  • Property Type: Detached properties have shown strong growth, whilst flats have experienced more modest increases.
  • Market Timing: Property cycles can span several years, making timing considerations important for investors.
  • Additional Costs: Remember to factor in stamp duty, legal fees, maintenance, and potential rental voids when calculating returns.

This calculator provides helpful estimates, but major financial decisions should always involve professional advice from qualified mortgage advisers, surveyors, or financial planners who can assess your specific circumstances.
