Economics

What happens to your money

Price sensitivity

£270,000£414,000

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.

Score at this price: 18

After a 8% void allowance, 15% management and 10% maintenance. Lender coverage (rent ÷ interest): 1.36 - 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. 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.

Proposed crown lift by 3m and proposed shorterning of lateral branches by up to 3m of a 1 x Sessile Oak identified as T12 protected by tree preservation order T282. Reduce the crown height by up to 3 metres and shorten lateral branches by up to 3 metres where required to achieve a balanced, natural crown outline. Use selective branch shortening to suitable growth points, addressing the uneven crown and the branches extending towards and over No. 5 Cae Derw. The lateral reduction will vary around the crown according to its existing form and the location of suitable growth points, while remaining within the approved dimensions and the 3 metre maximum. Retain the main crown framework and sufficient healthy foliage to support the tree???s continued vitality and amenity value. All work will be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree work - Recommendations by a qualified and competent tree surgeon. The proposed treatment is a crown reduction; it does not include felling, pollarding, topping, root pruning or a separate crown lift.
