| [Sidway, Market Drayton](http://87.117.209.195:8080/listings/e7cdbfd) | £2,500/mo | 5 | 1.96 miles | Rightmove |

**Average rent: £2,500/mo (1 listing)**

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.91% (okay)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £312,500
- **Target investor price (1%):** £250,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

## Rent-driven metrics

*Based on OpenRent comparables (median £2,500/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 10.9%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 9.2×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £1,142/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 17.2%

*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).*
