The 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 Add-in provides enhanced security and does not rely on VBA Macros which can introduce known security risks.

Introducing the latest Forbury model, built for residential.

Q: How is the residential model different from Forbury's commercial or retail models?

The residential model is purpose-built for living sector assets. It models concessions, loss-to-lease, and vacancy as distinct line items, supports unit-level renovation planning with projected rent uplifts, and includes churn modelling across the full unit portfolio.

Q: I'm already using Forbury for commercial or retail assets. Do I need to learn a new platform?

No. The residential model sits within the same familiar Forbury environment - same scenario manager, same secure sharing, same branded reporting outputs. The setup sheet has been designed specifically for residential assets but the workflow is the same.

Q: How long does onboarding take?

The software 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.

Q: What makes it 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 . The software’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.

Purpose-built cashflow modelling for living sector assets - value-add scenario planning, and the same secure, collaborative workflow your stakeholders already trust.

Purpose-built for the living sector

Unit and type level modelling

Choose between granular unit-by-unit cashflows or an occupancy-rate-based forecast - matching the depth of analysis to the stage of the deal.

Churn and re-letting assumptions

Forecast tenant turnover across a portfolio of units with churn modelling that accounts for the short lease cycles and high-velocity income patterns unique to residential.

Levered cashflows and returns

Model debt facilities across acquisition and refinancing events, monitor covenant compliance, and forecast equity distributions and returns.

Residential income modelled correctly

Concessions, loss-to-lease, and vacancy as distinct line items - reflecting how residential income behaves rather than collapsing it to a single net figure.

Save yourself the time, hassle, and risk of manual data entry. Instantly populate your model with tenancy information by importing from PDF and Excel.

Value-add scenario analysis
