Explain why AI affordability estimates need a human reality check
A property expert can explain why an AI affordability figure is only a starting point, since buyers’ deposits, borrowing terms and other costs change what they can actually afford.
Expert comment angle: Offer this view to consumer finance and property reporters, with a clear distinction between an estimate and a buyer’s personal mortgage advice.
Why: The new connector puts affordability checks inside an AI assistant, making the limits of a headline figure relevant to anyone searching for a home.
