## Description

Sit back, relax and take a few minutes to watch our fully guided video tour of this NO CHAIN bungalow!

True bungalows are often hard to find in this market so when this one came along we just knew it would cause a stir! Located at the head of a well established cul de sac in a beautiful position, this spacious property enjoys generous mature and well kept gardens to both the front and rear. Inside the home are two good sized bedrooms, a shower room,  a roomy lounge and dining room, a breakfast kitchen with large utility. Completing the whole package is a very useful garage and generous driveway.

Locally, the village of Mossley is just a short walk away and the area is well served by local bus routes and commuter links. Plenty of amenities are on hand at local convenience stores in the village and the town and we feel that living here would certainly put a smile on your face every day!

Call the Mossley experts here at Chris Hamriding Estate Agents to find out more and book yourself that all important viewing, we'd love to hear from you!

**Average rent: £944/mo (16 listings)**

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.28% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £111,875
- **Target investor price (1%):** £89,500

*Monthly rent ÷ price. 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak. Max investor price = rent ÷ 0.8% (Stoke-style target). Target investor price = rent ÷ 1% (strong cashflow band). Based on OpenRent comparables.*

## Rent-driven metrics

*Based on OpenRent comparables (median £895/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 3.3%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 30.3×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £-499/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -6.4%

*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).*

## Price per Square Metre

- **£/m²:** £3,652/m²
