Property Feasibility Studies Made Easy on a PC

Imagine undertaking financial feasibility studies for property development projects and property investments with consummate ease on your desktop, laptop or notebook, i.e. without much prior feasibility software tuition but with plenty of 'thinking' already done for you and lots of easily-accessed help available to you.

Feastudy 11 Demonstration Video

We have developed an instructional video for Feastudy 11 Professional which illustrates some of the features and benefits of using Feastudy 11 for a residential development proposal. To get the video started, click on its play button and then, to see the video in a larger view, click on the YouTube button that then appears and then click the Full Screen button in the bottom right-hand corner of the video’s display in YouTube.

Feastudy 11 Professional

Feastudy 11 Professional is the industry standard software tool for developers, investors, valuers and financiers to investigate all of the following from the one software package:

  • The financial feasibility of undertaking property development projects.
  • After-tax investment feasibility studies for developing-and-holding income-producing real estate.
  • After-tax investment feasibility studies for 'already developed' income-producing real estate.
  • Residual values for property development sites and property investments.

Feastudy 11 Lite

Feastudy 11 Lite is an industry standard software tool for developers and valuers to investigate:

  • Residual land values for property development sites.

Using either version of Feastudy 11 does not even require a knowledge of how to use Microsoft Excel because both versions of Feastudy 11 run independently of it. Furthermore, in Feastudy 11 Professional you can export every type of its reports for a feasibility study file to a CSV file. You can then open that CSV file in Excel and save its contents in an XLSX file.

Feastudy 11 Professional and Lite versions can quickly, accurately and comprehensively calculate and display the following reports for all types of development proposals:

  • Three types of forecast profit and loss statements (including margin and internal rate of return information).
  • GST summary.
  • Categorised cashflows and itemised cost cashflows for monthly intervals.
  • Sensitivity analysis tables for variations in up to and including eight critical variables (such as construction cost and interest rates).
  • Inputs details.

Comprehensive financial information for an investment proposal is given in similar types of reports in Feastudy 11 Professional, taking into account, among other things, the investor's:

  • Investment purchase price.
  • Rental income for various tenants at various escalation rates.
  • Equity injections.
  • Borrowing interest rate.
  • Marginal tax rate and capital gains tax rate.
  • Negative and/or positive gearing.
  • Depreciation on building, plant and equipment,.

Graphs for development proposals are also available for viewing on-screen and printing to paper from both versions of Feastudy.

When the user enters his or her required IRR and/or margin criteria, after all other relevant variables have been entered, both versions of Feastudy 11 can be used to help determine the residual value of a development site for a particular development proposal and Feastudy 11  Professional can also be used to determine the residual investment value for an 'already developed' investment proposal.

Advantages of Feastudy 11 Professional

  • It is quick, accurate and comprehensive, in dealing with all types of development and investment proposals, including multi-staged and multi componented projects. 
  • After you enter the relevant data, it can give you all of the critical financial information you need for four types of property feasibility studies: property development, property investment, residual land valuation and residual investment valuation. 
  • The program's output is readily acceptable information for property financiers and accountants. 
  • Feastudy 11 Professional can save you many hours of time creating and maintaining a feasibility study/cashflow worksheet on a spreadsheet program because only data entry is required. The program sets up a cashflow according to the dates you enter. No re-programming is required.

This means you can compare project or investment returns on an "apples for apples" basis. 
  • Sensitivity analysis tables and graphs for critical variables help you readily perceive the importance of securing a certain sale price, a certain interest rate, etc. to achieve required returns. 
  • The program is very user friendly and its reports are very reader friendly.
