Cost & Affordability

The price a builder quotes is rarely what a home costs. See the all-in number — stamp duty, GST, the builder's other charges, society costs and the true cost of your loan — then check it against your income and savings before you commit.

Home loan

Can you afford it?

Lenders cap all your EMIs at ~50% of net income. Your loan funds the flat — stamp duty, GST and charges come from savings.
