Verdict

Derived from HomePortfolio scores

Magnolia earns an INVESTIGATE rating with HP Score 74/100. Investment score 62/100 reflects moderate fundamentals. Crime intensity is low. Walkability is good (84/100). Flood risk is not assessed: check the Environment Agency long-term flood map before offering. Tenure is leasehold. Every figure here comes from the live HomePortfolio API; anything it does not publish is left out.

Opportunity

Not scored as an opportunity

We will not put a number on this one.

listing is 'Sold subject to contract' - sale already progressing, not an actionable opportunity

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): 2.06 - 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

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.

5 Day Notice Removal of dead and heavily decayed pollard which has not regrown. Tree is a significant danger to the care home users, visitors and staff.

There are several Bay tree trunks that have become potentially dangerous in my opinion and they have moved at an angle and are now leaning against the stone wall bordering my garden and the pavement,and one is across my car port .I have cut the smaller branches to one of them which was overhanging the pavement,as it seemed worse than the rest, to reduce the weight and further wind damage and I have tied it back as shown in an attached photo.There are also photos of the base of a couple of the trees which show large gaps where the trunks has moved from.I have also included another photo of a dead trunk in the same vicinity which I also wish to remove.
