Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached property sits on the edge of the popular market town, Melton Mowbray. Sitting off a quiet road on the North side of the town, the property boasts plentiful space both internally and externally with potential to extend further.
As you enter through the front door you are welcomed into a spacious, hallway. Straight ahead of you is the recently re fitted and remodelled kitchen diner with access leading out to the private garden beyond.
Running parallel to the kitchen is the bright and spacious dining room, this room has been previously extended to provide a large, open dining space, again with access out to the garden beyond.
To the front of the house is a characterful living room with a large bay window that allows the room to be flooded with light.
The stairs lead to the first floor from the hallway. Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms and a third single bedroom. All three bedrooms are serviced by a wet room/accessible shower.
Externally there is off road parking to the front of the property with a detached single garage to the rear of the property. The house boasts a spacious and private rear garden.

  • 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).
