Description

An excellent opportunity to live in an eco-friendly one bedroom apartment, with modern industrial features, is now available. Zero ground rent is payable and extremely low service charges apply. The perfect abode for the carbon footprint conscious buyer.

Key features:
- close to the city- great for first time buyers - close-to-local-amenities - a community garden - sought-after location - special air filtration system - the walls also have a special membrane that keeps the inside temperature at bay.

Some great things to expect are; excellent airtightness quality, which retains the heat you generate, keeping emissions low. No gas is used and the building - only electricity supplied from renewable sources. MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery) Systems are used that provide fresh filtered air yet maintain heat. Triple glazed windows not only help in insulating this home, but also in creating peace and quiet on the inside. Community and inclusion is promoted in the design ethos with green spaces and by supporting local businesses and community events. The Community Interest Company gives our residents the power to contribute to decision making.

Target investor price (1%) £84,500
Gross yield 6%
Cost-to-rent ratio 16.8×
Monthly cashflow £66/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term

  • 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).
