Opportunity

Why this could be an opportunity

Low confidence1 independent sourceLead to verifyListing checked 6 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: the estimate sits 32% above the ask. It ranks after every home whose inputs are verified.

Economics

What happens to your money

Price sensitivity

£281,000£431,000

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.

Score at this price: 30

After a 8% void allowance, 15% management and 10% maintenance. Lender coverage (rent ÷ interest): 1.78 - 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

Plan

Before you offer

1. Get two written rental appraisals from local lettings agents.
The market estimate this rent rides on sits far above the asking price, so the rent may describe a different home.
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.

Notification of intention to fell T1 Pinus Sylvestris (Conifer), T2 Taxus Baccata (Yew), T3 Acer and T4 Picea Abies (Spruce) within Morton Conservation Area
Approved
2026/4659/TPO
Mature lime tree in front garden at 2 Holland Close:, DBH approx 50cm. Height approx 12m. , Observations: Tree appears in good physiological and structural condition. However, the applicant's home insurance provider requires that any tree within 5m from the house must be below 10m in height. This tree currently sits within 4 metres from the house walls. Estimated height of the tree is over 12m, meaning that remedial works will be required to reduce the tree's height to within the Home Insurer's requirements. , Recommended works: Reduce height to approx 9.5m (pruning back to appropriate growth points). Crown lift to clear epicormic growth around stem to height of 3 metres. Reduce lateral branches by approx 1 metre. Thin canopy by approx 10%. All green waste material to be cleared away and removed from site. All works to be carried out using BS3998:2010 guidance.
