4 of 4 components scored. Ranks on gross yield, the stress margin, risk and disclosed facts. A pricing claim earns only its measured edge: today 0 for the market estimate and at most +0.5pp for sold evidence. The score itself is not yet checked against the outcomes of homes it scored.

Economics

What happens to your money

Price sensitivity

£120,000£184,000

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.

After a 8% void allowance, 15% management and 10% maintenance. Lender coverage (rent ÷ interest): 1.67 - clears the usual 1.25 test. These are your assumptions, not evidence: only the pre-filled rent and price come from the record.

Plan

Before you offer

1. Get two written rental appraisals from local lettings agents.
The rent estimate rests on area-level evidence, not lettings on this street.
2. Ask the agent why the price was reduced and whether a previous sale fell through.
1 price cut(s) recorded on the listing history.
3. 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.
4. Commission a full structural survey, not a basic condition report.
The score prices market evidence, not the fabric of the building.

T1 - Sycamore - Crown Lift over Garage: Crown lift the lower canopy to achieve a 3-metre vertical clearance above the garage roof. Lateral Reduction (Infrastructure Clearance): Prune back lateral branches to clear the adjacent street lamppost, ensuring a 1-metre clearance to prevent obstruction and damage to public lighting. Utility Clearance: Selectively prune branches interacting with, or in close proximity to, the overhead BT and fibre utility lines to eliminate the risk of line abrasion and service disruption. Crown Clean: Crown clean the entire canopy to remove dead, dying, or diseased wood to improve the tree's health and structural safety.
