Your first deal

From sign-up to a workbook you can open in Excel. Start from a building you hold, or from a deal you are pricing.

Start from an asset

You have a building and its tenancy schedule. Begin in asset management at am.brookly.app.

  1. Sign up

    Open am.brookly.app, enter your work email and type the code we send you. Name your organisation and choose Create organisation. It comes with both apps, set up for the United Kingdom in pounds.

  2. Add the asset

    Choose Add asset and type its postcode or address. Pick the match, or type the address yourself if there is none. Set the asset class and choose Add asset again.

  3. Import the tenancy schedule

    Open Leases and choose Import a tenancy schedule. Upload the schedule as your agent sent it, in Excel or CSV. Confirm which column is which, fix any row marked To fix, check the rent against the file’s own total, then import. With no schedule to hand, choose Add the first lease and type one in.

  4. Model it

    In the asset’s header choose Model this asset. The model takes the leases from the records and asks for the rest: what you are paying, what buying it costs, whether you will borrow, and how you get out. Costs start from England’s conventions. Check it over and choose Create model.

  5. Read the return

    Levered IRR, unlevered IRR, equity multiple, peak equity and exit value run across the top. Change an assumption and they follow. Save lists what you changed and keeps it as a version.

  6. Export

    Choose Export on the bar. The workbook is the saved version: a summary, the assumptions, the cashflow, the debt and the rent roll, with the figures you saw on screen. The scenario’s menu also holds the IC summary, the same deal on one page to print or share.

Start from a deal

You have a price and a few figures, and no records yet. Begin in the model at model.brookly.app.

  1. Sign up

    Open model.brookly.app and sign up the same way. One organisation holds both apps, so if you already signed up in asset management, sign in here with the same email.

  2. Walk the deal in

    Choose Guided setup. It asks for the asset, the timing, the price, the income, the costs, the debt and the exit, one step at a time, with the return beside it as you go. On the income step choose Add a lease and give the tenant, the area and the rent a year. Choose Create asset.

  3. Read the return and export

    As above: the figures run across the top, Save keeps a version, and Export gives you the workbook.
