Opportunity

Why this could be an opportunity

Low confidence0 independent sourcesLead to verifyListing checked 13 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

£131,000£201,000

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.

Your assumptions

Purchase price£175,000

At the asking price

Monthly rent£950/mo

Evidenced range £850-£1,000

Interest rate5.4%

Cash required: £54,800
Net cash flow: £67/mo
Cash on cash: 1.5%
Score at this price: 25

After a 8% void allowance, 15% management and 10% maintenance. Lender coverage (rent ÷ interest): 1.61 - clears the usual 1.25 test. These are your assumptions, not evidence: only the pre-filled rent and price come from the record.

Risks

What could kill this deal

Score confidence is low
largely a single source - treat the number as a prompt, not a conclusion
Rental economics needs verification before you rely on it
rent estimate 950/mo (range 850-1000)
Stress margin needs verification before you rely on it
costs not disclosed by the advert

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 Himalayan Birch - Front of building. Out of scale with situation. Reduce by 1.5m all round to bring the tree back into scale with situation. T2 Magnolia - Front of building. Out of scale with surroundings. Reduce by 1-1.5m all round bringing the tree back into scale with surroundings. T4 Himalayan Birch - At the end of the parking area. Low canopy. Raise the canopy to 3.5m. T5 Cherry - Out of scale with situation. Re-reduce back to previous, removing approximately 1-1.5m of regeneration growth. Remove ivy. T6 Walnut - Immediately adjacent to the boundary wall, some cracking is evident. The tree is beginning to reach a size where the wall is being disrupted. Reduce the tree by 3-4m from the top and approximately 1m from the side to create a structure for regeneration. T7 Walnut - Suppressed form, twin stem, canopy is close to the adjacent wall. Low limb resting on wall. Remove the low resting limb. T8 Magnolia - Out of scale with surroundings. Reduce the tree by 1m all round to bring the tree back into scale. T9 Poplar - Hollow acoustics when struck. Tree has been historically monolithed. Reduce the tree by approximately 50% to bring the overall height of the main stems down to 3.5-4m, leaving the low growth on the tree. And removing the complete top section to give the tree a chance to regenerate.
