Honest tools for people making the decisions the system doesn’t help with.
CommonsHouse exists because the big financial decisions, like buying a home, changing jobs, or saving for later, are too important to make on numbers that are hidden, simplified, or shaped to sell you something. People deserve to see the real picture. That’s the whole point of this site.
Who’s behind it
CommonsHouse was built by someone who spent years working inside the UK housing and finance world, and grew tired of watching people make life-changing decisions without the information they deserved. The professional background is real, and if you’d like to know more about it, just get in touch.
There’s deliberately no big personality attached to this. Not because there’s anything to hide, but because the tools are the point, not the person. The numbers should stand on their own.
How it works
Every tool is built to be honest first. It shows you the real figures for your situation, including the inconvenient parts and the catches other calculators leave out, and it never tells you what to do. Buying or renting, saving or spending, the steady job or the leap: those are your decisions. The tools just make sure you’re making them with your eyes open.
CommonsHouse is free to use. No ads, no products being sold to you, no pressure. Just the numbers.
