Practical rental planning tools

Compare rental costs and viewing notes using your own figures, with clear assumptions and printable worksheets.

Use these tools to make a rental decision easier to compare. Both work without accounts, document uploads or paid services. Entered figures and notes stay in the current browser page; they are not sent to us or automatically saved.

Compare the full cost

The rental budget planner converts weekly and monthly rent to annualised equivalents, handles a whole-house quotation shared equally and adds your own bills and travel. It separates recurring costs from one-off spending and refundable cash held.

Have the quotation, its payment frequency, the number sharing and your own bill estimates ready. Read rental costs in Bath if you need help deciding what to include. The tool does not decide whether a payment is lawful or affordable for you.

Put viewing notes side by side

The viewing comparison sheet gives up to three homes the same questions: costs, included items, journey assumptions, observations, evidence and follow-up. It does not hide your priorities behind an invented score.

Use the viewing checklist before your appointment, and keep “not checked” separate from “no concern observed”. Notes are a starting point for further questions, not a survey or safety assessment.

Keep a copy yourself

Print a result or save it as a PDF with your browser. Reset removes the current entries; the site has no stored account copy to recover. Without JavaScript, use the method notes and blank printable tables on each page. See the privacy notice for the distinction between local tool entries and ordinary website requests.
