How this is calculated

The estimate starts from the purchase price and adds each component you have enabled. Registration is calculated as 2% × sale value; mortgage registration as 0.25% × mortgage value, and only when a mortgage amount is entered.

Estimated cash required is the total acquisition cost less the mortgage amount, capped at the purchase price.
