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): 1.41 - 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 - Sycamore: Crown lift to provide approximately 5 metres clearance above ground level. T3 & T4 - Sycamore: Pollard to approximately 10-12 metres. The tree has not previously been pollarded. Works are proposed to establish and maintain the crown at a manageable height and reduce foreseeable risk from falling branches to members of the public using the garden areas. T5 - Ash: Severe Ash Dieback with significant crown decline and extensive dead and dying upper growth. Fell to ground level due to the deteriorating condition and foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T6 - Ash: Completely dead tree with extensive deadwood and a deteriorating structure. Fell to ground level due to the foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T7 - Sycamore: Mature Sycamore currently in reasonable physiological and structural condition, with no significant immediate safety defects identified. Fell to ground level to facilitate construction of the proposed new outbuilding and provide the necessary space for the building, access and working area. Retention of the tree would significantly constrain the proposed layout.
