## Description

Offered with no onward chain, this spacious two-bedroom end-of-terrace home is located in the heart of Cheriton High Street. The property presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers or investors looking to take on a project, as it is in need of modernisation throughout, yet full of potential.

At street level, the property features a driveway with off-road parking for one vehicle, leading to a garage.

The home benefits from convenient location, just a short walk from Folkestone West train station, which offers high-speed services to London, making it an ideal location for commuters. In addition, there is easy access to the M20 motorway.

This property is a rare find for those looking to add value in a sought-after area.

This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances.

Location Summary

Awarded Best Place to Live in The South East by The Times 2024; This coastal town is the very model of modern regeneration for shipshape and stylish living. Folkestone has seen much regeneration over the past few years, with much more planned going forward, especially surrounding the town centre and Harbour. Folkestone has a large array of shops, boutiques and restaurants as well as many hotels and tourist attractions. Folkestone is fortunate to have two High Speed Rail links to London, both offering a London commute in under an hour. There are great transport links to surrounding towns and cities and easy access to the continent too. With so much going on and with the future bright, Folkestone is an excellent location to both live and invest in.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.52% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £150,000
- **Target investor price (1%):** £120,000

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

## Rent-driven metrics

*Based on OpenRent comparables (median £1,200/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 6.3%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 16×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £149/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 2.7%

*Gross yield = annual rent as % of price (no costs). Cost-to-rent = price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables); under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed. Cashflow = rent − 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).*
