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.

(T1) - Purple plum - crown reduce to 2 feed below previous cuts, to prevent tear outs. (T2) - Horse chestnut - crown reduce to previous cuts, required due to lapsed pollard, which has left tight unions and potential for tear outs. There is also evidence of bleeding within unions. The crown reduction will reduce weight within the branches, minimising tear outs.
