To conduct a property development feasibility, you need to consider what makes good financial feasibility, what makes a lousy feasibility, when you should use a property development feasibility and common mistakes. My preferred spreadsheet is Google Sheets (because I can use this on the road), but I still have a love for Excel - it is my first spreadsheet love.

A property development template should start off by including a summary of the costs, the expected profit margin, the ability to iterate through a range of property development options, an identical structure to follow each time in the template and it needs to have reliable inputs.

I start off with identifying the key information such as the address of the property, zoning and links to all the relevant information. I have common questions which I ask the real estate agents. Then I work out my end sales value of the property development project. This is followed by a summary of the property development costs (commonly known as the financials).

When creating my property development feasibility, I try to minimise mistakes with the use of commas, work on a rate $/sqm in my financials, make sure all taxes are included, I don't get into the lending and avoid IRR calculations (early in the feasibility).

Finally, best of luck in conducting your next property development financial feasibility study.
