Description
Location
Buying a house is all about the location and this home acquires an excellent spot. Perfect for enjoying the convenience and atmosphere associated with city living, the Hagley Road offers a direct route into the City Centre and lies just 0.5 miles from the property- ideal for commuters.

Amenities such as shopping, banks and cafés are conveniently located on Bearwood Road, just 0.5 miles from the property. Local eateries such as Miller & Carter and The Dog Pub are also close by.
Bearwood is home to the delightful grounds of Warley Woods and Golf Course, popular all year round with visitors and local residents. Additionally, Lightwoods Park is just at the end of the road, providing the ideal escape from the 'hustle and bustle' of every day life. Lightwoods House is situated within the park which has been lovingly restored to its 18th century glory and is now a high-quality venue for a wide range of community activities as well as public and private events. Lightwoods House is also home to the popular '1000 Trades' which is a popular tearoom, pub and kitchen. Building on their original location in the Jewellery Quarter, 1000 Trades on the Park aims to establish itself as part of the vibrant food and drink scene in Bearwood, as well as being firmly rooted in the community.
Bearwood is also home to locally well regarded schools such as Lightwoods Primary, St. Gregory's Primary and Abbey Infant and Junior Schools; making the location great for families. The area also provides access to local swimming baths and gym facilities.

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).
