Pillar II · Structural Experience

Underwrite every decision before you make it.

Investment committees don’t approve hold-vs-sell from instinct. They run the same modelled framework on every property — IRR, cash-on-cash, rate-shock at +200bps, lease rollover at -10%. AssetCentral ships that framework as a one-click underwrite on each of your properties.

From €19/month. 7-day free trial on every tier, no card required.

What is property modelling?

Property modelling is the discipline of projecting the financial outcome of a property decision before you commit capital. For a single property it means running the underwriting an investment committee would run on every deal: IRR, cash-on-cash return, 10-year cash-flow forecast, rate-shock at +200bps, lease rollover at −10%, capital growth scenarios. For an existing asset it means re-running those projections every time the inputs change — a refinance window opens, a tenancy comes up for renewal, a stamp-duty rule changes — so the decision in front of you is always informed by the latest numbers. Most private owners run a partial version of modelling in their head, commit the capital, then discover the gap twelve months later when the variance lands in the bank account. AssetCentral ships the same standardised modelling framework that institutional desks use, scaled to private portfolios of 2–50 properties. Modelling is the third of five stages in the framework (Capture · Structure · Model · Monitor · Manage) and is led by your AI Chief Investment Officer.

The institutional desks aren’t smarter. They’re structured.

A fund’s investment committee runs the same modelled framework on every property — IRR, cash-on-cash, equity multiple, stress-tested at +100, +200, +300bps, lease rolled at -5%, -10%, -15%. Private investors run the same calculation in their head, commit the capital, and discover the gap twelve months later when the variance lands. AssetCentral gives you the framework, not the headcount.

Four ways in

Use what you have. Skip the data-entry chore.

Voice

Tell AC Voice the address, the rent, and the mortgage. It fills in the rest from market data.

Documents

Drop a tenancy contract, mortgage statement, or rent receipt. The agents extract what they need.

Spreadsheet

Upload an Excel or CSV — even a messy one. The import wizard maps columns and confirms before saving.

Manual

Type the address. Google autocomplete handles the geography. Add fields as you have them.

What the model captures

Eight columns of truth per property.

  • Rent (current + market benchmark)
  • Mortgage product, rate, term, LTV
  • Service charge, agent fees, voids, repairs
  • Yield (gross, net), IRR, cash-on-cash
  • Ownership structure (personal vs. corporate)
  • Market position vs. local comparables
  • Refinance windows and rate-reset risk
  • Currency exposure for cross-border owners

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • What is property modelling, in plain English?

    Running the numbers on a property decision the way a fund's investment committee would: IRR, cash-on-cash, 10-year cash-flow forecast, stress tests at +200bps and -10% rent. Not a back-of-envelope estimate, not a spreadsheet you'll lose track of — a documented, repeatable framework you can re-run any time the inputs change.

  • How is this different from a property calculator?

    Calculators give you one number on one assumption set. Modelling gives you the full surface — base / bull / bear scenarios, sensitivity to rate moves, sensitivity to rent moves, year-by-year cash-flow projection over 10 years, and the verdict that comes out of all of that combined. A calculator answers "what's the yield?". Modelling answers "should I do this deal?".

  • What scenarios does AssetCentral stress-test by default?

    Rate-shock at +100, +200 and +300 basis points (relevant for variable and fix-then-revert mortgages). Lease rollover at -5%, -10% and -15% (relevant for short-term-rental and end-of-fixed-term lets). Capital growth at the bull / base / bear levels for the relevant market. Each scenario re-projects the 10-year cash flow so you can see when the deal breaks.

  • Do I need to know all my inputs before modelling can start?

    No. Modelling runs on what you have and flags what's missing. If you don't know the service charge yet, the model uses a market-typical figure for the building type and country, and labels the assumption as a gap to fill. As you capture more data, the gaps close and the projection tightens. You don't have to wait for complete data to start.

  • Can the model handle sell-vs-hold and refinance scenarios?

    Yes — both are first-class. Sell-vs-hold compares the NPV of holding (cumulative net yield plus capital growth) against the NPV of selling now and putting the equity to work elsewhere at your chosen alternative return. Refinance compares the old loan against any new product structure including arrangement fees, term extensions and rate-type changes, and tells you the cumulative cash impact over the remaining mortgage term.
