12.70% Rent by the room return before costs — market rent unverified, verify rent + comps locally.
Why it works
- 9.96% return before costs — above-market
- 12.7% Rent by the room return before costs (net 6.83% after CapEx + bills) — conversion play
- Stress Rent-covers-mortgage check PASS at 6.5% rate stress — lender-friendly
- Tenanted in situ — instant Monthly profit from completion
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.
