A decision, not just a search · Bonnyrigg

Does the lower estimated monthly cost make a property the better buy?

Only under the assumptions entered—and cost is not the whole decision. This model compares scenarios, not lender approval, building condition or personal suitability. Replace defaults with current quotes and documents, then test whether the cost remains manageable when circumstances change.

Questions that could change the answer

Which costs are current supplied figures, and which are model defaults?
What happens to your buffer if interest, repairs or vacancy costs rise?
What finance, contract or inspection condition remains unresolved before an offer?

Evidence to obtain—not yet verified here

Current lender terms and approval conditions, not only a borrowing estimate.
Dated levy notices, rates, insurance quotes and maintenance information.
Contract advice, inspection findings and comparable sales evidence.

Other options: Lower the price limit, compare another property or wait for critical checks. A favourable model result is not a recommendation to make an unconditional offer.

Next action: Re-run the existing calculator with documented inputs, then agree your conditions and walk-away point with the relevant professionals.

When to revisit: Revisit when any input, approval condition, price or property finding changes.

General decision guidance—not a property assessment, personal recommendation or verified client result. Dates on surrounding market content apply to that content, not to checks on your property.
