Evidence organiser, not a valuation

Prepare an offer with a clear ceiling.

Keep asking price, comparable evidence, known work and your own budget in one printable plan.

Offer-preparation checklist

Confirm your funding, Agreement in Principle and cash deposit.
Record addresses, completion dates and differences for each comparable.
Separate visible works from survey findings and obtain quotations where practical.
Check tenure, lease length, service charges, restrictions and chain position.
Decide the ceiling before negotiating and keep contingency outside it.
State any helpful position accurately; do not waive legal or survey checks casually.

What the working range means

The tool subtracts the entered repairs and contingency from both the comparable range and your total budget. It then caps the result at your budget ceiling. It does not adjust evidence for property differences.

Worked example

With comparable evidence of £310,000–£325,000, £15,000 of known work and 15% contingency, the planner reserves £17,250 before presenting possible stages. A survey or new evidence should prompt you to revise the inputs.
