Description
We have made several improvements to the property since we have lived here including the installation of a new boiler and re-decorating many of the rooms.One of the main things that really attracted us was the lovely big kitchen/dining room, which is particularly ideal for gatherings and at Christmas we have had at least 10 people sitting round the table.Our home is particularly well positioned for all the amenities such as the schools and the town centre, allowing easy access onto the M2 motorway within a matter of a few minutes by car.Room sizes:GROUND FLOOREntrance HallLounge: 14'2 × 10' (4.32m × 3.05m)Study Area: 8'6 × 6'3 (2.59m × 1.91m)Kitchen/Dining Room: 18'6 × 10' (5.64m × 3.05m)Utility Area: 6'10 × 5'6 (2.08m × 1.68m)Bathroom: 8'8 × 6'8 (2.64m × 2.03m)FIRST FLOORBedroom 1: 14'4 × 10'2 (4.37m × 3.1m)Bedroom 2: 12'6 × 7' (3.81m × 2.14m)Bedroom 3: 14'7 × 10' (4.45m × 3.05m)OUTSIDEFront & Rear GardensDrive to Side for 2 Cars

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).
