Case Study: Real Estate Financier

The client had a suite of tailored models for raising finance on behalf of property owners and developers. There are confidentiality issues and there is no need for extensive model redevelopment. The client has a particular need to be able to come into line with other banks' calculation methods from time to time, so the models have to be flexible with regard to how rent and interest is calculated, amongst other things.

What was needed was the best way to apply BF's real estate functions for rent, breaks, TI's, interest and lease information.

We worked with a series of extracted sheets from the models, finetuning them in some cases and demonstrating techniques in others, to make the formulae that employed Business Functions more robust, faster and more flexible. If required, we added an option here or there to the core BF library, where the need for a certain facility was exposed.

The client very much developed their own model, but used modelling structures we were able to supply.

Implementation Assistance

For the most efficent use of your time in developing a model, consider our implementation assistance service. You build and retain 'ownership' of the model, but we are there to develop key sections where a more detailed knowledge of Business Functions is required.

Rather like having an expert technician at your fingertips, our implementation assistance service is charged on a time spent basis, and we can discuss with you at the outset and as we go along what the cost prognosis is.

Tasks we have assisted in recently include:

  • A investment portfolio valuation model.
  • A mortgage valuation system.

The advantage of the implementation assistance service is that you only use as much of us as you really need, and the business analysis side of the implementation is done by you, who have the detailed understanding of the problem - the ' big picture'.

As with the bespoke service we operate over the internet for the implementation assistance service, but are available within reason for face-to-face meetings, which we cannot recommend highly enough as a way to communicate understanding.
