- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £243,750
- **Target investor price (1%):** £195,000

## Rent-driven metrics

- **This street:** 4.8% gross yield (avg £248,125 sale, £995/mo rent)
*Based on OpenRent comparables (median £1,950/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 6.1%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 16.5×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £214/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 2.3%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − mortgage − 10% maintenance − £25/mo compliance; assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term. ROI = annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).*
