The Area
Shilbottle is a popular village 3 miles south east of Alnwick and 5 miles from the coastal village of Alnmouth with its main line station (linking London to Edinburgh) and just a few minutes’ drive from the A1. Traditionally, the village’s roots were in coal mining but this has now given way to a thriving mixed generation village with amenities including a popular first school, shop, restaurant/take away, post office, chemist, public house and a well-used, modern village hall.
The market town of Alnwick boasts wider amenities including supermarkets, well known high street retailers, banks, specialist shops and the world-renowned Alnwick Garden and Alnwick castle.

Rent ratio 0.67%
Max investor price (0.8%) £83,875

  • 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).
