What Sets This Verdict

The rules the band is set from, each with the value it read.

  • HP Score 66/100

    Between 40 and 74 sets INVESTIGATE; BUY needs 75 or more.

    Source: HomePortfolio HP Score

  • Flood risk not assessed

    A missing flood rating is not a clean one: the verdict cannot reach BUY until it is assessed.

    Source: Environment Agency flood risk (none held for this property)

  • Freehold

    Not held on a lease, so the short-lease rule does not apply.

    Source: Tenure on the property record

Watch Before Offering

From the verdict's checks on flood, lease, crime and investment score. Not a full risk review.

  • Flood risk not assessed

    Not assessed

    Check the Environment Agency long-term flood map before offering.
