Tools · True Cost Calculator
Map your exact upfront capital and first-year carrying costs — every fee, deposit and monthly obligation — before you commit to a property. Adjust anything; the numbers move with you.
The sticker price is the smallest number you’ll pay.
One-time setup plus twelve months of living. A planning range, not a quote.
One-time, before you’ve unpacked
Every month, once you’re here
Switch “Home” to Buy and the setup swaps rent deposits for acquisition costs — DLD 4%, agency, trustee & mortgage fees, plus your down-payment; rent becomes service charges and maintenance.
This is a map, not a contract. Costs fluctuate and life happens — these ranges are realistic current averages, deliberately not lowballed, to help you land with open eyes.
No email required — the breakdown is yours to keep.
Why you can plan on this
DLD 4%, agency, trustee and mortgage fees, the deposit and your down-payment — the acquisition costs a listing quietly leaves off the sticker.
Realistic current averages for setup and monthly running costs, so you plan against the real number — not the optimistic one used to close you.
Toggle the housing, area, schooling, transport and help — and watch the year-one figure move with the life you'll actually live here.
An indicative planning aid on cost — not a quote, valuation or financial advice. Costs fluctuate; these are realistic current averages, deliberately not lowballed. Your exact figure is built with you on a strategy call.
