LocationGrange-over-Sands is an Edwardian seaside resort which continues to be popular with holiday makers throughout the year. The town offers a wide range of amenities including local butchers, newsagents, mini-marts, post office, library, pubs and craft and clothes shops as well as train and road access, walks along the seafront promenade and regular art and craft exhibitions within the town. Its access to The Lakes via the southern tip of Lake Windermere also makes Grange a popular holiday-home base for second-home owners

Rent-driven metrics

Based on Area rent estimate.

Rent ratio 0.38%
Max investor price (0.8%) £119,250
Target investor price (1%) £95,400
  • 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).
