If you’re getting into property investing, you’ve probably seen a flood of acronyms: ROI, GDV, GDC, Yield...
But what do these numbers really mean? And how can you use them to make smart, fast investment decisions?
At Property-Assistant.ai, our AI assistant runs these calculations instantly but understanding what they measure (and why they matter) is key to becoming a confident investor.
Let’s break it down.
What it is: The percentage of profit you’ll make based on your initial capital invested.
Why it matters: It tells you how hard your money is working.
Example: If you invest £40,000 and make £20,000 profit, your ROI is 50%.
How our AI helps: We calculate ROI instantly based on your purchase price, refurb costs, fees, and projected resale or refinance value.
What it is: The expected market value of the property after renovation or conversion.
Why it matters: It’s what your project will be worth when completed and crucial for calculating profits, finance options, and risk.
Example: Buy at £200,000, refurb for £50,000, expect to sell for £300,000. GDV = £300,000.
How our AI helps: We pull comparables and estimate GDV for every property so you know what the upside looks like before you commit.
What it is: The full cost of completing the project, including purchase price, refurb, legal fees, stamp duty, and finance costs.
Why it matters: It tells you how much you need to invest or borrow to bring the project to life.
Example: GDC might include: £200K purchase + £50K refurb + £15K fees = £265K total.
How our AI helps: We combine cost estimates, stamp duty calculations, and finance scenarios to show your total investment.
What it is: The annual rental return as a % of the purchase price or market value.
Why it matters: Great for comparing passive income potential across different properties.
Example: If you earn £10,000/year in rent on a £200,000 property, your yield is 5%.
How our AI helps: We calculate gross and net yields using live rental data, so you can instantly see if a BTL deal stacks up.
