What you can borrow against local incomes
What the first year actually costs
Band D council tax in Surrey is £2,493 a year, which is £208 a month. Add energy, water, insurance and maintenance.
Protection belongs in the same budget. If the mortgage depends on two incomes, it depends on both people staying well enough to earn. That is the part of the purchase we advise on directly.
Average prices sit below the £500,000 relief ceiling, so most first purchases here still qualify. Check your own price against the threshold.
