Your strategic advantage – the ROI calculator
A strategic tool used by investors across the globe, an ROI calculator works out your potential Return on Investment.
ROI (Return on Investment) is a commonly used metric to evaluate affordability, and identify the likely returns on potential investments. When exploring UK property investment, ROI is always one of the first considerations, as it presents a vital foundation on which to base your budget and identify your personal affordability.
Our free ROI calculator, means global investors can access UK property investment returns instantly, giving them a key advantage when investing in UK property.
Why should you use the ROI calculator?
Before investing in UK property, you need to understand your potential monthly returns, and identify a figure that will help you to meet your investment goals. The ROI calculator presents a full financial picture, in addition to offering several other benefits:
- Test financial scenarios: With the property investment calculator, you can test various figures, for example you can see how your returns will change when you increase your deposit, or input a lower mortgage rate. .
- Yield forecasting: Transform your predicted yield % into a monthly figure
- Mortgage considerations: Enter your mortgage rate (if you are purchasing with a mortgage) and we’ll take this into account to calculate your returns
Can I use the ROI calculator as an overseas investor?
Yes, global investors can use the investment calculator easily. For overseas investors, you just need to ensure you convert your currency, from your national currency into GBP (Great British Pounds), which is what the Select Property ROI calculator uses for your ROI results.
Global investors can invest in UK property easily, can benefit from the exchange rate, and can also purchase UK property using a mortgage. At Select Property, across our international offices in Manchester, Dubai, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia, we work with global property investors regularly, building strong relationships. .
How to use the ROI calculator
- If you’re an overseas investor, first convert your figures into GBP currency. If you’re a domestic investor, just input the figures straight-away, as the calculator is set to GBP.
- The first step is to input the property purchase price you are interested in buying. Prices differ in UK developments based on the size of the apartment, so if you are exploring various price points, you can test these one at a time with the investment calculator. Input the expected property price into the ‘Purchase Price (£)’ section.
- Next, enter the expected property yield percentage, which is the forecast figure. You can find this information in your Investment Guide, communications from your property consultant or on the investment websites, such as Edition Birmingham and Vita Living Circle Square.
- For investors buying UK property with a mortgage, add in your expected mortgage interest rate as a percentage. If you are using all capital to purchase your UK property investment, add the number 0 into the ‘Mortgage Interest Rate %’ section.
- The last field is for your down-payment, also known as a deposit. UK property can often be secured with a down-payment as small as 10%. Add your deposit percentage into this field, then hit the ‘Calculate ROI’ button.
