- **This street:** 4.4% gross yield (avg £411,714 sale, £1,500/mo rent)
*Based on OpenRent comparables (median £1,100/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 3.1%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 32.2×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £-709/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)

*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).*
