Cost-of-Ownership & Bond Agent
A finance chat that answers affordability, bond and running-cost questions in plain language.
Last updated 2026-07-21
Buying a home is a money decision as much as a property one. The Bond Agent is a finance chat that helps you understand the real cost of ownership — before you commit.
What you can ask
Ask it, in plain language, the questions that actually decide whether a home works for you:
- Affordability — what can I comfortably afford, and what would this property cost me a month?
- Bond — roughly what repayment, deposit, and term should I expect?
- Running costs — rates, levies, and the ongoing cost of owning this place, not just buying it.
It's a conversation, not a form — follow up, change the numbers, and get the picture in context.
How to use it
- Open the Bond Agent from a listing or the finance tools.
- Ask your question; refine with follow-ups.
- Use it alongside the property calculators when you want the exact figure behind an answer.
Good to know
- The chat gives guidance to inform your decision — it's a helpful first pass, not formal financial advice.
- For an actual bond, use the bond originator referral to get real quotes from a registered originator.
- Availability of the conversational chat depends on the AI service being enabled; the calculators always work for the hard numbers.
