A little reading to begin with
A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONEBegin with the agreed or hypothetical purchase price and how it would be funded. Your contribution and borrowing can together fund that price; they are not automatically extra expenses added on top of it. State the relationship clearly before listing transaction charges. Otherwise a large total can count the same price twice.
For a fictional home price of 200,000 units, a contribution of 30,000 and borrowing of 170,000 sum to the price. Add separately identified transaction expenses of 4,000 and move-related costs of 2,000. Initial cash required in this stipulated scenario is 36,000 if those expenses are paid from cash, not 236,000. The home price remains 200,000; its funding and extra cash requirements answer different questions.
Check whether an amount labeled deposit is part of the price, security for another agreement or a separate charge. The label can mean different things in different arrangements. Ask the appropriate professional source how an actual amount is allocated. Do not infer refundability, ownership rights or transaction timing from a generic worksheet.
Keep confirmed funding separate from an indicative borrowing figure. A preliminary illustration, approval subject to conditions and funds available for settlement are different stages. This guide does not establish finance approval or authority to make commitments. The first useful output is a cost map whose components reconcile and whose funding status remains honest.
