Manchester Airport is also within easy reach, and local bus routes are right on hand.A rare opportunity with space, potential, and an unbeatable position. Call us now to book your viewing.

Max investor price (0.8%) £175,000
Target investor price (1%) £140,000
Gross yield 4.5%
Cost-to-rent ratio 22.3×
Monthly cashflow £-242/mo 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term
Cash-on-cash ROI -2.7%
  • 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).
