Modelled on the estimated value: the property is not on the market. Capital growth -0.24% a year is the LU1 area's 5-year historical rate (Land Registry medians), not a forecast. 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 (£46,320).
