AGENTS NOTEPlease be aware that some photographs used in our particulars are obtained using a wide-angle lens. For offers to be submitted in the best light, prospective buyers will be required to talk to our Independent Mortgage Advisor. DISCLAIMER The information given in these particulars is intended to help you decide whether you wish to view this property and to avoid wasting your time in viewing unsuitable properties.  We have tried to make sure that these particulars are accurate, but to a large extent we have to rely on what the seller tells us about the property.  We do not check every single piece of information ourselves as the cost of doing so would be prohibitive and we do not wish to unnecessarily add to the cost of moving house.  Once you find the property you want to buy, you will need to carry out more investigations into the property than it is practical or reasonable for an estate agent to do when preparing sales particulars.  For example, we have not carried out any kind of survey of the property to look for structural defects and would advise any homebuyer to obtain a surveyors report before exchanging contracts.  If you do not have your own surveyor, we would be pleased to recommend one.  We have not checked whether any equipment in the property (such as central heating) is in working order and would advise homebuyers to check this.  You should also instruct a solicitor to investigate all legal matters relating to the property (e.g. title, planning permission etc) as these are specialist matters in which estate agents are not qualified.  Your solicitor will also agree with the seller what items (e.g. carpets, curtains etc) will be included in the sale.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.67% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £175,000
- **Target investor price (1%):** £140,000

*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).*
