Why this could be an opportunity

Low confidence1 independent sourceListing checked 3 Nov 2026

This rests largely on a single source. Treat the score as a prompt to investigate, not a conclusion.

Economics

What happens to your money

Price sensitivity

£244,000£374,000

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.

Score at this price: 17

After a 8% void allowance, 15% management and 10% maintenance. Lender coverage (rent ÷ interest): 1.28 - 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

Rental economics needs verification before you rely on it
rent estimate 1400/mo (range 1300-1550)
Seller motivation could not be scored

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. 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.
3. 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.

Certificate of Proposed Lawful Development for conversion of the existing integral garage to an additional habitable room ancillary to the existing single dwellinghouse. The existing roller-shutter garage-door opening and external uPVC side-door opening will be infilled with insulated cavity brickwork, finished in facing bricks to match the existing dwellinghouse. No enlargement of the building is proposed. Internally, the existing concrete floor will be levelled and upgraded with a damp-proof membrane, 100 mm PIR insulation, tongue-and-groove boarding and final floor finish. The garage will remain part of, and be accessed and used in association with, the existing single dwellinghouse; it will not form a separate dwelling or self-contained unit.
