** ** Accommodation - An entrance lobby leads to a pleasant lounge and dining area with a focal point fireplace (the gas fire is not working).

The kitchen has an attractive range of units with contrasting granite effect work surfaces, a stainless steel one and a half bowl sink and drainer, tiled splash backs and a tiled floor. (The oven does not work).

An inner hall leads to two bedrooms and a shower room having a corner shower, wash basin with cupboard beneath, WC and attractive tiling.

  • 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.
