Why this could be an opportunity

Low confidence0 independent sourcesLead to verifyListing checked 4 Nov 2026

This rests largely on a single source. Treat the score as a prompt to investigate, not a conclusion.

Check before relying on this score: leasehold with no service charge disclosed - the stress test assumes GBP 0. It ranks after every home whose inputs are verified.

Economics

What happens to your money

Price sensitivity

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): 1.48 - clears the usual 1.25 test. These are your assumptions, not evidence: only the pre-filled rent and price come from the record.

What could kill this deal

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. Ask the agent why the price was reduced and whether a previous sale fell through.
1 price cut(s) recorded on the listing history.
3. 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.
4. Commission a full structural survey, not a basic condition report.
The score prices market evidence, not the fabric of the building.

5 Day Notification: T1 Ash - Fell An inspection of the tree has identified extensive perennial fungal bracket formations around the lower stem and basal region. The fungal structures are provisionally considered consistent with a perennial white rot fungus, potentially Perenniporia fraxinea, although definitive identification has not yet been established.

T1 Oak tree pollard leaving at approximately 8m. Reasons: A picus test has been carried out. This Oak has substantial dead branches mainly in the upper crown South/Eastly side above the evident fungal brackets. This indicates root failure and an extensive decay below this area. There is further dieback throughout the crown and insect activity producing ?frass? up the main trunk. Taking these symptoms of decline into account and in view of this specimen?s location it is appropriate to recommend that the whole crown should be removed effectively turning the Oak into ?monolith? on the grounds of health and safety. (TPO 37, 1988 and 12, 2017)
