How to use MoveBrief

What MoveBrief does

MoveBrief asks for a few practical signals: your monthly net income, the full housing cost, the upfront cash, commute time, and your honest impression of daylight, noise, condition proof, flexibility, and real-life fit.

From that, it gives you:

• a yes / maybe / no style status summary
• a plain-language money-pressure check
• the strongest positives and the riskiest weak spots
• a follow-up question list
• a copy-ready note you can send to the owner, agent, or landlord

Before you start

• your monthly take-home income
• the rent or estimated payment
• service charges, building fees, or utilities you already know about
• the upfront cash needed before keys
• a realistic commute estimate and your honest impression of the place

How to read the result

Decision snapshot

This is the fast answer: shortlist it, ask first, or walk away unless something major changes.

Money reality

MoveBrief looks at the all-in monthly load, not the headline price alone. A place with okay rent but brutal extras should feel worse in the result.

Questions to settle before yes

Use these as the minimum clarification list before you emotionally upgrade the listing in your head.

Second-look checklist

This reminds you to verify the place with your senses, not just the sales pitch.

What MoveBrief cannot do

• replace a surveyor, inspection, or engineer
• read a lease or purchase contract for legal traps
• know hidden building problems you were not shown
• decide what matters most in your life better than you can
