Presets

Presets. Start from a deal you trust.

How it works

Refine one deal until the assumptions are yours - build rate, professional fees, finance, program and selling costs. Save it as a preset. On the next site, pick the preset and enter only the land price and the expected sales.

Why it's simpler

No re-keying the same assumptions on every site. Every first pass starts from your own numbers, so you compare sites like for like. Every assumption stays visible, and you can change any of them.

Example

You have refined a six-townhouse deal in Footscray and saved it as a preset. An agent sends you a similar site in Sunshine. Pick the preset, enter the asking price and the expected sale price per townhouse, and the first pass runs on your own build rate, fees and finance - in under a minute.

Coming at launch

Site Finder - coming at launch.

Who is Site Finder for?

  • Developers and acquisition teams who want new sites screened before they spend time on them.
  • Buyer's agents finding development sites for their clients.
  • Selling agents with developer buyers on their books.
  • Investors looking for their first or next development site.
  • Renovators looking for their next project.
  • Knockdown-rebuild buyers.
  • Builders looking for sites to build on.
  • Anyone looking to make some extra money from property.

How it works

Tell Site Finder what you or your buyer wants: the area, the budget, the number of dwellings and the target margin. Every morning it checks newly listed sites and emails you the ones that fit, each with a first-pass feasibility already run.

Why it's simpler

No more scrolling listings and running numbers on sites that never stack up. Open the email, see which sites pass, and send the report to your client or partner.

Example

A buyer's agent's client wants a townhouse site in Melbourne's west, under $1.5m, for four to six dwellings at a 20% margin. Each morning the agent gets the new listings that match, each with a first-pass feasibility and a report ready to forward.

Real-world situations

When an agent calls, a seller counters or a client sends you a site, enter what you know. DealIQ gives you a structured first pass you can test and refine.

With the selling agent

Enter the asking price, proposed dwellings, expected sales and build rate. See whether the site deserves a closer look before you respond.

Before you start

Development feasibility questions, answered.

Who is DealIQ for?

Developers and small acquisition teams assessing townhouse sites, with their own build, sales and funding assumptions.

How do I register for launch, and what happens afterwards?

Enter your email on this page to register for launch. We will email you when DealIQ launches; a subscription is required to continue.

What are DealIQ assumptions?

Clearly labelled starting values for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and WA, so you can run a first pass before quotes arrive. Each stays labelled until you replace it with your own figure.

Which states does DealIQ cover?

DealIQ provides starting assumptions for NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia. Other states and territories are not available in the current release.

What is not included in the current release?

Apartments and land subdivisions. These are planned for a later release.

Does DealIQ tell me whether planning approval will be granted?

No. Feasibility models financial assumptions. Planning, title, legal and site constraints need separate project-specific investigation.

Is the human review included in the subscription?

No. The optional DealIQ Review is a separate $395 including GST offer. Its scope is shown above.

What is residual land value, and how does DealIQ show the most I can pay?

Residual land value is the most you could pay for the site and still reach your target margin after construction, fees, statutory costs, holding costs, finance and profit. DealIQ calculates it from the same feasibility and shows it beside the land price you entered. In the Footscray worked example the supported land price is A$1,483,543 against A$1,400,000 entered.

Can I use DealIQ instead of a feasibility spreadsheet?

For a first pass, yes. DealIQ applies state-based statutory costs such as transfer duty and land tax for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and WA, labels every starting assumption, and lets you replace each one with your own figure as quotes and advice arrive. It does not replace your town planner, quantity surveyor, valuer, lawyer, accountant or lender.
