In this release;
1) Auto populating depreciations values
2) Multiple sales advices / buyers on the same property
3) Layout changes on the property detailed page
1) Auto populating depreciation values
Properties loaded will now have depreciation values automatically populated against them. These results are incorporated in your listing process and happen in real time. The values are provided by Washington Brown, a national depreciation service provider.
How it works
At project level: Once you press ‘update’ all the properties within the project will have their depreciation values updated.
At property (estate) level: Once you press ‘update’ this particular property only will have its depreciation values updated.
To ensure the depreciation values are correct; once you change any of any of these variables, Property type, Property price and Start date for a project or property and press ‘update’ the system will instantly update the values.
Supporting documents: a pop up window showing a graph and 10 year values will be accessible via the deprecation link.
Data table: will also show the actual values for building and fixtures.
Investment report: a depreciation page containing a graph and 10 year values will be included in the report.
Changes to listing rules: these fields, Price and Start date are now added to the existing mandatory fields.
Manual / previous method: Of course you will still be able to upload depreciations values and the supporting document manually if you prefer to do so.
2) Multiple sales advices / buyers on the same propertyStatus revisit: as you know a submitted sales advice against an ‘available’ property does NOT change the status. The property status changes to ‘tentatively under offer’ once the sales advice is submitted to the Listing agent. Whilst a property is ‘tentatively under offer’, additional sales advices can still be submitted by another subscriber to the Listing agent.
Keeping you in the loop: you will now be notified via email in the instances where another network subscriber has also submitted an offer on the same property, to the listing agent for their consideration.
Below are the possible email notification Subject headings, and within the body of the email you will receive this message;
“You have received this email notice because a network subscriber has submitted an offer on this property [PROJECT NAME, PROPERTY NUMBER], to the listing agent.
All offer(s) are being considered by the listing agent.
Possible Email Subject headings
You will notice the property details page has had some layout changes. These changes are under the ‘Investment Information’ heading, shown below.
Also the ‘alt’ text for the Levies; Council, Water and Strata Fee are now NO longer added to the page.
To our fellow Queenslanders; our thoughts are with you as you rebuild your homes and businesses, and re-claim the pristine state that you are.
