Rent grows 2% a year (assumed); management is 10% of each year's rent. Mortgage held interest-only at 5.25% for 5 years. Refurbishment, voids and letting fees are not costed. Service charge and ground rent are not stated, so cashflow and returns are before lease costs. ROI is on cash required (£53,984).
