What Sets This Verdict

The rules the band is set from, each with the value it read.

  • HP Score 64/100

    Between 40 and 74 sets INVESTIGATE; BUY needs 75 or more.

    Source: HomePortfolio HP Score

  • Flood risk not assessed

    A missing flood rating is not a clean one: the verdict cannot reach BUY until it is assessed.

    Source: Environment Agency flood risk (none held for this property)

  • Lease term not published

    Leasehold, but no remaining term is held, so the short-lease rule could not be checked.
