Description
Agents view - I really love this home and if I could I would be buying it myself. Not only is it set in a great location but the space has been adapted so well and is made for entertaining friends and family. As soon as you walk through the door the uninterrupted flooring runs your eye straight down the hallway into the kitchen and out to the awesome addition of the conservatory across the back of the home. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, fairly evenly sized again perfect for families not wanting arguments with the main bedroom having the en-suite. The main bathroom has been upgraded and the home has further benefits such as utility room, downstairs w.c and garage. The sellers have also made some changes in the garden, not only with some great plants you don't often get from a modern estate or home but they have added gates half way down the drive and created another courtyard/dining area, you can really imagine a BBQ here and we hope to be invited.
Area view - Shinfield Meadows is a lovely location, very central to all your needs and wants. Literally, just a few minutes walk you will find the popular Langley Mead nature reserve, which is great for walks and you also have various play parks close by with one being set at the end of Floyer Grove itself. Within a short walk or drive you have plenty of amenities including Dobbies Garden Centre which has a Sainsbury's Local, along with a great butchers and within Shinfield Village you have Co-Op a few popular pubs, a post office and the very popular Robyn's Nest cafè, which we love.There are main bus routes close by taking you into Reading or Wokingham towns and you are just a few minutes from Mereoak Park and Ride or junction 11 of the M4, making it a really well connected location. Not forgetting you will soon have closer train links with the Green Park station connecting your to Reading and Basingstoke in the near future.

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).
