These figures are a guide only and as such should not be relied upon when calculating exact expenditure. As a general rule of thumb it is important to ensure that you have 10% more funds than the price of the property you wish to purchase.

A lot of the properties do not come furnished and we can assist with furniture package purchase - this may also need to be factored into your budget.
