Flip Calculator FAQs
What is the 70% rule for property flipping?
The 70% rule is a quick formula: Maximum Purchase Price = (After Repair Value x 70%) - Refurbishment Costs. For a property worth 200,000 after refurb with 30,000 in works, max purchase = (200,000 x 0.7) - 30,000 = 110,000.
What profit should I aim for on a flip?
Most experienced flippers aim for minimum 20% ROI on total investment. For a 6-month project, this equates to 40% annualized return. Our calculator shows both standard and annualized ROI.
What costs do I need to include?
Include: purchase costs (stamp duty, legal, survey), refurbishment (materials, labour, 10-15% contingency), holding costs (mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, council tax), and selling costs (estate agent 1-2%, legal fees). Our calculator accounts for all these.
How long does a typical flip take?
Light refurbs take 2-4 months, medium refurbs 4-6 months, and heavy refurbs 6-12 months. Add time for purchase (2-3 months) and sale (2-4 months). Our calculator factors in holding costs based on your timeline.
