15.57% Rent by the room return before costs — verify the rent + comps locally.
Why it works
- 10.24% return before costs — above-market
- 15.6% Rent by the room return before costs (net 7.66% after CapEx + bills) — conversion play
- Priced below market -4% vs 12 nearby sold (last 12 mo) — instant equity
- Stress Rent-covers-mortgage check PASS at 6.5% rate stress — lender-friendly
Why to be cautious
- EPC D — must hit C by 2030 (~£3,000–£7,000)
- No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.
