How Property Investors Value Your Home
Understanding how investors arrive at their offer price can help you evaluate whether a deal is right for you. Investors use a different methodology to residential buyers, focusing on end value, costs, and yield rather than emotional appeal.

Discuss my propertyThe investor valuation method
Investors typically start with the property's estimated value after any renovations (the gross development value or rental value), then deduct refurbishment costs, stamp duty, legal fees, finance costs, and their required profit margin. The result is their maximum offer price.
Factors that affect the offer
Location, property condition, local rental yields, comparable sales, planning potential, and the current market all influence the offer. Properties in high-demand rental areas or with strong capital growth potential typically attract better offers.
