FAQ
Get answers to commonly asked questions about Forbury
What sectors and regions does Forbury cater to?
For the UK and Europe, Forbury supports the office, industrial, retail and multifamily sectors with regionally specific models that were built and tested alongside in-market industry professionals. Outside EMEA, we also have regionally specific products for Asia-Pacific and North America.
How long does onboarding take?
Forbury is easy to learn and our users are typically able to create their first model within 30 minutes of getting familiar with the software. Soon after, they are able to model deals in less than 15 minutes. Users can access a comprehensive knowledge base including in-model tutorials at their convenience.
What makes Forbury so fast?
Fast, cloud engine computing means that your large, complex models no longer take a toll on your computer. This significantly reduces calculation times.
Forbury’s intuitive format and modern time-saving features also allow you to import tenancy data from PDF or Excel, manage multiple scenarios in one workbook and directly feed outputs into your custom reports.
What is the Forbury Add-in?
The Forbury Add-in controls the calculation and the structure of the model, collects your model inputs, runs them through the cloud calculation engine, and sends them back to your workbook.
It augments your model with features impossible in a traditional Excel workbook. The Forbury Add-in provides enhanced security and does not rely on VBA Macros which can introduce known security risks.
Does Forbury do DCF?
Yes, Forbury calculates up to 20 years' worth of monthly cashflows each time you run the model. You can choose between the levels of granularity you want to see, making our cashflows incredibly easy to audit. Forbury also uses the capitalization rate approach (1-year forward NOI).
