Auction budget worksheet

Write down your own auction ceiling and an optional buffer before bidding. See the arithmetic clearly and connect it to your wider purchase costs.

This worksheet subtracts a percentage buffer from a ceiling you choose. It does not assess affordability, suggest a bid or value the property.
