## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.98% (okay)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £172,125
- **Target investor price (1%):** £137,700

- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 19.6%

*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).*
