No rent data on file — verify locally before offering.
Why it works
- Priced below market -66% vs 12 nearby sold (last 12 mo) — instant equity
Why to be cautious
- EPC D — must hit C by 2030 (~£3,000–£7,000)
- Auction lot — bridging-only finance, 28-day completion
- Monthly profit −£342/mo — significantly negative — real recurring drain
- No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.
