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): 1.50 - 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.

Oak tree in back garden of the property standing close to the house requires following works, as it is largely overgrown and the branches are touching the roof of the house- - Branches need to be pruned back as they are close to the house and overhanging the road/ drive - Reduce overall size of crown by 2.5m - Remove deadwood greater than 25mm in diameter A reduction would leave an approximate height of 9.5 metres and spread of 5.5 metres. This is not a major work, just tidying up required.
