What Sets This Verdict

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

  • HP Score 76/100

    75 or more meets the BUY threshold, unless a flood or lease rule below caps it.

    Source: HomePortfolio HP Score

  • Flood risk not assessed

    A missing flood rating is not a clean one: it holds this verdict at INVESTIGATE instead of BUY.

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

  • Lease term not published

    Leasehold, but no remaining term is held, so the short-lease rule could not be checked.

    Not assessed

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