**Average rent: £967/mo (17 listings)**

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.34% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £111,875
- **Target investor price (1%):** £89,500

*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 £895/mo).*

- **Gross yield:** 4.1%
- **Cost-to-rent:** 24.2×
- **Monthly cashflow:** £-243/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** -3.9%

*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).*

## Capital growth trend

*Land Registry outcode average from sold prices: last 12 months vs 5y and 10y ago.*

- **5y growth:** 25.4%
- **10y growth:** 63.9%

## House Price Index (HM Land Registry)

*Official index for Cheshire East; Semi-detached series; as of March 2026.*

- **1y growth (index):** 2.3%

- **10y growth (index):** 56.5%
