Description
Lynbrook Close is a pleasant cul de sac made up of modern Bryant's built houses built alongside a small stream at the entrance which is a tributary to the River Cole.
There is the benefit of local shops at nearby Drakes Cross Parade and Hollywood Lane, and easy road access to the Alcester Road in Hollywood which in turn provides access to the M42 motorway forming the hub of the midlands motorway network..
The property is within easy access to Shirley, via Truemans Heath Lane, with its comprehensive shopping facilities and Maypole via the Alcester Road.
The nearby village of Wythall has its own railway station offering commuter services between Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon, and local bus services provide access to the City of Birmingham.
Set back from the road via a block edged tarmacadam driveway, a UPVC double glazed front door opens into the porch with further door into the lounge with stairs to the first floor accommodation and open access into the dining room, with bilfold doors to the beautiful orangery, the fitted kitchen diner has a door to the rear garden, garage and ground floor WC. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The rear garden has a paved patio leading to lawn with flower and shrub borders, fencing to boundaries and timber shed.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus 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).
