Opportunity

Not scored as an opportunity

We will not put a number on this one.

listing is 'Sold subject to contract' - sale already progressing, not an actionable opportunity

Withholding a score is deliberate. A number built on missing or stale inputs would look more certain than the evidence allows.

Risks

What could kill this deal

Score confidence is low
largely a single source - treat the number as a prompt, not a conclusion

Property risk deep-dive →flood, subsidence, crime, environment - the full domain

Plan

Before you offer

1. 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.

Notification of proposed works to protected trees within Croston Conservation Area - The Lime Tree is situated in the grounds of No 35 Grape Lane close to the boundary wall with 31 Grape Lane. The branches overhang the drive of No. 31 and the pavement. They overhang the drive of 31, catching vehicles entering but also in strong winds hitting people entering the drive. The trees are leaning towards the light, and the lower branches need cutting off. It is probably 75 - 100 years old The Beech Tree is situated in the grounds of No. 35, and the branches overhang the drive of No.31. When it is windy they activate the sensor on the garage, which means that I have to switch it off in the dark. Again, a lower branch needs removing.
