DESCRIPTION
Market Harborough is a picturesque medieval 'new town', developed in the 12th century especially to be a market and promote local trade. It has a population of 22,911 and is the administrative headquarters of Harborough District Council. Harborough landmarks include a 14th century church - St. Dionysius, which boasts a breath taking spire and a tourist attraction, 17th century "Old Grammar School", which is a famous building standing on huge oak pillars.
Harborough is central to some stunning villages including Great Bowden, Maidwell, Naseby, Cottingham and Foxton, which is also a tourist attraction with its well-used Grand Canal and locks.

- 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).
