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

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): 0.93 - below 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.

26/1555/TPO
Silver birch I believe an Arborist has been to provide quotation to remove tree. Tree needs to be felled/removed. I suggest a site visit is made to see the issues. I don't know if any TPO exists but I would not think so it was planted by previous proprerty owner Reasons: It is firstly far too big now for the small gardens we have. The trunk of the tree is now leaning against my fence. The canopy blocks out my light in the garden and canopy is approx 12 feet into my garden. The roots have also started undermining my decking adjacent to the brick garden wall again this is a joint boundary wall with us and No1 Caroline Avenue. The tree also is in very close proximity to afoul sewer run serving properties 26,28 and 30 Batavia Drive and this is potentially will cause blockages in the future if tree is not removed. During the recent storm the trunk of the tree was moving the fence.
