The Challenge

Throughout their careers in real estate investment, Northtree’s founders Nathan Hargreaves and Sandy Wilson had found existing software platforms to be difficult to use and unfit for purpose.

The launch of Northtree presented the opportunity to find a solution that could meet their requirements:

  • An auto-population tool to remove errors and save time associated with manual entry
  • An intuitive interface that required little or no training
  • A Microsoft Excel interface for familiarity and flexibility
  • A suite of traditional valuation metrics alongside full discounted cashflow analysis
  • Financing logic that enabled refinancing and multiple tranches
  • The ability to share models and collaborate both internally and externally with partners
  • Security, protection/integrity and version control
  • Professional outputs that utilise graphs and charts
