Description
Location - Set in Cheshire's plains, on the fringe of the Peak District National Park, Macclesfield combines the old with the new.

Macclesfield is a modern shopping centre with a range of leisure facilities to suit most tastes. There is a popular monthly Treacle Market which is a bustling Arts, Antiques, Crafts, Food and Drink Market, held on the cobbles of the town centre with around 140 stalls of exceptional food and drink, unique crafts and vintage and information from the Macclesfield community. There are many independent and state primary and secondary schools. The access points of the North West Motorway network system, Manchester International Airport and some of Cheshire's finest countryside are close at hand.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- 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).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus 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).
