What it is
A good buy can still be the wrong buy for you. The same property suits one household and strains the next, because the price is only part of it. The loan, the rent, the holding costs, your income and whose name it goes in decide what it costs you each week, and for how long. The property check shows you those numbers before you sign.
Who it suits
Someone who has found a property and wants to see how it sits against their own numbers before they commit. A first investment or the fifth, a house, a duplex or a dual-income home, established or new.
Who it does not suit
Someone who wants to be told whether to buy. The property check shows what the numbers say; the decision stays yours. And if you have not found a property yet, there is nothing to run. Start with a conversation instead.
What you get
- A short intake form: the property, your loans, your income, and the assumptions you want tested.
- A cash flow analysis of the property, built from your own inputs.
- Where you want it, the property’s effect on your wider position, not only its own cash flow.
- A video call with Nicholas to walk through it and test the what-ifs you set: a higher or lower growth rate, a rate rise, a vacancy.
