Flat 43 earns an INVESTIGATE rating with HP Score 71/100. Investment score 67/100 reflects moderate fundamentals. Crime intensity is low. Walkability is limited (38/100). 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.

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.

Willow tree - - The small snapped limb is approximately 5m long with a diameter of about 120-150mm, its removal will have minimal impact on the summer foliage in that part of the tree. - The first main limb, which is completely cracked at the base where it has grown from the main trunk, is estimated to be 8-10m long with a diameter of 450-500mm (at its base). It probably weights about 4 tons and is currently resting on another limb of the same size, placing that lower limb at serious risk of snapping. - The second main limb, currently still attached but has dropped due to the weight of the leaves, is also estimated to be 8-10m long with a diameter of 450-500mm and will have a similar weight. This limb needs to be removed due to that risk, but also because it has dropped to a height where it is not possible for an adult to walk underneath it without bending down.
