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

£206,000£316,000

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): 1.29 - clears 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. Treat the gap to the estimate as unproven - compare recent sold prices on the street yourself before pricing an offer around it.
On later completions, homes listed below their estimate sold at the same share of the asking price as the rest.
3. 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.

T1 & T2 - 2x Red Oak Trees (Quercus rubra) - Crown lift by removing secondary and sub-lateral branch growth only, to provide a vertical clearance of approximately 6.0 m between ground level and the lowest foliage tips, thereby achieving the desired clearance above the adjacent property & garden area All works shall retain the natural form of the crown and avoid the creation of large pruning wounds. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 60 mm in diameter. All cuts shall be made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work - Recommendations. The proposed works are considered necessary to provide appropriate clearance between the lower canopy of the two Red Oak trees and the adjacent property and garden area, while also improving natural light levels reaching the property and associated garden. The works are limited to a selective crown lift to approx 6.0m above ground level, achieved through the removal of secondary and sub-lateral branch growth only. No significant primary branches are proposed for removal and individual pruning wounds will not exceed approx 60mm in diameter.
