See the downside before you buy

BuildPocket Renovation & Flip Mode tests whether a property still works after refurbishment, finance, holding costs, professional fees, contingency and selling costs are included.

The core question

Can you buy at this price, complete the necessary work, survive realistic overruns and still achieve the return you need?

Acquisition

Purchase price, deposit, transaction taxes, legal work, surveys, valuation, lender or auction fees, insurance and initial clearance.

Refurbishment

Start with a cosmetic, standard or heavy scope, then replace broad allowances with room-by-room and system-by-system project estimates as information improves.

Holding and exit

Model finance interest, council tax, utilities, insurance and other monthly costs alongside agent, legal, staging and finance-exit costs.

Outputs that matter

• Total cash required
• Refurbishment range and contingency
• Total project cost
• Profit, profit on cost and return on cash
• Break-even sale price
• Maximum purchase price at a target return
• Combined downside scenario

No fake certainty

Property condition, programme and resale value are uncertain. BuildPocket shows assumptions and sensitivities instead of hiding them behind an unexplained deal score.

This is a budgeting and scenario-planning tool, not a survey, valuation, legal opinion, financial recommendation or guarantee of profit.
