Start from a listing

Add the property links, paste any listing text you have, or upload the brochure. Public estate-agent and developer pages can be imported directly where allowed. Rightmove and Zoopla links are kept as references; uploaded brochures, screenshots and pasted text are the most reliable way to pre-fill assumptions.

Get an electrician quote and decide whether charging is included or separately charged.

Purchase and finance

Link mortgage to purchase price minus depositWhen this is on, increasing the deposit reduces the mortgage amount, annual finance cost and break-even revenue. Cash-on-cash return can still fall if the extra deposit outweighs the extra net cashflow.

Annual mortgage estimate: £10,063

Cash invested: £105,500

Mortgage divided by price

Monthly finance

Interest-only

Net after mortgage

£10,241

Base-case annual cashflow

Interest-only selected. The model deducts interest only, so the mortgage balance is not reduced. Confirm the lender allows holiday-let use and check refinance risk.

Changing the interest rate changes the mortgage cost and net cashflow. The mortgage balance itself only changes when purchase price, deposit or mortgage amount changes.

Current finance score: 79/100. The overall score also reflects location, restrictions, property fit and evidence gaps, so it may move less than the finance score.

Interest-only annual cost: £10,063

Repayment annual cost: £13,211

If rate is 1% lower: +£1,750 cashflow/year

If rate is 1% higher: -£1,750 cashflow/year

Repayment mode is £3,149 more per year than interest-only at the current rate and term.

Cleaning cost is higher than the cleaning fee charged to guests, so cleaning reduces annual profit.
