EP 140: How To Understand Profit In Property Development

Listen and Subscribe: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube

Return on cost (ROC) is a crucial metric in property development that measures the profit of a project as a percentage of the total cost. It is essential for both investors and developers to understand and calculate ROC accurately to assess the financial viability of a property development venture. The importance of annualising return on investment (ROI) is a key factor that is often overlooked or misunderstood by stakeholders in the industry.

Annualising ROI is crucial for accurately evaluating the profit of a project over a specific time period, typically one year. This is important because it allows investors and developers to compare the return on their investment to other investment opportunities or benchmarks, such as the interest rate offered by banks. By annualising ROI, stakeholders can make more informed decisions about the potential returns and risks associated with a project.

In this week’s episode Hilary and Bob discuss how to understand profit in property development. They share insightful tips and insights on the topic, including a reminder not to judge a person by their car!
