One-off costs
Alongside the price, list the costs applicable to your transaction. Request written calculations with dates and assumptions. An article's estimate cannot replace a calculation for a particular property and buyer.
Getting the home ready
Furniture, moving, minor works, appliances and connections may need their own budget. Separate pre-move essentials from things that can wait. For works, clarify scope, timing and the basis for possible price changes.
The annual picture
Bring together recurring payments, maintenance, insurance and a contingency allowance. Note the source and confidence level of each figure. This helps compare homes even when their asking prices are similar.
