Description
A 30% share is offered for sale in conjunction with Milton Keynes Council and the property has NO PREMIUM.
Property was originally a 3 bedroom semi detached house with a dividing wall taken out making two bedrooms into one large room - this should be simple to replace if you require. It currently comprises a hall, lounge, kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The property does require some basic updating hence it is offered for sale without a premium. Outside there is a garage, front and a good size rear garden, and the property is ideally located just a short distance from Central Milton Keynes and it’s extensive facilities.

Bedroom 1 is a double bedroom located to the rear.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- 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).
- 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.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
