property investors are also taking stock of their portfolios:
  • How can I forecast the value of my portfolio to ensure that I'm investing in and holding onto, the best properties?
  • How can I get detailed financial reports, so that I can accurately manage my investments?

The strengths and consistencies of the relationships that the forecasts rely upon vary greatly, however, our service attempts to optimise all forecasting techniques to ensure that the most likely outcome, on the basis of the data history, is used.
