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): 1.07 - below 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

  • Valuation edge could not be scored

    estimate confidence LOW below scoring floor (measured MdAPE 25.8%)

  • Rental economics needs verification before you rely on it

    rent estimate 2250/mo (range 2050-2450)

Property risk deep-dive →flood, subsidence, crime, environment - the full domain

Plan

Before you offer

  1. 1. Get two written rental appraisals from local lettings agents.

    The rent estimate rests on area-level evidence, not lettings on this street.

  2. 2. Ask the agent why the price was reduced and whether a previous sale fell through.

    2 price cut(s) recorded on the listing history.

  3. 3. Fill the valuation edge gap before relying on the score.

    estimate confidence LOW below scoring floor (measured MdAPE 25.8%)

  4. 4. 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.
