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
- estimate implies a 97% discount - beyond plausibility (gate 50%); suspected unit/basis mismatch, not a realisable edge
Withholding a score is deliberate. A number built on missing or stale inputs would look more certain than the evidence allows.

After a 8% void allowance, 15% management and 10% maintenance. Lender coverage (rent ÷ interest): 30.22 - clears the usual 1.25 test. These are your assumptions, not evidence: only the pre-filled rent and price come from the record.

1. Commission a full structural survey, not a basic condition report.
The score prices market evidence, not the fabric of the building.
