Description
About the Home
The Harper is a stylish 3-bedroom semi-detached home, cleverly designed to make superb use of its interior space and incorporate many sought-after features for modern homes. First-time buyers, couples and young families, as well as downsizers, will all find appeal in The Harper.
Its front-facing living room is cosy and inviting, and is ideal for movie nights, hosting guests, or creating a play space for little ones. Down the hallway and at the rear of the home, the light-filled, open-plan kitchen and dining area has a desirable L-shaped layout with ample room for a dining table to seat the whole family. French doors in the dining area open onto the rear garden, perfect for summer barbecues and making the most of your outdoor space, all year round.
Accessible from the entrance hallway are the cloakroom, and an understairs cupboard, useful for tidying away coats and bulky home appliances, or even storing a pram or pushchair.
On the first floor, bedroom 1 benefits from an en-suite shower room, and an integral storage cupboard to help keep your space well-organised. The second, double-sized bedroom, along with the third bedroom is served by the family bathroom.

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).
