Superbly presented three bedroom semi detached family home in a convenient location in Vicars Cross and within a short walk to Hoole and the City Centre. Open plan living and dining with modern kitchen. Two double bedrooms & bathroom. Driveway parking & enclosed rear garden. Close to transport links.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.94% (okay)

- **Target investor price (1%):** £277,000

- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 18.3%

*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).*
