Mortgage calculators Rent to buy

What could my rent buy?

If your rent went on a mortgage instead, here’s the home it could pay for, and what you’d own at the end.

01Your rent

How often do you pay rent?

02The loan

This calculator gives an indication only, based on the information you enter. It isn’t an offer of finance or financial advice. Lenders apply their own criteria, rates change, and fees may apply. Talk to a Diamond Financials adviser for advice on your situation.

How we work it out

The fine print, in plain English

The loan
The amount your rent payments would repay in full over the term, at the rate you enter.
Home value
That loan plus the deposit you already have.
Equity
What you’d own: your deposit plus the principal repaid. We haven’t assumed any house price growth.
Not included
Rates, insurance and maintenance come on top of a mortgage, so budget for them.
Next step
Banks still need to approve the loan, so check it with the borrowing calculator or an adviser.
