Caution
Real 9.72% return before costs but flagged risks need pricing in.
Why it works
- Monthly profit +£406/mo from completion — the no.1 reason to invest
- 9.72% return before costs — above-market
- Stress Rent-covers-mortgage check PASS at 6.5% rate stress — lender-friendly
Why to be cautious
- Service charge unknown — could swing £100-300/mo
- No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.
- EPC band not stated — verify the certificate before offering (2030 MEES minimum is band C).
