## Description

A well-presented modern FREEHOLD semi-detached property, occupying a corner plot at the head of a quiet residential cul-de-sac.  Approached via the entrance hall, the accommodation comprises a spacious living room which opens into the dining kitchen and in turn double doors lead to the spacious double glazed conservatory to the rear.  To the first floor, there are three bedroom (the master bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes) and a stylish family bathroom.  Outside, the property is set in gardens to three sides, the front being laid to lawn and the rear being low maintenance with an Astro turf lawn and paved patio area.  Double gates open from the driveway to provide additional off-road parking facility if required.  Benefitting from UPVC double glazing and a gas central heating system, we strongly recommend viewing for this attractive property.

## 1% Rule

- **Rent ratio:** 0.79% (weak for cashflow)
- **Max investor price (0.8%):** £143,750
- **Target investor price (1%):** £115,000

*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.*

- **Monthly cashflow:** £439/mo (75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term)
- **Cash-on-cash ROI:** 12.5%

*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).*
