4 of 4 components scored. Ranks on gross yield, the stress margin, risk and disclosed facts. A pricing claim earns only its measured edge: today 0 for the market estimate and at most +0.5pp for sold evidence. The score itself is not yet checked against the outcomes of homes it scored.

Economics

What happens to your money

Price sensitivity

£116,000£178,000

The same scorer re-run at hypothetical asking prices, holding rent, comps and listing history constant. Not a prediction of what the seller would accept.

After a 8% void allowance, 15% management and 10% maintenance. Lender coverage (rent ÷ interest): 1.24 - below the usual 1.25 test. These are your assumptions, not evidence: only the pre-filled rent and price come from the record.

Plan

Before you offer

1. Get two written rental appraisals from local lettings agents.
The rent estimate rests on area-level evidence, not lettings on this street.
2. Commission a full structural survey, not a basic condition report.
The score prices market evidence, not the fabric of the building.

Every step above was generated from a specific gap or flag in the evidence - no generic advice, no invented tasks.

There are several Bay tree trunks that have become potentially dangerous in my opinion and they have moved at an angle and are now leaning against the stone wall bordering my garden and the pavement,and one is across my car port .I have cut the smaller branches to one of them which was overhanging the pavement,as it seemed worse than the rest, to reduce the weight and further wind damage and I have tied it back as shown in an attached photo.There are also photos of the base of a couple of the trees which show large gaps where the trunks has moved from.I have also included another photo of a dead trunk in the same vicinity which I also wish to remove.
