## Description

Heywoods Estate Agents welcome to the market this three bedroom detached home situated in a desirable and quiet cul-de-sac on Wem Grove, Mitchells Wood, Newcastle-under-Lyme. Perfectly positioned in a lovely spot backing onto open countryside, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with far-reaching views and offers convenient access to local shops, well-regarded schools and excellent road links to the A34 and A500.

The property is set back from the road behind a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. On entering the home, you are welcomed into a hallway with access to the principal rooms. The spacious L-shaped lounge and dining area create a light and comfortable living space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with patio doors opening out to the rear garden and countryside beyond.

**Average rent: £957/mo (36 listings)**

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.43% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £117,500
- **Target investor price (1%):** £94,000

*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 £940/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 5.1%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 19.5×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £-45/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -0.9%

*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).*
