Opportunity
Not scored as an opportunity
We will not put a number on this one.
- listing address is a marketing pitch, not a property address ('Bmv Manchester Investment, Manchester M4') - identity unverifiable, valuation evidence describes the pinned UPRN, not the product being sold
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): 1.68 - 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
Score confidence is low
largely a single source - treat the number as a prompt, not a conclusion
Property risk deep-dive →flood, subsidence, crime, environment - the full domain
Plan
Before you offer
1. 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.
