Real Estate

7 tools

What you can afford, what the deposit really is, and whether the rent or the appreciation pays.

Whether you can afford a property, what the deposit really comes to once registration and stamp duty are included, and whether renting or buying wins over the period you intend to stay.

The rent-versus-buy answer turns almost entirely on how long you stay. Buying costs a great deal on the way in and again on the way out, and over a short horizon those transaction costs dominate every other number in the comparison.

How these tools work

Every one of these 7 tools runs entirely in your browser. There is no account to create, no file to upload and no daily limit, because the work happens on your own device rather than on a server — which also means there is nothing for us to log, cache or leak. Most of them keep working with the network off once the page has loaded.
