Plain English summary: Bricks & Calcs provides free property and mortgage calculators for information purposes only. Our tools give you useful estimates — they are not financial advice, and you should always check figures with official sources or a qualified professional before making any property or mortgage decision.

We are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. No calculation produced by this site constitutes regulated financial, mortgage, or tax advice.

Section 01

About this site

Bricks & Calcs (bricksandcalcs.co.uk) is a free online resource providing property and mortgage calculators for users in the United Kingdom. The site is operated by an individual based in England. You can contact us at hello@bricksandcalcs.co.uk.

By accessing or using this site, you confirm that you have read and understood these Terms & Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

These terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Section 02

Calculators & Estimates

All calculators, tools, and outputs on this site are provided for general information and illustrative purposes only. They are designed to help you understand approximate figures — not to produce a precise or legally binding result.

Stamp Duty (SDLT, LBTT, LTT): Calculations are based on rates and thresholds published by HMRC, Revenue Scotland, and the Welsh Revenue Authority as at the date shown on each calculator. Tax rules and thresholds change. We make every reasonable effort to keep calculators up to date, but we cannot guarantee that every figure is current or applicable to your specific transaction at the time you use it.

Mortgage calculators: Repayment, affordability, overpayment, and remortgage figures are based on the inputs you provide and standard assumptions (fixed rate, capital repayment, no product fees). They do not account for your personal credit profile, lender-specific criteria, arrangement fees, early repayment charges, or rate changes over the mortgage term.

Property calculators: Rental yield, Rent vs Buy, LTV, and similar tools are estimates based on general assumptions and your inputs. They do not constitute investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, rent, or hold any property.

No output from any calculator on this site should be relied upon as the sole basis for a financial, property, tax, or mortgage decision without independent professional verification.

Section 03

Not financial advice

  • Tax advice from a qualified tax professional or HMRC
  • Legal advice from a solicitor or licensed conveyancer
  • Mortgage advice from an FCA-authorised mortgage adviser or broker
  • Investment advice from an FCA-authorised investment adviser
