Over the years, valuers, fund managers, lenders and derivatives traders have developed a number of statistical tools to help them understand and predict property performance. These range from forecast models to cash-flow simulation tools to portfolio optimisers and many others.

IPD can provide the property data to populate these models. At the most basic level, users can simply use the historic data provided in our standardised Digest products to power their in-house modelling tools. However, in most cases, we form a close consultative relationship with the user to ensure that they have the performance variables for the property types that they are interested in. 

Our “industry standard” tools provide you with a seamless solution to your modelling requirements. In these cases, we move beyond our role as data provider and share our experience of modelling the markets with you through a series of transparent, user-friendly desk-based solutions. The IPD Industry Toolkit includes:
 

Property Forecasting Models - forecast property returns across countries, regions and property types.

IPD Portfolio Optimiser - looks at the implications for asset allocation in the user’s portfolio 

IPD Cashflow Tool - unlocks the full potential of the portfolio simulator that powers the IPD Forecast Model

Impulse - written commentary and analysis on the latest market trends around the world
